  • Prologue: My girlfriend and I are always in the mood for a satisfying lunch after our regular weekend hike and, more often than not, it ends up being noodles of some kind. We needed to stop by Lee Lee Supermarket to pick up a couple of things and so we decided to try Pho Van, which was the first time for both of us. The Plot: We shared and order of Gi Cun (Summer Rolls, a.k.a. Fresh Spring Rolls), a bowl of Ph ?c Bit (the standard and probably most popular version beef noodle soup with sliced eyeround steak, brisket, flank, tendon, and beef meatball), and Cm Tm Sn Bò (beef short rib rice plate). The Scene: The portion sizes were generous and more than enough for the two of us. The peanut dipping sauce for the summer rolls was a nice balance of sweet and savory and the composition, taste, and texture of the rolls was good. The Pho was good, it did manage to satisfy our craving for carbs and protein, and it also warmed us up after being outdoors all morning on day that was gray and overcast. The highlight for us was the beef short ribs, which were very tender, flavorful, and had been nicely grilled. The Rest of the Story: The summer rolls arrived chilled and, judging by the fact that the lettuce and sliced pork had already dried out a bit, it's likely that they were prepared earlier that day and stored in the refrigerator. We think it really does make a difference when summer rolls are made to order (see our Binh Duong Quan review on 11/6/16) because they're more flavorful when served fresh and at room temperature. The beef stock for the Pho was good but otherwise unremarkable. Considering that the quality of the beef broth in Pho is one of the hallmarks of a good Vietnamese restaurant, along with the price of $9 per bowl, I would have expected the kitchen to have put a little more effort into developing the depth and complexity of the beef stock. Epilogue: The service was prompt, courteous, and all of our orders arrived fairly quickly. This restaurant is a bit pricey compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area of similar quality. My girlfriend liked the décor, which is definitely a plus when we dine out. Photo design by Billie Z.
