| - Went there today because the Phoenix Palace next door was closed. Figured if you can't get dim sum, pho is a good second best. Asked the server about items on the menu and she just shrugged, saying this was her first week. Apparently not interested in learning about the food. Two of us had pho (one seafood, one eye of round and brisket), the third had #32, a bun bowl (I think that's what it's called.) Also ordered two appetizers: Vietnamese crepe and grilled pork rolls. Appetizers came out last, which was a little strange since the grilled pork rolls turned out to be the cold type of spring roll. Tasty, but they really could have come out earlier. Not sure how we were supposed to eat the crepe, which came with a mound of lettuce leaves and mint. In any event probably didn't matter since it didn't have much taste even with the mint and the sauce. Husband didn't think his #32 had much flavor. The pho bowls were on the small side but the price was fairly low. Beef was tough, overdone and had no flavor at all, but the broth was excellent. Seafood pho rated a 4 out of 5. I know that you can't expect a lot of love from your server in a restaurant like this, but we got no attention whatsoever and the place was not that busy. No reason to return. On the plus side the restrooms were roomy and clean.
