| - THIS IS THE BEST PLACE FOR PHO IN LAS VEGAS. Don't be fooled, they have another location on Spring Mtn Road in Chinatown, but this location in Henderson is much better.
For me pho comes down to 4 things.
1. the soup.
2. the noodles
3. the meat
4. cleanliness
The soup here is real, some places try to cut corners by not using real stock, they go with the "gaijing" or chicken/pork base, this saves hours of prep and time (and is cheaper) but the taste isn't there. If you want to know if real stock is being used, take a cup full home, put it in the fridge and if it has fat settled on the top in form of white dots, its the real deal. THIS PLACE USES REAL STOCK AND THE FLAVOR IS REALLY REALLY GOOD.
The noodles here are good, they don't give you a ton, so if you are a big eater like myself you can order extra, or load up on the sprouts and basil. I am 6'4 and push 300 lbs, this place fills me up with out extra noodles, mainly due to the generous portion of meat.
The meat here is perfect. IT IS CUT THIN!!! There are so many pho places that simply slice their meat too thick and it tastes chalky and hard to digest. Here they do it perfect. The rare eye of the round, brisket and fatty brisket are perfect. I get the #18 that comes with all the above with tendon and tripe.
You can tell this place is well taken care of. The hoisin sauce bottle is clean, the hot sauce container doesnt have 3 week old hot sauce jerky hanging from it (foodies will know what i mean) and the place is decorated nicely, service is fast and nice.
We live 2 mins from Chinatown but will travel 30 mins to Henderson to eat here. BEST PLACE FOR PHO IN LAS VEGAS, HANDS DOWN.
