| - My new favoritest place to eat!!! Because, because, be-caaaauuuse.... because of the wonderful things and phos. The very best bun bo hue in all the land. I could probably eat this dish almost daily and never tire of the rich, bursting flavorful goodness that delights my tongue with magical flavor tingles. The wonton noodle soup is my second favorite dish here. I didn't really have an opinion on the pho, as I've only had it once and remember it being good.
The staff is super cool and nice. On my first visit the main guy in charge noticed my stiff shoulders and arms folded across my belly in an attempt to conserve my body heat and he immediately rushed to turn off the fans near my table. On my second visit I totally butchered the pronunciation of bun bo hue, to which my waitress ever so politely corrected and assured me that it happened all of the time. It probably doesn't, but I appreciated the fact that she was so nice about it. Also, by the way, this particular visit was when my love affair with bun bo hue started. I've had it many other places, but never quite this delicious and tasty.
The place is very clean and inviting, decorated with tasteful individual pictures of featured dishes above each table - not overdone and not like the Chinese take-out restaurants that have a wall of pictures of every dish offered with half the names misperred. At first I thought the name to be somewhat of a contradiction, as Asian food and the imagery associated with "bistro" don't seem to jive. But after dining there a few times, I realize that it works. The space is fairly small and intimate, with approximately 10-15 tables.
Parking can sometimes be tricky if you try to visit on a week day around lunch time as it's located in a strip center that houses a variety of popular lunch spots. Any other times, parking is a breeze.
Love, love, loooooove this place. Go get yourself some of their delisherous bun bo hue NOW!
