| - The pho broth is good. No MSG, no pho seasoning mix, and just the way old Vietnamese people like having it for breakfast (at least that's what the old Vietnamese ghost that lives in my house told me).
I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about when they say the pho broth is too sweet - traditional pho usually has an adequate amount of rock sugar in the broth, and it seemed to be at an appropriate level.
My only gripe is the beef preparation for the pho. I had the pho tai. I usually like putting it in raw, letting it cook in the broth. It was too tough the last couple times I've had it, and may be because they froze the meat too long. Haven't tried the brisket, which I suspect is better.
Tip: no MSG so no need for too much sriacha or hoisin. Taste, then add.
Bumped to 3 stars because it is better than most Cleveland pho shops, but it would be lower if it were in major V-towns, like Westminster, San Jose, San Diego, etc
