| - We were excited to have pho on New Years day, and as you have it: the neighbourhood favourite, Pho Lihn was closed for the holidays. So we found ourselves in this big spacious Pho Phuong.
The service was lack luster, slow, and inattentive. When asked for red pepper, we had to ask twice, and why did we have to ask anyway? Most other places bring it with the beansprout and basil. They only gave us one, and since we were a group of five, we had to share a tiny single pepper.
They continue to show their stinginess: The few pieces of pork that I had on my vermicelli, were over fried till it is covered in black burn mark. Yes, the exact black mark that I was taught to stay away from growing up.
My vermicille tasted okay, nothing to write home about, and the pho was reportedly passable. But did I mention it was more expensive than the (way tastier) pho nearby (Pho Lihn, Turtle, etc)?
It was not the first meal I'd wish to eat for the start of a new year, but it can only get better, right?
