| - Since Spring Roll Factory closed several months ago, we've been thinking about trying to find a replacement that served delicious pork noodle bowls, and Pho Van does exactly that. We stopped in yesterday for lunch and were greeted and seated right away. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee and my husband ordered a Tsingtao.
We started with their egg rolls which are nicely done. Fresh, flavorful ingredients on the inside and fried nice and light so they weren't greasy. Really enjoyed those. I had the lemongrass beef noodle bowl and my husband ordered the BBQ pork noodle bowl.
We were both impressed with the flavors of the meat and how tender it was. The vegetables were nice and fresh too. I love having a big pile of fresh mint to add to the dish. The noodles were mostly ok, but a little clumpy.
His beer was good and cold in a frosty mug, and my coffee was nice as well, but it came in a smallish plastic cup full of ice. I don't know if I'd order that again at $4.95. Our server was friendly and helpful until the food was delivered. Then we never saw her again. We had to go up front to pay, and maybe that's the way they do it, but we never saw an itemized check or receipt. We had no issues using the Yelp check-in offer of 10% off the total, but like I said, I have no idea what the itemized list was.
Before tip and after the discount, the total was $32.11. We saw several other interesting dishes go by our table and I look forward to trying more items on the menu. I could see stopping in often for takeout on my way home from work.
