I am a Pho connoisseur. I have had good Pho and not so good Pho. But never Pho that I had a hard time eating. Maybe they were just having an off day. The broth tasted like a concentrated beef bouillon. Too strong to eat, missing the traditional spices like star anise, ginger and garlic. The beef was dry and didn't look fresh, the jalepenos appeared to have been previously frozen. They served cilantro on the plate instead of basil with a lime wedge and a modest amount of sprouts. I was hungry so I ate the food and left the broth. I had to get a bite down the street to clear my head because I couldn't stop thinking about how bad it was and the taste was lingering on my tongue. However the server was sweet and cute as a button.
