This place started out great - until they underwent new management (by one of the Central pho places). The only saving grace is their vermicelli bowl, which is so well-crafted that you'd think it'd be an indication that they'd make other great dishes. The pho is dark but bland, and the papaya salad is the worst I've tasted since my own, at my first attempt many years ago. Ride up to Pho Cali instead if you want good Vietnamese.
