| - This was my first Pho experience!
Yay!!
I've been told how amazing pho is,
how it's great when you have a cold,
and how amazing it is when you're freezing through winter.
Now that I've sampled pho,
I feel like I can order it more confidently in the future,
once I am back home and looking for something to
keep me warm on the cold Minnesota snowy winters.
I was staying at my friend's house in Lakewood
and we were sitting in his living room, weighing our options for food.
I wanted to try something with some spice, something a little more exotic.
We had been dining on american food and I wanted something different.
He decided to try Khiem's Cuisine,
almost on a dare,
because the reviews are hit and miss on the place.
We decided to go here and settle the star-score once and for all.
First off-
don't come here if you're a foodie snob.
Don't come here if you want someone to kiss your ass
and make you feel like the King of Lakewood.
Don't come here if you're looking for a fancy dine-in experience.
This place is a total hole in the wall, very minimal decor.
It's not pretty inside, nope.
But, I like that.
It's a roof over your head and a chair under your butt,
and for me, that's good enough.
The food really is the star of the show here.
The woman that seated us was nice
and she brought us our bowls of pho very quickly.
After serving us our food,
she talked on the phone for awhile,
so we were left to eat our food and enjoy each other's company.
The pho was very good!
It was served nice and hot,
fragrant and tasty.
It was pleasing to all my senses in a way
that only a really good bowl of soup can be.
It warms your belly and sort of opens up your sinuses
in a way that is comforting and theraputic.
I can really see how people like to eat pho
when they are trying to beat the winter woes away.
