| - Between the reviews and the pictures, my mouth was watering for some serious pho etc, and I got down to Superior Pho's the first chance I could. It was early on a Sunday, and there were very few people in the nicely inviting little restaurant.
Have to give you a serious hint to parking - once you get onto Superior Ave off of 90 E, you will come to E 30th and E31st. Just make a right onto E 31st and a right into the parking lot behind the restaurant - it's clearly marked. The facade on Superior Avenue is very confusing, so realize that the TRUE facade is on the parking-lot side. At least on Sundays.
As for the food. Oh my gosh, I can wax poetic, ecstatic and everything else, but I cannot truly tell you in words just how satisfying it is. The pho choices are many, but they are really not complicated at all. It's just a matter of how many different cuts of meat you want in your soup*. Simple. I ordered the #12, because it had all but the meatballs, and it was supreme. Second time, I ordered the #3, and it was just as supreme. The price for a large pho is $7.95 down the line, so you're going to get as much meat in a number 12 as you are a number 1. Ahhhhhh. Makes no difference. For anyone interested, a large bowl is definitely a meal. My first visit, I ordered some rice rolls and a bubble tea in addition to my pho, and I had to walk about four miles when I got home just to ease my belly fullness. Second trip, narrowed it down to just the soup and tea, and I was still pretty full, but comfortable.
Right now, considering prices, what's in and what's not, basic value, ambiance, lack-of, etc etc, Superior Pho is my favorite restaurant in the city, and I'm a foodie:)
*PS Pho Ga is CHICKEN soup. I'm just referring to straight Pho (pronounced Fuh).
