Since I moved here from Honolulu, I knew I would be let down by mediocre Asian food. I wasn't surprised here.
Good Vietnamese restaurants are gauged by either Pho or Banh Mi (french bread sandwiches). The Pho here is not horrible, but, eh, even I can open up a can of beef broth and throw in some spices at home. When I go to a restaruant I want to eat something better than I can make.I know it takes time and effort to make a good stock, which they don't do here.
Service was horribly slow, probably due to not enough Pho places down South. If you want quality, I guess you gotta make the drive to chinatown.
