| - The decor in O Phoenix is a bit unusual. The restaurant sits in an unassuming strip mall, but inside it looks (and sounds, thanks to the space-agey music they play) like a trendy lounge. That's not good or bad, but it's an unusual contrast to a typical Vietnamese restaurant.
We came mid-afternoon on a quiet Monday, so we were surprised and disappointed that we had to wait for a half hour for our food to come. Once they arrived, our orders (shrimp rice wrappers, pho, and grilled pork on rice) were tasty enough, although the pho came without the basil leaves, bean sprouts, sriracha, and hoisin sauce that typically accompany it at other Vietnamese restaurants.
Overall this place was ok and I'd eat there again, but at the same time I can't think of any reason to recommend it over any other Vietnamese restaurant given the wait.
