| - Meh. Maybe I just don't get pho. We never had pho before but came because of the amazing yelp reviews. Had spring rolls, their "P1" house pho special with a few types of beef and the seafood pho.
Again, meh. It's a small place. The place was crowded and had to write our name on a clipboard hidden off to the side for a table, how people were supposed to know that I don't know. We got put at a cramped table right by the kitchen door and uncomfortably close to another couple, we asked to be moved to a booth when it opened. Spring rolls were alright. Service was fair. Pho was so so. Bland broth and noodles, bland meat. Seafood pho had two shrimp, two scallops and two shelled crab claws with no way to get at the meat. We tried to spice it up with the basil, jalapeƱo, salt, pepper etc and it helped a little but otherwise stayed pretty bland.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I read all the raving reviews, but we just didn't like the food and didnt see what was so special to warrant the 100+ near perfect reviews. I mean, they got better reviews than Cork... Cork! Maybe this place just isn't pho us (sorry, unoriginal hacky pun, I know).
