| - Wow, this broth is fantastic-- it needed nothing (although there are bottles of sriracha, another hot pepper paste and hoisin on the tables). The problem was that while the price was higher than Superior Pho, the bowls were smaller and there was far less meat in the bowl-- only a few small slices. And it was salty-- but take that opinion with a grain of salt (hah!) because I like only the most minuscule amount.
Still, despite that, I would go back again and again for the lovely taste of the broth, and the fantastic, attentive service.
The banh mi (a special) was really great. The bread was an airy, incredibly crispy baguette , or more of large epi bread roll. The pate was delicious and very evident-- not a thin smear. The pork was good and the jalapenos were hot. OK, another tiny complaint-- I would have liked more pickled veggies. There were only a few strips.
The sudden profusion of pho places in town can only be a good thing. Soon Clevelanders will be able to go to California and write snotty yelp reviews saying "Oh well, the pho was OK-- for California. But, I'm from Cleveland where we know good pho."
