| - I have been to the original Pho Annie about 25 plus times. I was so excited to hear a new Pho Annie was opening up right in my hood, so I didn't have to drive 20 minutes to get to my fave Vietnamese restaurant.
We order the exact same thing each time we go, pretty much. My hubby gets the pork chop with broken rice and fried egg. I get Pho Tai or Bun Thit Nuong.
I love the decor inside and it is way better than the other location which is dated with ripped seats at several of their booths. It is clean, modern, new, with high ceilings. Service seemed off (very to the point and quick) which is normal for most Asian restaurants, but we usually get a slightly better vibe from the waiters at the other restaurant.
On to the food-hubby's pork chop was served not on a plate, but on a half plate/half bowl. It has ridges on the edge going around it. I am not trying to be super picky but if you are Filipino you eat with a fork and spoon, and the ridges make it really hard to scoop up your food on to your spoon. My hubby was having a hard time with this fancier plate. We don't need the fancy, we would be perfectly happy with the regular plain dishes.
My bun had a hair in it, which was not mine. I was disgusted and never came back. Makes me sad because this is truly my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I know hairs happen, but it just grosses me out when it's my first time eating there and I find a hair.
I also got pho to go one time since then giving them one more chance and the pho tasted off. Broth was flavorless. For now, I am going to stick to their original location. I hope to give them another shot one day at this location.
