| - My first ever foray into pho.
The place is easy enough to find, though the parking lot is shared with other businesses in the complex, and thus, parking was a little dicey on a Saturday night.
The place has a large interior space with ample seating, and my friend and I were seated quickly.
Their menu has a lot to offer, but the main event is definitely the pho. I ordered simply for my first try, going with basic sliced beef. All the side garnishes were fresh (bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, lime wedges) and there were a few condiments to add (chili paste, sriracha, fish sauce, etc).
The pho was served steaming hot and the broth was complex and delicious. The beef was just okay, it suffered a bit by being on the dry and overcooked side. The noodles were pretty standard. I didn't realize that the pho would come with as much cilantro in it as it did, and being that I'm not a big fan of the stuff, it tended to overwhelm. I tried to pick around it but the damage was mostly done because it was all throughout the bowl. If you're a cilantro lover, you'll be happy. If you're a member of Team Cilantro Haters, not so much.
Their hours are a bit quirky. They technically close at 8:30pm but they still seat people up to 8:15, so be aware.
I may return eventually, or I may hit up another pho/Vietnamese joint if the urge to try more pho strikes. It's a toss up.
