| - We decided to randomly check out Pho Tai Bac for something different and comforting. While tempted to order a Pho dish, I slipped back to my favorite "dry" offering of Bun (noodles) with shrimp (on a stick of sugarcane, I believe) peanuts and veggies. The server offered a bowl of hot soup which was rich in flavour and very aromatic. My wife ordered her favorite, Pho with beef, however like many Spidina Vietnamese shops, they don't seem to serve tripe. I personally would be afraid of that stuff, but there is no accounting for some tastes.
Like other reviews, there is likely something for everyone, from aforementioned Pho and dry options, to a more safe choice like grilled chicken and rice. I also am a sucker for sauces, such as Hosein sauce and others which I had a tough time identifying.
The service is lightening fast, friendly and almost like a cultural experience, in that the restaurant seems transplanted from its Asian roots. For the three of us, with tip and a few sodas, was about $27.00, which is a good value for a healthier option. That also includes complementary tea. Will definately go back!
