| - As usual, one of my coworkers is a foodie, and he told me that we should try out this Pho place, besides the usual Pho Anise. This place is located in the plaza that is adjacent to the car dealerships on Jane St, north of Rutherford. If you are going south on Jane, you'd have to make a left into the plaza entrance (same entrance to Zona's), and then make a quick left/U Turn and you'll see the place.
Upon entering, we sat down and looked at the menu. The ambiance, and overall hygiene, I'd rate it out of a 7.5/10. The menus could use some overhaul in terms of their layout and appearance.
I noticed that they only had one vegetarian dish, which actually its just plain noodle soup. To add mixed vegetables, its another $3.45 if I am not mistaken. As far as I know, most Pho places I've been to, already have the vegetables and don't charge you for it. Any how, I didn't want to seem picky, so I opted for that. I was not asked if I wanted the broth to be vegetable based. I am quiet sure it is either fish or chicken based, but I myself had to ask. At least Pho Anise informed me or had asked me in the past, where and if I want the vegetable broth.
Any how, that being aside, the server told me that there's no vegetable broth, and they'll use water instead. That was no fun at all. It was tasteless and lets just say that I wasn't satisfied. Even adding the hot sauce to the soup, did nothing at all. There's not much to say about the vegetables. Vegetables are vegetables, and at least they were cooked properly, and not raw.
I guess I won't be coming back to this place after all, and would continue going to Pho Anise for my pho.
