I came here with my dad today at around 11:30AM. I was always curious as to how great this restaurant is, considering it's been around for quite sometime and I would always walk by it whenever I go grocery shopping in Chinatown.
We were seated in the porch area and it took us a while for a server to get our order. I'd say from the time we were ready to give our order sheet to the time we got our food was about 25 minutes.
My dad and I got the small house special pho. The pho soup tasted OK and there was quite a bit of rare beef on top. I had to quickly flip it over for the soup to cook, however even after being simmer in it for 15 minutes the meat never fully cooked. It might have been my particular case that this happened, but I could see why numerous yelpers have complained about feeling sick. It was $8 per bowl and to be honest with you... it wasn't worth the price.
Some tips id like to give:
- they only accept cash
- they charge per person if dishes are split
- order the well-done pho to avoid the abundance of raw meat
