| - If I said you could get Vietnamese food on the Strip, you might nod and smile. If I said you could get GOOD Vietnamese food INSIDE a Strip casino, you might think I'm pulling your leg. Well that's exactly what Pho provides.
As far as I can tell, the menu is traditional Vietnamese, lacking weird fusion menu items like banh mi with Kobe beef, or spring rolls with tartar sauce and a strawberry reduction. Their menu is overpriced as all hell (you're NOT getting your money's worth), but what do you expect in Vegas? Their prices don't stop hungry tourists from coming in, as the restaurant was far from empty.
To start, we shared spring rolls and fried rolls as appetizers - both were okay. As a main dish, we all ordered Vietnamese hoagies (pho banh mi thit: weighing in at a crazy high $8.50 each). They were a tasty affair - the bread rolls were crispy, grilled meat delectable, overkill cilantro was in there, and hot green peppers too. I've had the pho before too, it's decent and you're given mint and bean sprouts on the side.
Our server (Catalina) was helpful and friendly. When she brought over the shots of Hennessey (!) we ordered, were surprised to see generous portions of alcohol.
Recommended. I would return (actually, I already have!), partially for the novelty, and definitely for the refreshing brunch of Vietnamese cuisine.
