| - Best taro bubble tea I've had in forever, possibly in my life! That's how I started my meal at Pho An Hoa this past week with the most bubbly and fun group of Charlotte Yelper's! I couldn't help loving this group of people and the restaurant. A hole in the wall to be sure but with an incredible broth in their pho! I started with an order of fresh shrimp and pork spring rolls which was A-OK. Definitely tasty and nothing to ding them on, but not the most flavorful or protein forward that I've tried. The taro bubble tea was a different story! The bubbles were perfect, not squashy and fleshy from sitting too long but with great texture and honey-flavor. If you've never tried taro, do it! It's an Asian root that is the most Easter shade of purple imaginable.
A cold and rainy evening screams pho, so I went with the #1 (deemed the 'most popular' on the menu). Tribe, rare flank, meatballs and fatty brisket all served in a bed of noodles and incredible beef broth. Throw in some bean sprouts, basil leaves, lime and jalapeno with your choice of table sauces and you are in for a treat. Next time I will go with the non-most popular pho: number 4 or 5 would be my future pick. I gave tripe another try, but alas I don't like to crunch into my meat. I also wasn't a fan of the super fatty pieces of meat. Aside from these facts, the child's portion was perfect paired with a drink and overall a great value! Can't wait to return and try some other items from the menu; I could see Pho An Hao becoming a regular spot! Great food and awesome service all around.
