The famous Nem Nuong Rolls alone earns this place a solid five-star, however, it was the pho that was a let down.
We walked into Nem Nuong on a quiet Tuesday night and only a few people were there. They did not have any music playing or anything for background noise so we awkwardly kept our conversation to somewhat of a whisper like the other diners.
The Nem Nuong Rolls are absolutely delicious. What made them so good to me? The crunch is crucial and these rolls had it. Now to the pho.. When I was looking through the menu, I could see that the prices here were a bit higher than other pho places around. Maybe this meant that the broth and food would be promising? No. We both ordered a bowl of the Pho Tai Bo Vien. The broth was nearly tasteless (my boyfriend refers to it as hot lime water) and led to me packing it with a bunch of sauces.
I'll be back for the Nem Nuong Rolls and to see if the other items on their menu offer more flavor.
