| - There was a long wait at the pho place across the street, so my pops and I said "pho-gettaboutit" and decided to stop here instead. There are about 3 pho spots along Eastern within a mile, so Hendersonites need not drive out to Chinatown yonder to satisfy a simple pho craving.
First impression: cafeteria vibes. We were glad that there were plenty of tables open. Tables are numbered to keep tabs of orders and your check. Pay at the register. I actually dug the simplicity of the place. Get in, get out! No frills.
To start, we had the GOI CUON TOM, fresh shrimp rolls (2 pieces). I thought they were okay, I had to slather on the peanut sauce in order to taste anything. Their iced water had an odd taste, to me it smelled like bleach, so I asked for some canned coconut juice. I don't know if they were trying to up-sell, but they only had fresh coconut. I'm glad I took it -- refreshing!
We opted for small sized servings, which was plenty. I decided on the PHO TOM (shrimp) and my dad ordered the PHO HAI SAN (seafood). We were given the standard plate of veggies to share: bean sprouts, jalapeƱo pepper slices, basil, lime. Pretty good. My dad also tried their taro boba to-go, but he said it was too sweet.
They also have lunch specials here, but quickly scanning their options, it seemed to be siding more towards chinese food. No pho specials on their lunch menu.
