| - Pho 87 is just okay for me. Ate here before after reading Nelson Q's review, but still thought their pho is just okay. Came back again for the Pho 87 big ass bowl of pho in 87 minutes challenge UYE for moral support, and eventually tried their Chicken Pho which I thought was good. The dessert menu is basically just the boba tea menu with a good selection of flavors to select from. I tried the Almond Smoothie with Boba, and I think that it would be better as just a regular Almond Boba Tea since the ice ws not blended fine enough. Could it be that they are not using a Vita-Mix for the job?
Other items I have tried here: Pork and Shrimp Spring Rolls. It was decent, but you don't get much in terms of the featured protein.
Someone else ordered a rice entree for $7, and it is enough to fill you up, but again lacking in the proteins department.Personally I prefer restaurant that serves a plate of food they way they would like to see it if they were doing the ordering, and price it accordingly instead of cutting back on the portions.
The waitress is funny with her comments, which can be considered rude, but she did say that she is the Pho Nazi. And since I took so long to decide what to order, she promptly skipped me and said "No pho for you". :p
Their Pho 87 challenge is formidable. The bowl is really big! Supposedly 2.5x their regular large size pho and costs $30 to order. However if you finish it in the allotted 87 minutes with no outside help, the pho is free plus you keep the bowl, $87 prize and fame, bragging rights, billboard coverage and VIP treatment to the hottest Vegas night club scenes. I saw 4 people attempt this challenge, but the noodles was just too much.
What else? The restaurant is decorated pretty nicely. I think it was the decoration from a previous Asian or Japanese buffet restaurant, but it is part of the decor of Pho 87 now. And diners, please refrain from you or your kids playing with the restaurants lime green chopsticks, it is for eating and not as a drumstick. If you break it, they may not charge for it, but they are definitely thinking about it.
Pho 87 is not the best and not the worst pho experience I have had here in Las Vegas. Price is on the high side for the portion you get relative to other local pho restaurants, but they claim to make everything fresh from quality ingredients.
Overall - 3 stars.
P.S. Their herbs and lime wedges are very fresh!
