| - This place reminds me of a little Chinese restaurant in Sacramento that we used to go to after church most Sundays. The couple that runs the restaurant remind me of most Asian grandparents -- kind of gruff, but well-meaning.
When we arrived on a Monday afternoon, the place was empty, but two more groups entered not long after, one of which was a rather awkward couple whose conversation was all too audible in the room, since there was no background music.
I had the pho tai which at $6.50 was a much better deal than #1 Pho's $8 bowl. The pho was presented with pepper sprinkled over the top, which I had never seen done before. The meat and rice noodles were good, but not exceptional. The broth was a tad bit too oily, and seemed to be lacking a certain punch in the flavour. Still, the weather was cold and rainy, and the soup was hot and plentiful. All in all, for the price and location, it was a pretty decent bowl of pho.
