| - I haven't been here in awhile but I went to the Costco in the complex and it reminded me of how great this place is.
The food is great, first of all. I've had a few different dishes here and I always go back to the pho. The initial indicator of pho quality, to me, is the soup's temperature. I hate, hate, hate when I get a bowl of warmish soup. I want it hot. When it shows up only a little warm or tepid, it means a) the soup wasn't hot enough when you placed in the meat or b) frozen meat was dropped in my hot soup. Boo. I know that restaurants use frozen meat but I don't want it to be apparent, either.
The pho here has been hot and delicious, whenever I've ordered it. The little Vietnamese sandwiches are pretty good too. My Dad and I usually split a sandwich and each order a bowl of pho.
Speaking of my Dad, my second point: My Father and I replaced the floor of my entire condo with laminate flooring. If you've done it (correctly) you know it's messy. My Dad doesn't do fast food so for helping me out, I would get us Viet Kitchen. I worried that the staff would give us weird looks or somehow treat us differently for showing up sweaty and covered in dust. They didn't. They were extremely friendly; inviting us to the bar to sit, chatting with us and pouring us glasses of water while we waited for our takeout.
I felt special.
I will ALWAYS remember that. People who recognize and welcome people who work hard are likely people who work hard, themselves.
