The greatest bonus about Pho Linh appears to be the large variety of modestly priced desserts and shakes available on the menu. In fact, one might argue that there is much greater variety offered in this category than for the main courses. The buzz of the blender being used mainly for the popular passion fruit smoothie was a bit of a bother on a hungover Sunday afternoon, but the restaurant is otherwise very clean and pleasant.
The variety of delicious rolls are a good value at $2 a piece. As for the Pho itself, they have several items with meatballs in it. I would navigate away from these and stick to the typical pho tai, or the Pho Linh variety that also includes pieces of chicken! The broth at Linh is quite thick and delicious, though the beef happens to be a bit thick and overcooked compared to what I'm used to.
The final note is that the non-pho dishes show a very heavy bias towards pork, in sausage, shredded, or other formats. Aside from a few items with fried chicken, there is not much to choose in terms poultry or seafood based main courses.
Overall a great pho spot that is a bit off the beaten path, and offers good value for the items they specialize in.
