Just dropped in to this new Liberty Village pan-Asian place tonight and was happily surprised. Best calamari I've had--crispy outside and perfectly soft inside--and I've tried it in many places (we'll have to see if they are consistent though). The chicken Pho was exactly what I needed (dealing with a sore throat/virus thing) and they were great about adding broccoli on request...and lots of it. The noodles were larger than the usual vermicelli noodles, but good, only weird thing was that they were all cut up into shorter noodles? No idea why. But really that was a small thing. The broth was excellent and the portion was amazing for 7.99. My partner had the black bean beef dish with steamed rice on the side. Quite decent though not spectacular. Also, they served Stassen green tea, which is a cut above the green tea usually served in Asian restaurants.
Pros: Great food and service. Very affordable. Large and interesting menu (Thai/Viet/Chinese). Friendly staff. Nice modern decor with high ceilings. Bathrooms were cute too. Offer take out.
Cons: Eating in an empty restaurant is weird, but I think that will change as more people discover them.The fact that they cut up the Pho noodles into smaller noodles was odd, but otherwise I thought everything was great. Also, it would be wonderful if they added some fruit shakes to the drinks menu. Right now it's just tea, juice and pop.
Overall, a great addition to Liberty Village (and close to our place). Looking forward to going back (when I'm not sick) to try the long list of appetizers.
