I've been wanting to try Mr Pho ever since I saw their pho challenge. Of course, I wasn't going for the challenge itself but I thought that it was something that made them stand out from other pho restaurants in the area.
I came after work for an early dinner (5:30pm) so it was mostly empty. 4 of us ordered a couple of dishes to share:
Roti & Curry - This appetizer was the first dish to arrive. It comes with two pieces of roti and a small sauce dish of curry. The roti was deliciously warm and crispy. At first, I thought there's no way that they gave us enough curry for two pieces of roti. However, the curry is quite spicy. You don't need a lot so it ended up being the perfect amount.
Satay Beef Noodles - We ordered this because the owner (I assume he's the owner) was bringing this dish out to the table next to us and told us that this was their most popular and signature dish. Some of my co-workers said that this was spicier than the curry. I personally did not find this dish spicy and actually thought the broth had a nice and creamy taste. It came with a good portion of beef - more than I thought! The noodles were soft absorbed the taste of the broth.
Hainan Chicken on Rice - I normally don't order this on my own accord regardless of where I am - it's not a dish that really interests me. However, after trying it here, I can see myself ordering it again and even trying it at other restaurants. It smelled so good when he put it on our table. The chicken was so soft and had lots of meat. Every bit of the rice was very well-flavoured.
The owner (again, assuming he is the owner) had great customer service. He was very engaged in conversation with the table next to us and with our group as well. I would 100% recommend and will be returning in the near future.
