| - My wife quipped Mediocre Pho. We have been to great Pho places all over -including LA, NY, Chicago, Seoul, London, and even Des Moines, IA. I want to like this place -it is bright and clean and well staffed, but the service was uneven. The broth which is the heart of the Pho was barely there. It wasn't salty is the best I can come up. The meat was not good quality. It was fresh enough, but had no good structure or flavor, likely because it was overboiled. The vegetables were fresh. The sauces were clean and and fresh. Place is always crowded with people who haven't had amazing Pho which is that perfect match of raw and cooked, chewy and crunchy, light but substantial. You can say it was an off day, but this is the second time I have eaten here and was disappointed.
The bun ch'a gio thin nit thuong (sp?) had the same problems -the spring rolls were mushy with mystery meat, the pork was okay.
The iced coffee was good.
