| - I'm always on the lookout for good Pho, so I decided to go out of my way to try this place. I started with the shrimp summer rolls ... there was not a lot of taste to them, but they were prepared nicely and the peanut sauce was spicy enough to at least give me something to taste.
This was followed by the steak and meatball pho and ... there was not a lot of taste to it, either. The plate of sprouts and leaves that came with the dish was a bit old and wilted, too. Now, they provide a variety of sauces on the table, so I was able to inject some heat and flavour into the bowl, but even at that I really didn't get a sense of good appeal. Also, the vermicelli had congealed into a blobby ball in the broth, and I had to pull and stretch it to get the right amount onto my chopsticks.
The service was ... well, about what you'd expect from a pho restaurant, actually. Nobody will ever win Miss Congeniality; but that comes with the territory. The food arrived quickly, which was a big plus for me, since I was on a limited lunch break.
Overall, I'd only go back if I was hungry, already there, and didn't have a lot of time.
