| - As the restaurant that we had intended to go to was closed for the day, my lunch posse wound up here. With a name like Mr. Pho, the was only one choice. Our table ended up with two house specials, a satay pho, and a vermicelli bowl.
As my pho arrived, I ate with my eyes and was looking forward (pun entirely intended) to diving in. But as the first taste of soup hit my lips, I was immediately disappointed. Lacking in complexity and flavour, I would best describe the soup as single dimensional; the addition of sriracha and hoisin bringing it to two. The texture of the noodles was "just done" with some obvious bite to it, but not enough to be unpleasurable. Yet credit must be given where credit is due, and so my compliments on the tripe and tendon which were cooked with authority, yielding easily with every bite.
With the smattering of positive reviews, coupled with my experience herein described, and with the plethora of alternatives in the area, I have yet to decide if I will return.
