With competition at a bare zero, Pho Avina provides that quick pho fix that is almost as necessary as heroin is to an addict. The soup definitely has some characteristics but ultimately lacks any oomph. The meat portions are on the chintzy side and the spring rolls are a pass. The service is above standard and there definitely is a family feel.
Is it worth visiting? Carbon footprint-wise absolutely. But is it really enough to merely alleviate that craving or does it need to blow you away like it was your first time every time?
