Vietnamese food has always been a big favorite of mine and not all places are the same. These guys definitely have their game face on and are serving some of the tastiest treats that I've had in a long time.
There is nothing like a great Mom and Pop restaurant that serves delicious food and also offers excellent customer service. This is not a high end restaurant and the decor is very simple with basic table and chair dining. No fancy booths or expensive statues or Picasso paintings. Just high quality fresh food for a very affordable price. Nice!
Update 5/2017: Freshly remodeled with very comfortable booths and a very elegant and cozy atmosphere. So relaxing and a big improvement from before. Come over and check it out.
Ordered the XL Combo Special Pho on my first visit. It has all the typical Beef cuts that you would see in similar restaurants including Oxtail, Brisket, Rare slices of Eye of the Round, yummy Tendons (my favorite), Tripe and the famous Viet Metaballs. What makes their Pho so good here is the broth. It has so much more flavor than other places and it made my eating experience so much better.
On my second visit I had to try the Shaking Beef Dish. It comes out on a sizzling plate and the sounds and aroma of the dish gave me goose bumps. "So good" I kept repeated to myself over and over. They actually use Filet Mignon and the texture is so tender and buttery that it practically melts in your mouth.
Got a chance to meet the very friendly owner while eating and he was very concerned that my meal and my level of satisfaction were on point. We talked a little and he told me about how they cook their broth for 12 hours so the flavors have more depth. He said a lot of other restaurants only cook their broth for a short period of time or use the instant Pho powder. What!?
Looking forward to coming back and trying out their whole menu. There are a couple of Catfish dishes that I'm already dreaming about. One of them shows up in a clay pot. There are also several Noodle dishes that are on my list to try as well. They even have fresh Chicken and several other cool ingredients next door at their store.
See ya there around 11:00 for lunch during the weekdays. I'm so lucky to work only a couple of miles away. TOUCHDOWN FOR THE TEAM!
