| - Now before I go on with my review, I am originally from Northern California which is a Vietnam mecca (San Jose, CA), therefore there are pho joints on every corner. I've been to the good, the bad, and the ugly places, Pho Da Lat was somewhere in the middle. Not too bad, but OK.
I was craving some good Pho and my brother who has been living here for 9 years recommended this Pho place in town, Pho Da Lat. He praises this spot and I somewhat trust his intuition, sort of. So I gave it a try!
First off, they sell bubble drinks here (aka boba, tapioca drinks) and they were very good. You have a list of flavors to choose from and I tried their mango boba drink and it was delicious, now onto the actual Pho....
The broth, which is the main pull to my love for Pho was actually a little bland and not flavorful. Honestly, this is the foundation to a great Pho, you have a good broth, all else will be excellent! The broth was okay, nothing special. Also I didn't get receive much beef, it was actually quite sparse. My mother ordered a seafood Pho and she only had like 3 or four shrimps in hers, NOTHING. I will give them props for the spring rolls which were pretty good, I strongly recommend those if you try this place. The service was VERY good, the server was very friendly, helpful and patient! The restaurant itself was very clean and professional looking. I will go back, if my brother invites me again, lol.
