| - I discovered Pho about 4 years ago, and from that moment forward I knew that it would be one of those dishes that you wake in the middle of the night craving.
The pho here is fairly basic, and although it gets the job done, it doesn't really stand up to most others I've had. The broth is a little light, and I often have trouble getting everything in it that I want due to the fact that the servers and counter workers don't really understand what I want if it's not already on the menu. They pretty much rely on me pointing to a picture or a number, but if you want something extra or a substitution forget about it unless you speak vietnamese.
The menu is also basic, and there are not many soup options other than pho, which is fine because the real star here are the banh mi sandwiches, which they do exceptionally well, with a great toasted bread and they are one of the few places I have found that have the option of the shredded pork skin sandwich. Plus you can't beat the price...I get this as my to go school lunch many days to take to campus. Pork skin banh mi and a can of coke is $4.25.
I don't think this place would survive very long on Spring Mountain, but tucked away in the Vonn's shopping center, and in proximity to UNLV this place will continue to be my go to spot for a great cheap sack lunch, but I would probably make the trip to Chinatown if I wanted Pho.
