| - A whole bunch of years ago, a man brought me to Pho Bang on a 'friend date'. It was my first experience with Vietnamese food - and I was hooked! on the food, not on him.
Countless visits to Pho Bang, and just as many to the newer, larger, cleaner incarnation - Pho Thanh!
While my standby has been an order of spring rolls, a bowl of pho and a cafe sua da (sweetened iced coffee), I've been all over the menu. The bun bowls, the specialty plates, all the appetizers, the banh mi (sandwiches). And I have been happy every visit.
I've had men bring me here on first, or at least early dates - as a litmus test for their appreciation of ethnic dives.
I've met dear friends here for catch-up on life meals.
I've come many times with my former neighbor or my roommate(s) - because when the craving hits, it seems to hit everyone at once.
When I start to feel a cold coming on, I think pho is a better medicine than chicken noodle soup!
I love this place!
