| - I moved so I haven't been there recently. I heard they recently moved too. I'm planning a trip out there soon because I miss their pho thai bowls, Bánh mì sandwiches, and thai teas. Can't wait!
UPDATE: I went there on Friday 5/5/17 and had a very disappointing and negative experience. My roomate and I were in the area. So, we stopped by for an early dinner around 5pm. The place was completely empty. We walk in and sit ourselves in a booth. After a few minutes, a waitress comes out and comes by to our table to take our orders. We both order two Thai iced teas and some appetizers: fried calamari, and an order or spring rolls, which we shared. The calamari were very different than I'm used to at any other restaurant. But, not bad. The disappointing and strange part is that they were served with a side of shrimp cocktail sauce (unoriginal). We were both starving at that point, so we both scarfed down the appetizers and waited for our dinner entrees. I ordered a bowl of Pho soup (regular size #6) and my roomate ordered a chicken curry dish. I guess I should have paid attention that my pho was not steaming hot as it normally is served. But, like I said before, we were starving. Right after our dinner we both started to feel overly full. Which is somewhat normal after eating a bowl of pho. But the strange part is that after we got home, I noticed that my stomach felt upset even 4 hrs after. I took some Pepto to soothe my stomach upset. A little while later, I would spend the rest of the night and part of the next morning vomiting the entire contents of my stomach. Which was everything I had for dinner. I had a bad case of food poisoning! I had not felt that sick and horrible after eating anywhere in years. As far as I can recall, I had only had food poisoning once before. And the symptoms were pretty similar. Either the cook or the kitchen is operating under unhealthy sanitary conditions, or the soup was not cooked to proper temperature to prevent someone from getting sick. Either way, I can no longer recommend this restaurant to anyone. Sad. Because I had been there several times before without incident.
BEWARE: If you have the pho soup here, make sure it's piping hot! And still, eat at your own risk. Sorry Victor. Maybe it is just the cook. Either way, heads up on checking that the kitchen is operating to proper food handling/preparation standards. I'm sorry I had to give you a bad review. I just don't want anyone else getting as sick as I did.
