| - This was my first pho experience in Phoenix, and, as you might've guessed by my five-star rating, I wasn't disappointed.
I'll start off with a disclaimer about the location: it's in one of Phoenix's sketchier areas, and I've never not seen a homeless person walking around in the strip mall it's located in. That being said, if you go in the day you should be fine. I can't speak to how ghetto it might get at night.
This isn't one of those Vietnamese places that invests a lot in ambiance. You walk in and usually are greeted by a busy wait staff and plenty of customers. I've never had to wait long for a table though. Compared to places I've been in Tucson, Albuquerque and California, the prices are a steal - a little over $5 for a decent sized bowl of some of the best pho I've ever had. One of the other reviewers praised the broth, and I have to agree - no need to drown it with hoisin and sriracha too much. They don't skimp on garnishings like some of the other places I've been too either. Their spring rolls make an excellent appetizer. If you're not in the mood for pho, feel free to grab one of their banh mi - also decently priced and plenty of bang for your buck.
All in all, a great place, and one that I look forward to returning to.
