| - My friends were yearning for Pho, and so was I. He said this place was the best and always comes here whenever he visited Las Vegas. But wait, this place isn't even the highest rated Pho place on Yelp! Hmm, lets see...
I ordered the #10, which was Pho with pretty much everything: rare steak, brisket, tendon, tripe, and flank, and also ordered an Iced French Filtered Coffee with condensed milk.
First things first, I have to taste the broth, and it was good. It had a nice clean taste, but it lacked the fragrance probably due to the lack of spices and herbs. I enjoyed all the meat, especially the tendon as they were big slices rather than small bite-size pieces I'm used to. The brisket was tender and not as fatty, and the tripe was tender too. They give you a good amount of rare steak, and it wasn't the freshest, but still all right. The servers were nice enough to give us an extra side bowl of hot broth to cook the rare steak. I particularly liked the noodles as it was thin, soft, and soaked the broth well. I was looking for the fish sauce, but it wasn't on the table! Whaaat? A Vietnamese restaurant without fish sauce? That's blasphemous! I asked the server, and it was stored on the fridge. That was close! I was ready to give this a 1-star if it didn't have any.
For six people, they definitely didn't give us enough bean sprouts and basil. I can toss in the entire plate, which I did plus some more because a couple of my friends are against bean sprouts and basil.
I waited and waited for the coffee to filter through into the cup, and when I took off the filter, it was barely half full... Plus, the bottom had the condensed milk! Uhhhh, this is not enough, especially when I'm running on fumes. When I poured the coffee into the ice, it was thick! I had mostly condensed milk with bit of extra strong tasting coffee. You failed, sorry.
The service was good. There was an army of people just standing there waiting to serve! They were attentive, and refilled our water and brought whatever we needed in a timely manner. Also, the food came out quick.
Overall, that coffee was a complete failure, but I did enjoy the pho. You receive a good amount of meat and a decent size bowl of Pho. My favorite was the tendons, and the thin noodles make for easy eating and slurping. The broth was light and clean, but lacked fragrance. Would I come back here on my next visit? Eh, maybe. Probably not. :)
