Good thing I didn't review after my first visit...this time they took my order quickly (last time I was forgotten, apparently) and I barely had time to read a few pages of a book on my phone.
Stuck with my usual pho tai--surprisingly good broth. Hearty, beefy, subtle, and the noodles were just right. The meat was a bit thicker than I prefer. The limes were juicy, but the sprouts and basil appeared to have been in a skirmish and both lost. Bruised and limp, they did their inadequate best.
I do wish pho places would give an option for different bowl sizes.
Vietnam Grille and Lang Van have more aesthetically pleasing interiors. Lang Van has a selection of wines. Both have attentive staff.
I should mention that I went to Pho Hoa yesterday only because Lang Van turned out to be closed on Mondays (which I never saw mentioned on their website).
