This owner/chef had the best Vietnamese restaurant when I lived in Charlotte, NC, hands down, so I spoke to the owner who purchased his Charlotte restaurant as my job was moving me back to Vegas and I had heard he moved here. I went to check it out after going to a few other Pho places (sadly it's not too close to my part of town) and as I expected he now has the best Pho Vietnamese restaurant in Vegas.
He uses a really good cut of pork (and other meats but the pork is my personal favorite) and all the vegetables and other ingredients are extremely fresh. While I do love Pho I am also partial to the salad w/ vermicelli rice noodles, and while I'm at it, do yourself a favor and try the Vietnamese Lomein (it is nothing like greasy Chinese Lomein).
Lastly, the service is very personable, friendly, attentive and fast. Damn I wish it was closer to me but I am certain I will have to make some drives across town to see Ricky and get my fix in once in a while.
