| - This is my third time here and was introduced to this place by some Vietnamese buddies if mine. Enjoyed the pho, but still think Pho 87 edges then out, nevertheless, above average. I even got one of my "white boy" co-worker hooked on pho here. He was recovering from throat surgery and needed something easy going. He always begs me to get pho each time I see him. #awesomeness.
Moreover, what sets this place apart from other pho joints is that it offers a lot more of a variety in their menu, not too mention they are more of a quality vs. speed eatery. They appear to put a lot more love into their dishes compared to fast food, "you eat and go home," pho spots.
However, it was kinda disappointing to learn that there their bun bo hue does not include pigs blood. To most, this is a plus, but I'm that type of dude that appreciates the goods many tend shy away from. The waiter explained that it's a health code violation to serve it. Interesting to know. Especially, since their are tons of "violators" out there if this is true.
Nevertheless, the bun bo hue was very tasty and I almost forgot that there was no cubed pigs blood. It didn't come with the veggies however, but I guess since I was in a rush, I didn't stress it too much. I also added a combo banh mi to go, but never got to savor it since I gave it to a hungry monster that kept nagging me...she knows who she is.
Caution, one of the waitresses speaks very little english, not to turn you off, but she is very nice.
