Well, on first impressions, it was alright. It was a tad bit warm in the restaurant, but I find that to be the norm in Asians restaurants (trying to save money and all). I ordered the pho dac biet, and it was lacking all the delicious meats that come in it. I had rare meat and the bo vien. That is NOT Dac Biet. My husband had the pho tai, and my son had the pho bo vien. There's didn't seem to be missing much, but the pho was served with a side of cilantro, no basil. Um what?! Maybe to the more Americanized crowd that's acceptable, but I made it a point to even let her know I was Vietnamese so she knew not to americanize the bowls. It's common practice here in Arizona because we don't have a large Vietnamese population, they save a few bucks by not using items that a more seasoned Vietnamese eater would notice. The broth tasted flavorful, and hearty. But the dreaded MSG aftertaste came and didn't dissipate for nearly an hour after. What a bummer. I was excited to possibly have found a new pho place to remind me of home.
