| - I came here with my boyfriend after a day at Carowinds and was pleasantly surprised by how good this place was. Usually I pick the pho restaurants we go to but he suggested this one, and I would most definitely come here again. It's located in a nice little shopping complex on the second story.
The restaurant itself has quite a few tables but it was pretty full because Saturday night. However, we were seated quickly and given menus. You can get pho in 4 different sizes, which I LOVED. There's a big bowl, a just right bowl, a small bowl, and a bowl for kids (I assumed). Extra points for that. Price points are pretty reasonable for the sizes as well. I ordered a small bowl of pho (their most popular combo of meats) and my boyfriend got the biggest pho with flank and rare eyeround with no onions and cilantro. I was sick earlier during the day and I was able to keep my food down, which was nice.
The broth was very light and clear which means that they boiled it for a long time. It was really flavorful and I slurped up pretty much every single drop. I also liked that they had lime wedges and not lemon ones (and they were very generous with their lime, bean sprouts and basil). Overall, very delicious. Service was also very good! Water glasses were constantly checked and everyone seemed very nice.
Complaints: as my boyfriend was signing the check, I saw a sizable black bug on the ground. And the sanitation score was only 90. I mean, being Asian, I'm not tooooo picky about that... but the bug was honestly pretty gross. Yep.
