The place just opened and it is sparsely laid out and not a place that will impress you with it's decor (or lack of it). The sign at the counter said cash only, but there was a Visa/MasterCard sign on the register. The woman at the counter was very friendly, yet didn't get the impression she spoke much English so figured since I had cash I wouldn't try paying by card.
Good Friday meant we were going meatless. Som was bummed that he couldn't get the rare beef, but since he wasn't buying he didn't really have a say.
Ordered up two seafood soups and sat down at one of the tables. A very pleasant man came from the kitchen to confirm our orders and off he went....presumably to make our order. The woman returned with some glasses of water and came back again minutes later with plates of bean sprouts, cilantro, sliced jalapeƱo, and lime wedges. Once last trip brought each of them bringing HUGE bowls of soup.
As I mentioned earlier, this was my first bowl of pho, so don't have anything to measure it against. However, I munched down everything in that bowl then slurped up all the broth that was left. Good stuff!
Thought the it was going to be $7.99 a bowl, yet the bill rang up as $6.99 a piece. Didn't want to haggle, so I let it go? :)
Sure the hard core pho foodies could weigh in with more educated reviews, but I enjoyed my first foray into pho. The food was tasty, but doubt the interior is going to impress anyone. The people were very sweet and I wish the best for them.
Go check it out!
