Originally, we wanted to eat some Thai Style Noodle House. To our dismay, they were closing in 10 minutes when we arrived. So, off we trecked to the next Asian restaurant and landed in Pho Kim Long.
One thing about this place is that it's open 24 hours a day and I was informed that they are the only pho place that has these hours. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It was my bf, and two of our friends who shared this experience with us. I never really know what to order from here so I had our friend order for me.
When the bowl came my way, I was very excited as I'd never had it before. I believe it was pho with some kind of beef balls. There were other meats in there but I forgot to ask what type it was. The broth was good without the extra sauces that people normally put in there. When adding the bean sprouts, mint, and jalapeno's the kick it gives is a whirlwind of pleasures in your tongue.
My boyfriend ordered the fried rice. The color was somewhat orangey-yellow. We've never had anything like it. Per our friend, the way it's made is the cook adds just the yolk to give it that sunshine color. It's definitely different but I can't say I'd order it for myself in the future. The other dish we had was a spicy tofu. That was really addicting. Normally, tofu doesn't blend well with anything because of how bland it is. But, they added the right amount of spice to give it a pleasing taste.
The atmosphere of the whole restaurant was very relaxed. Most people come here to sober up after a wild night at a club or bar. It only makes sense.
