So you're telling me there is a pho influenced sandwich? How do you combine this post drunk elixir with a sandwich? This is when I had to investigate...
Asian fusion has been pretty popular lately with such restaurants like Bachi burger and KoMex really making this new food fad popular. Buddha Belly does make it's mark with me but probably not as big as the two mentioned above.
Service: I was greeted by a buff asian guy who was pretty nice. I ordered sparkling water and by courtesy offered me a cup filled with ice for it.
Food: The sandwich is presented with all the typical things you'd find with your pho. It was a medium rare sirloin with jalapenos, cilantro and sprouts accompanied by a pho broth your "Au Jus" to dip in. I found that this not only warmed up the meat in the sandwich but also made the bread absorb the broth as well so you'd essential be eating and having soup at the same time! (i call it sponge sandwiches).
Overall: The pho dip was definitely something very different and tasted very similar to a hot bowl of pho. I'd be careful not to eat here too often or else you might find yourself having a buddha belly.
