| - First off, I am not a Pho expert, so am reluctant to go higher than a 4. With that in mind, we really liked the dishes we had at Pho Ao Sen. My wife and I share #15 (a combination pho, listed as the house favorite, with thin rice noodles) and #22 ((Bun Bo Hue - the spicy dish with pork blood pieces and egg noodles). I liked them both a lot, though I tended to favor the spicy dish. My wife preferred the thinner rice noodles. We both had medium sizes (as priced on the menu) and it was plenty to fill us for dinner. We also had a dish of the chicken wings appetizer, which had chilies on it, but were far more sweet than spicy.
My son had the Hai Nan Chicken Rice, because the Singapore dish of this same name is his all time favorite. The dish was on the small side, compared to the pho; the chicken was nothing special (though many in Singapore rate this dish based on how juicy the chicken is); but he really liked the spices in the rice, which was quite different from Singapore/Malaysia.
The place has a pleasant, modern, sit down restaurant atmosphere. Employees were all Vietnamese the night we were there, and they were all very attentive. I had a restaurant.com coupon, but I would probably come back here again even without one.
