| - I am a self admitted Pho noob (I pronounced it 'faux' for a while) and general soup lover (liquid food yummm) so take that into consideration before reading this.
That being said....
I am a fan of Pho Little Saigon. Sure the atmosphere leaves lots to be desired (the last time I was there the TV's were off and the manager was at a table watching an Asian comedy TV show on BLAST on his laptop) and the service is average (you pay at the register but they decline to tell you that), but if you are looking for a quick, hot bowl of Pho with all the fix-ins, Little Saigon delivers.
Typically I order the #32 (rare steak and beef ball) and #34 (rare steak, flank and tripe) and both are solid. Tripe is generally scary to eat but it blended well in the huge bowl of noodles, broth, rare beef, mint, sprouts, onions and whatever else they find to put in those bowls. My biggest complaint is that the flank steak is very fatty and it typically takes some time to get rid of the fat before you get to dig in to the soup. I am not sure if the flank is always served that fatty (again, refer to my noob status), but it is a small price to pay for a nice inexpensive meal.
Soups run around $7.50 and there are lunch specials for $5.99 but you need to ask for that menu when you sit down.
