| - Thought we give this place a try when we saw a billboard while on the fwy and due to it being known on food network (per billboard). Cant go wrong, right? There wasn't a whole lot of people (4 tables filled), good is we will get our seats and food quicker!
When we first saw the menu, all our eyes enlarged and almost wanted to walk out of there! I have never seen pho (off the strip) SO costly before. I mean unless your eating inside a fancy upscaled Bellagio hotel venue, almost $15 for pho is ALOT. (minus 1-star)
With the 100F+ weather and hungry guys at our table, they don't want to find another place. So my other thought was, this better be good and worth it. Well, its not anywhere that you can find an oxtail pho as most have the traditional way, I do have to say this was some darn good soup! My husband loves soup and usually drink most of it, but rarely does he finish out the bowl. He sure did here. The lady who served us (i think she is the owner) was very proud of her soup and even said, "glad you like our soup!" He responded, I always drink the soup because I love soup. She was confidence to respond, "Well I think its just here that you finish all the soup otherwise there is something wrong with your taste buds because we have the best soup." The noodles are the thicker/wider ones than the traditional thin ones as well but not too big of a deal.
I ordered a vermicelli noodle (aka Bun) with egg rolls and grilled beef. This I can say, it was meh. Not bad but not the greatest. This I wouldn't pay again for as again its costly. (minus 1-star)
At first I have to say, the lady seemed very rude and rushy which I didn't like. Give and take I do have to say she was the only one working at that time. Attitude of the typical Asian but not like she was mad because throughout the meal, she talked more and had a good sense of humor, i guess. Again, knowing my husbands motto who believes in quality/flavor vs quantity with lower prices, he said he will come back just for the oxtail pho soup.
Overall, if we were to come back, just go for their soup or shall I say oxtail soup which is different here and not anywhere else I know of has it. So for this, it may be worth it. Everything else, too expensive and you can get anywhere else.
