| - Pho Huong has a vast selection of Vietnamese dishes on their menu which I can appreciate because they offer an array of soup, noodle, and rice dishes.
My previous visit (lunch) I ordered the com tam suon bi cha (broken rice w/ grilled pork chops, shredded pork, and fried egg on top) which I highly recommend.
During my most recent visit (dinner), I ordered the vermicelli bowl w/ grilled pork, crispy spring rolls, and shrimp sugarcane. The best part about the dish was the shrimp sugarcane, but I thought the dish itself lacked overall execution compared to the com tam I had. The fish sauce portion was meager (I had to ask for more) and tasted a bit bland and watered down. The grilled pork was a bit dry and the spring rolls tasted like they were sitting in a heat lamp for awhile. The dish was warm, but not freshly made.
The bubble tea here is decent, but some taste more authentic than others. I preferred the passion fruit over the taro because the distinct flavor of passion fruit was present while the taro only resembled a hint of its true taste and gave off more of a creamy, taro ice cream/milkshake texture and consistency.
Service is a bit slow, cold, and indifferent.
Tip: Go for lunch rather than dinner. You have a better chance of scoring freshly prepared dishes and an overall better dining experience.
I have yet to try the pho. Perhaps, I will try it next time I'm in town.
