| - OVERALL: I'll be back, and probably very soon.
THE GOOD
- The service. It was incredibly speedy (unlike previous pho experiences) and everyone was incredibly friendly. I actually noticed many patrons knew the employees well enough to ask about family and recent trips!
- The broth. So good. While I was too full to finish the massive amount of tasty noodles, I still made sure to drink all my broth!
- The price. For a huge, delicious, satisfying meal and taking home enough for later, $12 wasn't bad at all. I definitely didn't need the appetizer of spring rolls and that would've knocked me down to $8 easy.
THE BAD
- Being new to this restaurant, I walked in a bit aimless. There was no one waiting to greet and seat, but at the same time this isn't self serve. I walked up and asked if I should seat myself and grabbed a menu, but the guy behind the counter acted like that was a bit out of the norm. It was mildly awkward.
- This restaurant is quite casual and *almost* divey, in that each table has its own napkins, spoons, chopsticks, etc. The table I sat at had only 2 napkins left and very little chili paste, but I didn't see anyone moving to restock it anytime soon.
THE UGLY
- Good pho has a bit of a kick to it, and Khai Hoan doesn't disappoint... so when your water runs low or completely out, it's a bit of a bummer. They did refill it eventually, but it took them longer than my mouth wanted.
