| - I did some yelp-search for some amazing pho places in the east valley, and really didn't have a ton of options, so I picked this nearby 4 star place.
Now, as I've said before, I am a pho snob. I just am. I have come to accept it and embrace it. Khai Hoan is somewhere between 2.5 and 3 stars for me, and because I'm a generous person, I am delving out a 3 star review.
Pros:
* The service is fast.
* The staff is really friendly
* They offer a bunch of varieties of pho an pack the veggie pho with lots of broccoli and bok
Cons:
* It's not located in the best area of Tempe
* The broth wasn't extremely flavorful (definitely beef based)
* You get a small portion for the price of the pho. $7.50 for what would be considered a small bowl of ho anywhere else I have been.
Ok, last thing, which was really, really...odd...the bathroom is located behind the kitchen. Wait, let me rephrase, through the kitchen, then behind the kitchen. Wait, let me try that again...you have to walk through the kitchen while the cooks are back there cutting up fish and other random food items in order to reach the bathroom. It feels...well...unsanitary and quite awkward to traipse through the tiny kitchen, trying to avoid running into the person with the huge knife, while food is being prepared. See? Odd, right?
