Yes, I'm indeed a fan-best pho so far in Phoenix. Yes, it's over 100 outside, but pho has a special place in my heart/stomach (and it seemed very popular with the other diners as well).
I went this afternoon with three of my buddies and was lucky enough to sample a number of dishes. First, I should say this place was VERY busy even at 11:30 on a Sunday. The spring rolls and egg rolls were great, as was my pho tai and my buddy's lemongrass chicken.
Service was a little slow but really-this place was PACKED. Mostly with Asian people, a good sign.
I never dined at Pho Bang, but I will certainly return to this restaurant as it's hands down the best Vietnamese spot I've tried in the Valley.
