pho east open in the location that use to be pho house. pho house moved across the street. From the outside and inside, its probably the best looking pho restaurant in east chinatown. that is where it all goes down south. Tea is not free, i was wondering why they didn't bring me tea when i first arrived. chopsticks, spoons, tissue was not readily available like the other restaurants where it is so convenient just to grab your own. pho noodles was only 1 size... me and the kids ate the same size... i wanted extra large, they wanted small, we both got large... how was the pho? nothing really special, especially not special enough to make me pay for tea... no beef balls in the beef noodle special. overall disappointed. Staff was friendly, but with so many pho places offering more, if they don't change, they will struggle because the locals will not come.
