| - Passable at best, in my opinion.
The restaurant space itself is lovely. It has nice big booths, good lighting, and it's nicely decorated. For two of us to have tea (which was lovely), a bowl of pho each, and a salad roll appetizer (which was good) our bill came to $45.
The restaurant was not busy at 6 pm, but it took nearly half hour for our meals to arrive at the table. Our waiter must have had a cold, as he sniffled, snorted, and frequently wiped his runny nose on his upper sleeve while passing by our table.
The Special Phoenix Pho was good (but was much better AFTER I added chili oil, hoisin, and red pepper paste - those are all available in ketchup/mustard bottles if you ask for them). The Satay Beef Pho was spicy, but it lacked any other real flavor.
In my opinion, the food and service was 3* at maximum. Given the other nearby options downtown I don't plan to return to this restaurant again.
