| - with the recent closing of Pho 777, there is a void of Vietnamese joints in the southwest area near blue diamond. yes, there is Pho Hoang, but i guess what i mean is there is void of decent Vietnamese joints in the southwest area. one day, after passing by this shopping center on my way to work, i noticed a this new pho restaurant opening. i couldn't wait when i saw a lit boba sign in the window. so last monday, my favorite dining companion (actually now my fiancee) decided to check out the restaurant, but as we walked through the UNLOCKED door, our hungry stomachs were punched when we found out that they were not opening until the next day on 11/4. Well, I didn't make it to the grand opening, but i made it there today along with two curious coworkers. as soon as we walked it, we noticed at how busy it was. also, we noticed that you can peer into the kitchen whenever you want because there is no wall. its a gigantic window. its like going to the giant aquarium at the silverton lodge but instead of fish and and fake-topless mermaids, you see a bunch of people cooking and preparing your meals. no shady business with your food here.
the menu was quite simple and not as extensive as other Vietnamese restaurants, but they had your typical pho dishes ~$7, my favorite beef stew dish, vermicelli dishes, and rice dishes, too. the only way to eat pho is to get the #1, which consisted of thin slippery rice noodles, thin slices of rare steak, well-done flank, extra fatty briskets, gooey gelatin soft tendon, and strings of tripe in a flavorful broth that hummed of star anise. i love how not only do you have the typical hoisin, and red chili sauce, but they also give you the crunchy and oily red pepper to add some heat and flavorful zing to my pho. im disappointed but they didnt have the option to get a bigger pho bowl, but my tummy was warm and full after slurping up this entire soup bowl. service still seems to be learning the ropes. they did forget our water and utensils. i also have to add one more thing, when i ordered for Vietnamese iced coffee on the menu, i was told that they didnt have any today, but they did have tea. WHAT???? that's equivalent to going to the golden arches, and not able to order and cold and sugary icey coca-cola to wash my big mac down. above all....minus the coffee and the service, this restaurant has a lot going for it, compared to the earlier mentioned pho houses on this side of town, my ass will be plopped here a lot more often after that tasty bowl of pho
