| - I went to pick up food today after work. I'm quite sick, so there's nothing better than a nice bowl of soup and some fresh spring rolls. Mm.
I walked in, not busy, but clean and very prompt service. They don't have the sandwiches on the menu which makes me sad, because those are my favorite. Maybe I should have asked. But I'm in a hurry and I need soup damn it! The lady at the front is very nice and friendly. She was so surprised I tipped her 6 bucks. I guess people are stingy on this side of town. Smh.
Anyway, on to the food. The spring rolls are super good and fresh. The pork inside is really thick and the flavor really comes through. Not packed as tightly as others, but really. Who cares. They're great.
Next, the fried tofu. Extremely hot. Perfectly fried. The taste by themselves is actually delicous. The sauce that comes with it, the first thing you smell is lemongrass(?) and pepper. It's tangy but not too much so, and savory and delicious. It comes with a TON of peices of tofu. 20 peices to be exact. It doesn't look like it comes with enough sauce but it was just right for me. You may want to ask for a lil extra if you're a sauce or dip fiend. But it is very potent.
Next. The pho. I got the brisket. The broth was decent. Lacking something, however. Plenty of brisket that melted in your mouth, it had an amazing flavor. Lots of green onions and cilantro just the way I like it. The pho itself, to me, was a solid 3.5...it almost wasn't salty enough? I'll be back again to try the seafood pho. My one true love.
All in all, this place is great and I'll definitely be back seeing as its very convenient to my work and where I hangout. (And no, I'm not a boulder Highway hooker. Rude.)
