| - I wanted to try this place out ever since I read Yelp's "New Business Openings in Las Vegas" section. I already had lunch though at the restaurant next door, but I decided to just pop on in and order some Pho to go. The staff here was very friendly and just real welcoming even though I wasn't sticking around to dine there. Offered me a drink while I waited too.
From my vantage point sitting in the waiting area which is partitioned off, I can see the dining area is fairly large and spacious with marble tabletops and wicker chairs that either seats 4 or tables that seat 6. The overhead lighting caught my eye, such fancy looking chandeliers. It just sets the tone of a nicer dining experience here. At the entrance you can see your Pho being prepared and cooked from their open exhibition style kitchen area.
My order didn't take long at all, was packed carefully and survived the 20 minute ride back home. I ordered the Rau Cai Pho (Veggie Tofu Beef Noodle soup) . The beef broth had a nice seasoned taste, rice noodles were real good. Not mushy (cooked to order) , had chunks of broccoli, cauliflower and slices of carrots, the toppings, green onions, crunchy bean sprouts and the basil leaves were real fragrant. Love the tofu that was fried golden brown and didn't get soggy when soaked in the broth. Pho was perfect comfort food! I was happy with it. Serving was plenty for one and prices are pretty reasonable. Prices range from $6 - $9.
From taking a quick glance at the menu I also saw they have a kids meal and "Create Your Own Bowl", appetizers, and some Chef's Specials you can choose from. The Bun Rieu Oc (Crab noodle soup) crab meat, tofu & Escargot in Tomato soup w/Vermicelli sounds delicious! They also have a section of different Boba and flavored teas and slush ice drinks. The host who took my order said they're pretty popular and guests sometimes come in late night just to have that. Most definitely will be back for more!
FYI - Bring Cash!! There is a $20 minimum to use debit and credit cards!
