| - Perhaps I'm a little jaded by being in L.A. so long. I judge a place by how crowded it is. My favorite Pho spot on sunset is ALWAYS crowded. I arrived at Que Huong after passing several Pho spots to find it, EMPTY. I figured I came after the lunch rush.
I ordered the Pho Tai (beef rare steak pho noodle soup) and the fresh summer roll with shrimp and pork. The summer roll was the bomb, and the peanut sauce it came with was akin to crack. One bite and I couldn't stop myself. . . well I stopped myself from licking the bowl, but that was a lot of self restraint. There was a hint of coconut which set off the awesome little dish. I posted a picture, unfortunately I couldn't stop myself from eating one of the little buggers before I snapped a photo. (note to self: you may get strange looks for being the only person in the restaurant and taking pictures of your food before you eat) Only in vegas? But I have to say the ingredients, shrimp and lemongrass were super fresh.
The pho tai came out and the bowl was huge! Tons of noodles too which I dig. But alas I must come to the point why I gave it 4 stars. There wasn't a lot of meat, which is a bummer. But more of a bummer was there there was NO ambiance to this place. I could have felt a little less weird if there were music, a tv, any distraction besides being the only person, inhaling peanut sauce, and taking pictures of my food. Ok, maybe I'm a little weird but someone should bring these folks a boom box. Or might I suggest bringing your own Mp3 speakers and making a party?
All in all, good pho, awesome summer rolls, I will come back when the pho craving returns and I'm in vegas.
Oh and by the way, the total for the summer rolls, a hot tea, and the pho tai. $10.45!!! Maybe I should have given it a 5th star.
