| - This has been bookmarked for a while because I am on a hot search for the BEST PHO in PHOenix. I was finally on the Chandler side of life over the weekend, so I excitedly stopped into Saigon Pho to get a take out order of Veggie Pho.
The place was PACKED when I arrived, which I took as a great sign. I literally had to carefully pick my way through the packed tables to get to the back of the restaurant to place an order.
I was never greeted or acknowledged, but stood there awkwardly for a few minutes until I finally stopped someone and asked if I could place an order to go. I ordered vegetable pho and waited.
I waited by the scary lobster tank in the back that I am positive Chef Ramsay would find appalling. I know it made me queasy quite a few times.
I was not given any utensils with my to go order, so again I had to wait another awkward few minutes to finally flag someone down to get chopsticks (seriously, who can eat pho without chopsticks, am I right?)
When I arrived home with my long awaited taste of pho...I was disappointed. It was 80% broth, 10 % noodles, 5% vegetables (literally 4 pieces of broccoli and two slices of carrot) and 5% sprouts, onions,basil. I was still hungry after I finished all five bites of my meal and had to scrounge around my house to find something else to eat.
Will not be back, but glad I can say I tried another place...the search for the best PHO in the valley is still on!
