| - Pho KC (oh how those Vietnamese love their inappropriate wordplay) is a brand new restaurant at the time of this review (October 2017). It's always nice to have more places opening up in such a bland area, although I'm certain we probably should have waited a few months before giving them a try.
We both ordered a couple of eggrolls and Thai teas. The eggrolls were decent, while the Thai tea, which took forever because they had to cook the boba, was just okay. I ordered a plate of shaken beef, which included rice and an egg that I could mix at my own will. My girlfriend's plate included noodles, veggies, and both beef and chicken (sans the shrimp).
My dish, which the server said was one of their more popular choices, was excellent. Beef was well seasoned and great quality. Everything meshed well together. My girlfriend, on the other hand, immediately noticed that the chicken was pink and obviously undercooked. Not good. You get a bit of wiggle room with beef, but definitely not with chicken. It was one of the few instances where we had to point it out to the server. Not to kick up a fuss, but just so they're aware for future consistency purposes.
The server apologized and gave us an extra percentage off of our meal. Apparently, since my dish was prepared first, she took the blame for rushing the cook to hurry and finish hers so that there wouldn't be a long gap between servings - a common problem that I've noted in other reviews of similar places.
Overall, the place does have potential, but I think if we return, we'll let some time lapse in order to allow them to iron out their wrinkles.
