| - Soooo....we've been avoiding this restaurant because of my previous review. They advertise boba smoothies and they didn't have it. My uncle likes the place and keeps asking me if we've tried it. We finally did last night. To give them the benefit of the doubt, I wasn't even going to order a boba drink. Then I said, hey why not, maybe they've changed. Lo and behold, they don't have it! The waitress said "we ran out." Seriously, if I went there when the restaurant opens, are they going to have it? Why is it that whenever I go to Sweethearts Donuts, they ALWAYS have boba on hand? Anyway, the food. Mediocre...bland pho broth. Anyone who thinks this is good pho has never tried really good pho. We used to live in Northern Virginia where there is a large population of Vietnamese people and therefore plenty of Vietnamese restaurants so we have tried many different pho recipes, and my husband has been to Vietnam and has tried pho there. The pho at Saigon Pearl is lackluster. I would rather drive to Viet Kitchen, which has never disappointed us. Even if Saigon Pearl is much closer to where we live, it's not enough of a reason for me to go back.
