"The worse the service, the better the food." Not sure who came up with this rule of thumb for Vietnamese restaurants, but it sums up our dinner tonight pretty well. Pho Tanh's charm is in its authenticity. It's as if the entire restaurant-from the employees, to the chopstick caddy on the table, to the pennywart juice in the soda fountain-was cut and pasted from Vietnam to Phoenix. It seems like a lot of other people have discovered it as well, because it was packed tonight with a mix of Vietnamese and people and miscellaneous others.
All in all, you get a pretty good travel experience for just $10. Go at least once for the cool experience and good food!
