| - The set-up of the restaurant is not so great. The front door doesn't have a second door so anyone sitting near the door was freezing. I had asked the waitress to move me to a table further away from the door since it was so cold and the place was relatively empty. She sat me down and said, "Oh, sorry for the weather." Um...k?
I had the pho last night. It's actually pretty decent tasting, almost on par with the popular Saigon Noodles on the westside. However, the pho came in this ridiculous bowl that would make it difficult for anyone who really loves to eat the noodles with the broth, to eat both together. My dining companion's dish also came in a ridiculous bowl that didn't really work for her vermicelli noodles. The waitress wasn't that great; she forgot to bring me an actual spoon to use and left me with a ladle. She also forgot to bring out the condiments (bean sprouts, basil, lime, jalepenos). When I asked for it, she gave me a weird look and said, "Oh yea... I'll go get that for you."
All in all, the pho was decent and I'd probably come back for it. The service wasn't great and the food is overpriced, but I guess it has to be that way since it pays high rent on State Street. I'd still be more likely to go to Saigon Noodles for pho and spring rolls over this place though.
