  • Imagine this Scenario: Drunk Girl: Pho Kim Long! Pho Kim Long! Pho Kim LOOOOOOOOONG PLEASE!!! Cab Driver (language barrier): Me love you long time? *wink wink* Drunk Girl: Yes, me love you long time if you bring me to PHO KIM LONG! FTW!!! To be Continued... Thank goodness, we came here sober because who knows what would have happened if we "attempted" to come to PKL DRUNK in a cab especially with a restaurant name like "Pho Kim Long". :X On Saturday, December 11th, my friend and I came to PKL at 2:45 PM (OPEN 24 HOURS) to nurse our massive hangovers and our growling stomachs. PKL was half filled and we were seated immediately. PKL is only a 5 min drive from the Strip which is about a $8 cab ride. CC's are accepted. F O O D: The menu is quite expensive so you can satisfy your Vietnamese craving for pho, bun, com or your Chinese craving for chow fun, ma po tofu, or various dishes with XO sauce for example. *CHA GIO (Vietnamese Egg Rolls - $6): Meh! I like my cha gio wrapped in rice paper wraps because it creates a crispier and flakier shell. The ones at PKL is wrapped in the standard egg roll wrapper made with flour and water which seems to doesn't maintain its crispness long. The cha gio arrived room temperature and some parts of the wrapper was soggy. The filling pork filling was a bland and the nuoc mam cham (fish sauce) was watered down as it was missing the pungency from the fish sauce and the spiciness from the chilies. *COMBO PHO ($7.95): The PERFECT hangover cure! The pho was flavorful and comforting, but coming from SF it's not the best I've had. Nevertheless, it IS best and most "authentic" pho you will get near the Strip. The rice noodles were tender and al-dente and swimming in a pool of rich and savory beefy broth that wasn't laden with MSG. The rare beef slices and beef brisket were soft and tender, while the beef balls had a nice chewy spring to it. The bean sprouts, basil, jalapeño and lime were fresh and were the perfect compliment to pho adding a nice crunch and freshness. My only gripe is there were no tendons or tripe in the combo nor was there any pho options with them. *FRESH YOUNG COCONUT ($3.50): The SECRET Hangover Cure!!! Coconut water contains all five of the essential electrolytes: calcium, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium and sodium needed for effective rehydration and has 15 times the amount of potassium as most sports drinks. So this is a MUST order along with your pho if you want to effectively nurse your hangover. Coconut water taste a little but like metallic water with a very hint sweetness so you can add sugar to it but you should really drink it a la natural. Make sure to eat the creamy flesh of the coconut because it improves insulin secretion and utilization of blood glucose. S E R V I C E: The staff is incredibly nice, attentive and fast which is rarity for Asian restaurants. Our food came out within 5 minutes which is typical of most pho restaurants and the manager (?) checked on us numerous times to make sure everything was ok. A M B I A N C E / D É C O R: Dark rich woods, granite tables, various Vietnamese and Chinese shrines, and elaborate fish tanks with exotic fishes create a very nice and upscale environment. There are over 25 tables that are well-spaced out, so you don't have to worry about rubbing elbows with your neighbor. With the festivities of drunken debauchery that occurred this weekend and the aforementioned scenario in my head, why do I feel like it WILL happen on my next trip to Vegas? *covers eyes*
