I think I found a new favorite pho place, and bonus-it's really close to work! I've read about Maxim for some time and I finally found myself with an opportunity to try it a few weeks back. I've probably been back three times and I just cannot get past pho tai despite my going in with the idea of trying something new.
The broth is wonderfully complex and they give you a good assortment of fresh herbs for additional punch. Prices are great and the family that runs the place is very friendly.
