  • Wow, this is actually the second place in Phoenix where I had surprisingly solid Vietnamese food in the past few months. That isn't such a monumental discovery for anyone who actually lives in Phoenix, but for the hopeless San Francisco food snob that I am, it does please me to have choice in the midst of the sometimes scalding weather here. Funny thing is that they have "No Pho" signs on the wall, so don't even think about asking for it here. No, they are focused on noodle bowls, rice plates and banh mis, and yes, they're located in a strip mall next to Naked BBQ. Where else would they be in North Phoenix? I came with a couple of colleagues who seemed to know what to order. One ordered the $8 Grilled Pork Noodle Salad Bowl which looked good enough for me to copy. It was a good-size bowl with plenty of rice vermicelli noodles, bean sprouts, sliced cucumbers, pickled carrots, mint leaves, and of course, lettuce. It was topped with chopped scallions, crushed peanuts, and a sweet rice vinaigrette. You get two sides per order, so I went with the Deep-Fried Vegetable Egg Roll which was placed on top of the bowl (photo: http://bit.ly/2fbznV5). And then the Spring Roll stuffed with pork, shrimp, noodles, and vegetables (photo: http://bit.ly/2fPMhcL). It was hearty, fresh, crunchy when it was supposed to be, and certainly at the same level of similar bowls I would find back in the Bay Area with far less of a queue at the lunch hour. My other colleague went with the Grilled Shrimp Salad without the noodles but with plenty of bean sprouts, and she assured me she didn't miss the noodles (photo: http://bit.ly/2gancx3). I needed some libation in that sticky climate, so I had a $3.50 Vietnamese Iced Coffee with condensed milk which basically hit the spot (photo: http://bit.ly/2gclDO4), even though I had plenty of caffeine in my system from all the meetings in the morning. Nice to know there are options beyond the IHOP and the Tilted Kilt Pub in Phoenix. FOOD - 4 stars...fresh, abundant takes on Vietnamese standards...but please, no pho AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...gee, it's a strip mall...what do you expect?...it's clean though SERVICE - 3 stars...nothing to write home about but they accommodate special orders TOTAL - 4 stars...surprising what you can find in a strip mall
