Every so often, I'll get a craving for pho. Every so often, I'll pop into Xe Lua.
I feel pretty safe ordering from here. As in, I am relatively certain whatever I order will be good. Having had various combinations of noodles and soups, I can say that there hasn't been a time (that I can remember) where I've been left with a frown in my tummy.
Though they once did forget an order of fried tofu, but they were great about it. Surly service overall but I prefer the challenge of hunting the wait staff down.
For what it is, Xe Lua is a solid a-ok.
