| - First off, let me tell you that I make awesome bun bo hue. I make it like the lady in Vietnam that Anthony Bourdain raves about. So when I say the bun bo hue here is pretty good, then it is!
I ordered the bun bo hue, pho with rare and beef balls, shrimp fresh rolls, fried spring rolls and fruit smoothies: durian, sour sop and coconut.
Bun bo hue was generous and flavourful, the noodles were thin and a tad soft, I like mine thicc with a bit of bite to it, the broth had depth which takes a while to build without the aid of msg.
On a side note, my husband ordered bun bo hue as well, his came out luke warm while mine was boiling hot. Not sure what THAT was about.
Pho was delicious with flavour and depth, a litttle greasier than most and the beef balls had bits of tendon and gristle in it which I didn't like but some people do.
Shrimp rolls didn't have much shrimp to it but had lots of mint and other greens.
Fried spring rolls were crisp, not greasy but a bit bland and didn't come with a dipping sauce.
Smoothies were great! Smooth and creamy and full of the fruit flavour.
Best part was afterwards I didn't die of thirst which means they don't use tons of msg.
Service was quick and efficient. I would go back.
