So-So!
O.K. It pains me to write this 3 star review because I so wanted to love this place based on it' s previous reviews. My hubby and I went there last week to try it out after I have sworn off Mihn-Anh for their horrible service. You can read my review for them to understand.
We found this cute, clean restaurant which is located in the building attached next to the Hampton Inn on Superior and East 9th in downtown Cleveland. We walked in around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon to find that there were 2 other tables occupied. Rather empty but the weather outside was horrible. Snowing like crazy. We decided to make the 1 hour trek there non the less just so I could try the Pho that many raved about. I got their special P7: Pho Tang Pho and my hubby ordered the C7: Chicken with Lemon Grass and Chili. Our waitress was great. Very nice. I would give them 5 stars for that.
I received my huge bowl of Pho and noticed there were lots of good looking cuts of meat in it. I must say the cuts of meat were better than any other Pho places around. I like the fact that it had tripe in it and it was thoroughly cleaned. I however was disappointed with the broth. While others claim that they enjoy the clear broth, I found it peppery and yet very bland. Not very flavorful at all. I could not pickup on any star anise, cinnamon or even the rich flavor that you would get from the ox tail. It almost tasted package made.
My hubby's dish was good but not out of this world great. For $25 including tip I didn't really think it was worth it. Might give it a chance again to try their Bahn Mi since I like their meats but I probably won't rush there any time soon.
