I don't understand why people don't like this place
Sure the broth is different from other places, even for me after the first time I was like da heck did I taste since it was different, I went back to kim po but I felt that their broth was too salty after the visit to Hong pho. So now I'm used to the taste at Hong I can't take the places that have salty broth
And the service is one of the best out of all pho places I've visit. The owner is korean, he's a really nice guy, other men working there are Vietnamese they don't speak good English so that might be the reason why they don't seem as friendly. At kim po everything seems so fast paced, at Hong pho I feel like I can take my time this is the main reason why I'm a regular at Hong Pho now
