| - it's good, very good, but for a Vietnamese place, has a very short menu with limited choices.
And for the biggest knock on the place, no fish sauce on the table. Huh? Well, judging from the lunch crowd, none of the people that eat there would know what it is anyway. Not a Nguyen in the place other than the people running it. (joke for those of you with Smith for last name!) No big deal.
Pho Tai was very good, I love having green onions in the soup, but I doubt it is traditional. The accessory bowl was short a few green items but all very fresh. The broth very nice, though I think salty, but mmm, good.
Service was excellent. Ambience different than I expected. Small, quaint, clean, lots of awards on the wall, which I'm sure are well deserved.
The spring rolls were very tasty, though not traditional with dried pork, but the crispy and very yummy grilled pork and shrimp were delicious with the right hint of mint. mmmm. Very good peanut sauce to go with it, though I'm a fish sauce fan, which I didn't get to try THIS time. Next time I will.
I also tried the preserved lemon soda. Delicious!
I think if this place was close by, I'd eat here a lot. A nice Pho can't be beat and I would love to give their other menu items a chance.
