| - If it weren't for the opening of Toro Sushi I wouldn't have even noticed this place. It's so small, and if I didn't look at the photos I would've thought it's some take out shack and would have no interest in visiting.
What enticed me to trying this place is the fact I noticed it's been in existence for over 10 years. I mean, something has to keep this place alive, right? Something has to be good? Nevertheless, I'll find out.
I had the beef brisket noodle soup with what reminded me of the typical tomato soup base you see in other Pho restaurants (though it wasn't stated). I also had the pork strip rice paper roll and an iced lime soda. The noodle was your typical Pho noodle, thin and chewy, and the beef brisket was very good! The broth seemed to be the standard Pho soup base with a sauce added to it...ah well. The pork strip rice paper roll was decent, quite large in size. I didn't really feel that much pork in it, nor the vermicelli. A lot of peanuts and veggies though. Finally, the iced lime soda was quite good if you're not a fan of sugary drinks. It's VERY sour, I warn you.
Will I come back? It definitely has its own character, different from my usual Vietnamese noodle place (Kim Po). I would come back for standard Pho, but not for the exotic stuff I'm used to in Kim Po.
