Anthony Bourdain might recommend this restaurant....read and find out why.....
Pho for Days recently opened in P83 and is right next to the Peoria Sports Complex. They have a nicely furnished casual dining room and a patio. They offer a wine list and do offer bottles of wine that cost up to $100.00.
I ordered the Broken Rice Plate with Lemongrass Chicken. My white meat chicken was very tender and very flavorful. Along with the chicken were fried bell peppers, onions, scallions and some spicy hot peppers. My plate also came with some vegetable garnish, Fresh hot rice, chicken/pork soup and this smokey chili oil sauce. I thought it was good but differed in flavors from other Restaurants that offer this same dish. Good just different.
My husband ordered his usual Hot and Spicy. It doesn't say on the menu that this dish contains CONGEALED PORK BLOOD CUBES. The bowl had mostly a very large almost meatless pork knuckle and several blood cubes in it. When my husband got the dish he got sort of grossed out. Our waiter was very understanding and offered to get him something else so he got a Pho with rare beef and brisket. He said it was very light with the meat.
The food might differ slightly from the other Vietnamese Restaurants out there.
It might be a good thing after all Anthony Bourdain LOVES congealed pork blood!
The waiter and the whole staff were very nice to us.
Give them a try and see what you think!
