| - This place checks all my boxes. I had a super delicious VEGETARIAN PHO off their small but veggie-friendly menu. My soup was full of broccoli, thinly sliced onions, mung bean sprouts, shredded carrots, and cilantro (YUM), and the broth was deeply flavorful. It needed nothing extra.
However, I'm a fan of toppings, necessarily or frivolous, and Tram's did not disappoint. In addition to the usual herbal accompaniments, every table was preset with a whole host of condiments to self-season your meal. This tickles me greatly, especially for an eating experience such as pho. Soy, hoisin, and oyster sauce, plus Sriracha AND sambal olek? Tram's, I feel as though you get me. And my huge bowl, half of which was boxed up for me to take home, set me back just $7? YES, PLEASE.
Our friends ordered the beef and chicken soups with extra protein and were super pleased with how much extra meat they were given. My fiance had the PHO HANOI SOUP and is excited to try the Saigon and Sate styles when we return.
Tram's is exactly what a pho restaurant should be. Cheap, no frills, and unassuming. Service wasn't super attentive, but my requests were honored ASAP when they were heard (extra jalapeƱos, please! and hot black tea--not on the menu but a much-appreciated basic). This is a pho restaurant that makes me want to stop flirting with other pho restaurants and settle down. This is the type of pho restaurant that makes me feel less depressed about summer ending, because at least cold weather equals soup weather. I could eat this pho every week. Tram's, I'm so glad we met.
