| - The "test" for me of great Pho is when you get to the bottom of the bowl and you regret you areat the end, no matter how stuffed you are. That was the way I fet on each venture (there were many!) to Pho Ao Sen, which ofrmerly occupied this space.
That is NOT the case with this "Replacement" for Pho Ao Sen, of which I said the following in my Review.
The Pho was "ambrosia." Very aromatic, nice amount of meat and delicious!
Not only am I ranking it #2 and only slightly behind Dragonfly, it is by far the
best looking and best appointed Restaurant of any of the Pho Joints I have
seen. Also, it is run by a gorgeous Vietnamese young lady who does ALL of the
cooking and is usually there to greet you! GREAT, I mean GREAT Springrolls
complete or start this trip to "Pho Heaven!" - Best Springrolls in Phoenix!
Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the New "Replacement." Don't get me wrong, NOT bad Pho, just NOT what had been in this location. It is still a beautiful Restaurant and the Pho is okay, but would NOT be rated among my "Top 5."
Also unfortunate that the unique "Best Springrolls in Phoenix" are no more and the new ones are quite usual. Such a shame to lose at least the second best bowl of Pho in Phoenix (I have been to most!).
If you live close, the Pho Number One bowl is fairly priced and the waiters are very nice. The Resteraunt is still quite lovely and charming. Just NOT among the best Pho around!
