| - Best pho you will eat in Phoenix. Being a recent resident of Orange County, I was really spoiled with access to Little Saigon and all it's fantastic pho options. I have tried nearly every pho spot in Phoenix and the West Side, and this one smokes the rest.
Pricing is fair\inexpensive (compared to Rice Paper, which was mediocre). Service was better than comparable pho restaurants, ambiance is very....authentic.....to most "authentic" Viet restaurants.
Had David as a waiter, and he made small talk and recommended the XL Pho Tai, which was a great deal considering the sheer volume of pho I ended up getting. He was kind enough to make a special half-order of egg rolls, and the food arrived quickly.
The bowl was ENORMOUS, and hot. The noodles were fresh, the meat was the correct type and sliced correctly. The broth was perfect, actually had onions\green onions\cilantro in it, and had all the correct side accessories (I didn't have to ask for a spoon, Hoisin, sliced peppers, lime, etc).
Egg rolls were on point, not refrigerated for days on end, and the filling was on-par with the real deal in Little Saigon.
I made small talk with David about the area and found out his parents own the place, and his recommendations were spot on. Well done! I will be back.
