| - We've been here a few times now, and have loved everything we've ordered.
Service:
The service is really good - the owner is such a kind man, and always comes out to greet our children. This is definitely a good place for kids. Food comes out fast, fresh, and hot!
Atmosphere:
What you would expect from a storefront restaurant, but with nice touches. Not the "hole-in-the-wall" you might think it is based on the exterior.
Food:
All we could ask for. The fresh spring roll appetizer is solid - a couple of shrimp and fresh goods packed inside, with a nice peanut dipping sauce. Our kids (range of 3-9) split the House Spicy Chicken, but order it non-spicy. It's a nice, sweet, stir-fried dish served with steamed rice. They love it. I ordered the Pork Clay Pot the first time, and it was solid - slightly sweet, perfect texture, served with steamed rice. The pho is where it's at, though. We typically get Pho Tai (thinly sliced rare beef that cooks in the broth) and Pho Ga (chicken). The beef pho has a rice, hearty broth, while the chicken pho has a lighter broth. The spices/herbs are blended perfectly. You can taste the coriander, anise, cilantro and ginger. The huge bowls are served with a plate of fresh items - limes, bean sprouts, jalapeno slices, and Thai basil. Condiments on the table are, of course, sriracha and hoisin sauce. The portions are generous, and the meal utterly satisfying.
Not much more to say. Prices are very reasonable - pho is around $8, other dishes are up to $11. I'll probably try the bun sometime soon.
