| - I really enjoyed this Pho today. We have grown quite disappointed in the other Pho restaurants around us (near Dobson and Warner) and so went to Yelp to find another location. This location, near Arizona Avenue and Ocotillo, is in the back portion of a strip mall near Target. A little difficult to find away from the street.
However, the restaurant was quite nice. Clean inside, tables are bused using a cart and bin (a lot better than other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to). The menu is straightforward, the Vietnamese staples.
We started with Cha Gio and Goi Cuon, both excellent. The Goi Cuon was very good, and they used the marinated grilled pork, which was a very nice twist.
We had Pho Tai, but the interesting thing about this restaurant is that can be ordered in Large and Extra Large. Given my appetite, I ordered the extra large. My wife and son had Buon Cha Gio Thit Nuong, which is rice noodle vermicelli with fried pork rolls and a very tasty marinated grilled pork. With fish sauce, this dish was excellent, probably the best I've had outside of my mother's home.
The Pho was fresh, with a rich broth which I found to be tasty and not oily, as it sometimes can be.
We have found our new Pho location. The service was polite, friendly, and fast. If you're in the East Valley and have a hankering for some Vietnamese food (not the dolled up fancy stuff), this is the place to go!
