I am impressed with the food and service here.
I was initially looking to enjoy some delicious Korean food, but the place that I wanted to visit were closed on a Sunday. I then opted for Vietnamese food. I am rather new to Arizona, but have visited Saigan Pho in Tempe area twice thus far with my room mate, but wanted to try a different place.
I walked in and was seated right away. I am not going to lie, when I first arrived the parking lot was almost fully empty, with just one SUV parked in front, which made me a little skeptical. I walked in to find just one couple eating their food. The aroma coming from the kitchen welcomed me and as soon as I opened the menu, I knew that they were serious about their Vietnamese food.
I ordered the fresh shrimp and chicken spring rolls, which come with a delicious peanut sauce.
My main order was of the seafood Pho which consisted of big delectable shrimp, squid, fried fish cakes, and crab meat (imitation, but still yummy) in a rich and flavorful pork broth. I wanted to try something different, so I chose the yummy pork broth, as opposed to the normal beef broth. I also had them combine two different types of noodles for me, ramen and clear ones. The combination of the various flavors and noodles, really enhanced the meal. I also enjoyed a cold Sapporo beer, which for happy hour was only $2.00.
I love their happy hour prices for appetizers and beers. I will be back for more happy hour deliciousness at Pho Da Lat.
BTW, I went to wash my hands before I ate and the bathrooms were beautiful and clean and the waitress was very attentive and sweet.
I think I may have my next East Coast foodies event here. THe prices are amazing, the food is delicious and plentiful, and the ambiance is welcoming.
