Oh my, this is some pho-tastic soup! Every aspect of this place is pho-nominal, from the pho-togenic presentation to the magni-pho-cent fatty chunks of meat. It was abso-pho-king-lutely delicious, I gobbled it down like an Idahoan pho-rmer after a long day in the fields. I postulate that a new subatomic particle is responsible for the incredible flavour, hopefully CERN will find this elusive pho-ton with a mass somewhere north of 4 TeV. "I pity the pho" who doesn't know the true nature of this Vietnamese delight.
Enough of this punny pho-lishness, down to the nuts and bolts! Tender chunks of close-to raw beef in my dish made me very happy, as did the hand-cut noodles. The broth was near-perfect, salty and pho-rmidable and although the medium size was enormous, I found myself consuming phor too much of it along with the much lauded Sriracha 'hot cock' sauce and their own fresh chili sauce, which was really tasty. They serve an extra-pho-gant plate of super-fresh and crunchy bean sprouts on the side with full branches of purple basil and other leafy herbs to pho-lavour your broth. I'll not beat around the bush, the accoutrements were all pho-gasmic, truly masterful pho-llatio! Bravissi-pho!
The restaurant was clean and well lit (the lighting was perhaps a bit garish, but quite forgivable) and the service was fast and pho-riendly.
This famous 24 hour spot is no phony, if you want really good soup anytime, check out Pho Pasteur, it's some of the best soup I've ever had, and it's really cheap for the enormous bowls that they give you. What are you waiting for, don't be a phool, it's open now!
