You know a pho place must be decent if your friend from Vietnam find this place to be the most authentic. Prices range around $9-$12 which is a little bit pricier than what I'm used to but quality wise this place is pretty good. Portion wise, it isn't the largest but it should suffice until your next meal. This place is cash only, don't be mislead by the menu cover which implies that they accept card.
Ive had the beef noodle soups and the bun bu hue. Both are very good so if you aren't sure what to get, I'd recommend either.
