Came here for the first time yesterday. Looks like a typical hole in the wall. Tables looked clean. They have a steady flow of customers (many different cultures) in and out. Service from the ladies was meh but whatever, I'm here for the food.
Tried the bun bo hue. The kitchen is super fast at getting orders to tables. I read some of the previous reviews about people inside the kitchen not wearing anything to catch hair...yesterday I observed the kitchen staff and they were all wearing a mix of either hairnets, caps, and bandanas. So, they fixed this practice., which is good.
My bun bo hue was a one size bowl for $8.50. It was pretty well sized with lots of toppings, pork blood, pork meat, beef meat, and vietnamese processed ham.
The soup was tasty and well seasoned (perhaps a tad on the saltier side), and had a nice kick of spice. The noodles were for the most part cooked well leaving a nice chewy bite, though some strands were undercooked and had a hard bite. I was not impressed with the meat... The beef and pork meat were so dry/tough/stale and not tasty. Seemed like all of the juices from the meat went into the soup. Overall, it was a nice noodle soup but nothing too spectacular as they seemed to have some meh toppings.
