This is my go-to spot for pho downtown. Day or night - it's always busy so there is a high turnaround for food. No matter what you order, it always comes out in record time, perfect for people like me who are starving at the sight/smell of food. If you can communicate your special order to the staff then they are very accommodating to what you want.
Pho is always a good choice if your tight on budget. Best cheap eats in my opinion. Tsingtao beer is only $4.
I like that the soup is never too oily and the noodles are never overcooked. On one occasion the spring rolls came over fried but I didn't complain or return it... just ate it extra crispy... still good.
I've tried the pho, vermicelli, rice dishes, spring rolls and shakes - you can try anything here and be satisfied. The only thing I would be weary of is Item 15e since it has some shady looking meats.
Diners beware - this place is cash only!
