This is the first time I had Pho in my life, so my review may not be perfect, but I wanted to write anyway about the experience. On a rainy Saturday evening, we were craving something hot and wholesome. After driving down to Paradise Cafe and discovering they were closed (who closes at 8 on a Saturday night??!) and then to Whole Foods and finding their food counter full of the day's last leftovers, we headed to Pho Da Lat.
Not a bad choice at all! The waiter was really attentive and our orders came really fast. It could be because the restaurant was almost empty. It was good we didn't order appetizers because then I'm sure we would have needed doggy bags. I got the well-done beef shank pho and my friend got the Pho Da Lat special. Our orders came in huge bowls, filled with steaming hot liquid, meat, and veggies, with a side of a few bean sprouts, a lemon wedge and some basil leaves, and of course Hoisin sauce and hot sauce. I'm glad I went easy on the sauce because the pho was so hot (not spicy hot...temperature hot) it made my eyes water. Well, as I said it was my first time having pho, so I don't really have anything to compare it with. But boy, was it delicious! It filled me up,, and it was healthy...so yayyyy pho!
