"So I visited this place twice more after my initial visit on opening week (latest one was earlier today), and I must say, my bad experience during my first trip was purely growing pains.\n\nI tried the spring rolls again. No overpowering minty aftertaste. Everything was just right. Still not the best, but good enough.\n\nI ordered the pho with rare steak, brisket, meatballs & tendon (I think it was the house special pho), and the flavor of the broth was a lot more tasty than the first one. It had much more flavor, and that sweetness that makes really good Pho was there. I still prefer driving to Chinatown and savoring the pho of Pho87 or Pho Saigon 8. But whenever I'm craving for a quick fix, since I live less than a mile from here, this place is good enough.\n\nThe reason why I didn't give this review more stars was because my table smelled of a damp washcloth. I let the server know and I switched to a different table and experienced the same thing. I chose to not mind it anymore. It was horrible during the wait. Good thing the scent of the soup overpowered it when I ate so it was all good in the end."^^ . . . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . "2013-06-22T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
