PHO-NOMENAL-BOWL

"***UPDATE *** I really wanted to give a higher rating for this place because there aren't many Vietnamese restaurants around. I decided to give this place another chance today. The phở was even worse than last time. The broth smells like sink water with dirty dishes, possibly the worst I have ever had, and I have been to many places in the world eating some pretty bad phở. My daughter ordered the Tonkatsu, and it was nothing like the real thing. We weren't expecting Japan quality, but the dish was not edible. It was pork cutlet chopped into the size of your thumb and deep fried. It was dry and impossible chew. With the cost of eating out so expensive these days, I would not come back and definitely not recommended. I took away a star, so 1 star. ***ORIGINAL*** Phở was not good. I got their P1, the house special phở, a little more expensive, but I wanted them to put their best foot forward. Portion was good, I liked the big bowl, easier to mix everything up. Fresh herbs were good, they served some basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, and jalapeños. They got the Rooster Sriracha, that's a plus, not every place serves it now because it's more expensive. Lots of meat, which is good. What ultimately earned them the 2 stars is the broth. The broth does taste like phở broth, seems like some ingredients were missing. I can taste some Vietnamese fermented shrimp paste in the broth, which could be contaminated if they also serves bún bò Huế. The broth had a heavy dose of MSG, probably because the broth was not cooked correctly so they use MSG to add flavor. Don't get me wrong, I love myself some MSG, but the broth was not right. Would not recommend the phở."

"What a Great restaurant for Asian food!! The spring rolls are a wonderful start. Try the dipping sauce, it compliments the taste beautifully. Now, the main event, the HUGE bowl of flavors, each taste is an explosion in your mouth. I tried the chicken. Tender pieces of grilled chicken, in a delightfully seasoned bowl of goodness, with tons of flavor. The service was very attentive and the atmosphere, relaxing and completely enjoyable. Walked out, told Ashley our great server, see you in a few days!!"

"Honestly I don’t give out five stars like Santa bringing gifts to all the kiddies but this place deserves it. The food is AMAZING and it’s A LOT. I got the Pho Chicken. I swear I felt my heart sing with joy from the first bite. The broth was beautiful and the noodles were perfection. It was so good. If I could give more than five stars I would. Definitely coming back here."

"Liked the pho special, lots of meat and was great on sides including fresh jalapenos. The Taiwanese salt pepper chicken was on point, too! They were nice about giving us a bigger table. Thai tea was great, the soy milk I'd skip as it was like a Vitasoy.. didn't taste fresh pressed."
