Pho Bowl

"I’m searching for the perfect Pho in the Ft Myers area and this was pretty good. Generous portions and decent price. We had the shrimp roll, very good. And each ordered the regular size pho, numbers 40 and 41. Beef broth, reasonable amount of meat, garnished with consisting of sprouts, jalapeño and basil (?) leaves. My husband ordered his without cilantro because he thinks it tastes like soap! I love it. The hot tea was good too. I would go here again.

"I loved everything about this place!! I came in hungry and left overly satisfied and happy! I had the combination fried rice and egg roll. Definitely will be coming back again!"

"Ordered the house pho, shrimp summer rolls, and a Thai ice tea. Everything was really good. Would recommend and will be coming back."

"I've been to Vietnam several times, this place is one of the most traditional tasting Pho shops I've been to. Whenever I'm sick it's always my go to. Especially if you have a sore throat or congestion. The soup opens up your sinuses and the broth sooths your throat. I'm thankful I don't need to go far for this delicious soup. Their vermicelli and sandwiches are awesome as well."

"This is a no-nonsense Vietnamese establishment that offers wonderfully authentic cuisine and, at least when I was there, excellent service. Drinks include canned sodas, water, a small beer selection, and some outstanding bobas. I tried the soursop variety out of curiosity. It was delicious. I might get brave and hazard the durian next time... They've got a pretty decent appetizer section. We enjoyed the spring roll and my mother had the shrimp egg roll. Don't be fooled by the egg roll, though. It was literally a large shrimp rolled in an egg roll wrapper and fried. It was tasty, but not what you'd expect from an egg roll. I had the bun bo hue for dinner, which is a massive pho bowl with plenty of noodles, pork, beef, cartilage, and pork jelly. Many people are a bit put off by the cartilage and jelly, so you can request they not include them. Keep in mind that the jelly is condensed pig blood. I actually tried it out of curiosity and found it to be very subtle and to have a texture somewhat comparable to tofu, but it is a jelly, so not so spongy. I don't know that it came with rice noodles, though. The noodles had the same composition as standard spaghetti. My wife had BÚN TÔM THỊT (hoặc GÀ) NƯỚNG CHẢ GIÒ. That translates to grilled shrimp noodles, by the way. It's probably her favorite Vietnamese dish. She loves the sauce that accompanies it and enjoyed the combination of flavors and textures. She emphasizes that the sauce really sets the flavors off. My mother enjoyed the CƠM THỊT NƯỚNG TRỨNG CHIÊN. That appears to come across simply as rice cooked with eggs. It was a dish that came with a nicely fried pork chop and jasmine rice with a fried egg. She said the flavor of the pork chop was particularly good. As far as atmosphere, it's a comfortable place that comes off a bit dated. The bar is relatively attractive and they've done what they could with the older facility. It's admirable, but not going to compete with some of the more modern restaurants that are in the area in terms of appearance. When you are enjoying your food and conversation with anybody you happen to come with, you probably won't pay much attention to it anyway. So, if you happen to be looking for Vietnamese cuisine while in the Fort Myers area, I would say stop by. The food is of excellent quality, the prices are comparable to the competition, and the service is quite nice. Just don't go looking for a facility that is "de moda"."
