Excellent service! Try the pho ga (chicken) or the chicken bun (noodle salad). Kiwi smoothies also great. And leave water glass at edge of table to avoid refilling hassle.

As a vegetarian I wasn't too impressed, however my carnivorous hubs loved the rare beef pho.The veggie pho was plain and dull. The tofu spring rolls however were killer!

Get the steak rare. If you get it well done, it cooks in the broth and makes the meat very chewy. Get the meat rare and it's medium by the time you get to eating it.

I always get the noodle soup without meat. Add all the fixin's and spices and your hangover will be cured. Oh, and you will always half a full glass of water.

Pho is the specialty here, but their rice dishes are excellent. Try Com Tam with marinated pork, beef or even their fried tofu and shrimp paste!

Rare steak pho, all the spring rolls are great.

Pho tai on the side raw, squeeze on lime, wait a few minutes, then cook meat in broth.

They have very speedy service, especially when refilling your water. Sometimes you don't even notice... like ninjas.

Mediocre pho. Nothing too special that made it stand out. Might try broken rice next time.
