The restaurant was empty, but after being seated we waited a good 5 min before the server reappeared to take our order. This pattern persisted during our visit.
The fresh shrimp rolls each contained 3 slices of shrimp, a few strands of shredded carrot, some iceberg lettuce, and a lot of vermicelli. We couldn't quite figure the sauce that was served with the rolls, finally labeling it "some weak peanut stuff".
Unfortunately the pho was almost tasteless. The "signature version" was very disappointing. The broth, usually the star of the show, was badly watered down. There was scant beef in it: a couple of balls, some slices of rare beef, and extremely tough brisket that in other circumstances would have warranted a knife & fork. No tendon to be found. Plus the small amount if bean sprouts & basil did little to bulk up the "extra large" bowl of pho.
There was an Asian couple that came in while we were eating & also ordered pho. Although I don't know the variety, they left before we did. As we walked by I noticed that that their bowls sat on their table about 1/2 full. Outside I saw them & asked about their meal. They shook their heads & said they wouldn't be back. Neither will we. read more
