I've been waiting to see what was going to pop up as the next establishment in this space and was surprised for the final reveal. Seeing the sign for "Pho Street" got me very excited as I have been waiting for something to fill my Ph needs since "Thahn Thahn 3" recently went out of business
Before jumping into my detailed experience and in case you just want a simple answer, I can say that this place was great and even though it is still very young (only a few days old), it has A LOT of potential. Do your job as a patron and share your feedback to keep this place coming along in its greatness and let's make this the new Vietnamese spot of Nashua.
My Experience:
As soon as I walk in, I face the register, a pleasant color scheme and some great tunes (lo-fi hip hop: Nujabes). The two people working the front were very nice college kids that were very helpful with a crowd of about 4-6 people. Due to the short staff, I wasn't quite sure if I was supposed to sit or wait or what, so I grabbed a menu.
As I stood there, I asked if I could grab a seat which the person kindly suggested to sit wherever I'd like. I sat for about 5-6 minutes but no one ever came to my table to take my order. At this time I'm seeing several people at the register ordering already and locating themselves at tables so I decided to go up to the register and order due to the confusion. Going back to my seat, I also notice that utensils, napkins and water are there for you to take yourself, so I do.
I decided to keep things simple with an order of Ph Tái (Beef Noodle Soup w/ Rare Steak Only), just to see how the simple dish was pulled off and it was delicious! I feel that the broth could of been a little more beef tasting but the noodles and slices of beef were just right, accompanied with your small dish of bean sprouts, basil and lime. It's only one size for now but was a nice amount to get me going not to mention the free promotional spring roll was a nice side (I chose vegetable).
As I began my exit, I was asked by one of the college kids how my food was and on the way out was sent with a fond farewell from what seemed to be the cooks/shop owners (two females) who also asked my opinion. Definitely loved the vibes, music and atmosphere of all sorts of people. I will be back again and again to expand and critique what looks to be a great selection of dishes. My one wish would be some Coconut Milkshake though! ..all in due time, all in due time.
