I’m usually not a pho person but for some reason I’ve been eating a lot of it lately! Haha!
I was craving it the other day and my friend took me here. I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually pretty good. I normally find pho soup very bland from various restaurants, nothing that would make me go “WOW I’ve gotta have another bowl!” But my small pho tai nam bowl here was not half bad. Generous portion of beef and briskets, and soup base was cooked just right. Eating this on a cold night completely satisfied my sudden craving.
I’ve also tried the “tau hu ky” (shrimp paste wrapped in crispy tofu paper) – but it was just alright. I’ve had better ones at other Vietnamese broken rice restaurants. As you can tell from the photo, the portion was small compared to the amount of lettuce and veggies they give you. 😀 You can wrap the shrimp paste with the lettuce and dip it in the sweet fish sauce or you can eat it by itself.
Totally affordable menu. $6-$9 dishes. Restaurant decor is modern, nice and clean. Service is average. I’ll come back here if I ever get another sudden attack of pho craving.
