I’m
a
huge
fan
Vietnam’s
famed
breakfast
soup,
but
sadly
this
spot
was
pho-gettable.
I’ve
passed
Pho
Chateau
many
times,
so
I
figured
I’d
give
it
a
try.
I
ordered
the
fried
spring
rolls
and
Phở.
My
favorite
spring
rolls
are
from
Vietnam,
so
I
was
looking
forward
to
these.
Sadly,
they
were
under
seasoned
and
their
nước
chấm
wasn’t
enough
to
liven
up
the
dish.
Also,
the
spring
rolls
were
too
oily.
I
surmise
the
oil
wasn’t
hot
enough
and/or
they
didn’t
let
the
spring
rolls
drain.
As
for
the
Phở,
I
had
#B89
(Well-Done
Brisket,
Fatty
Brisket
and
Soft
Tendon
–
Phở
Chín,
Gầu,
Gân).
I
asked
them
for
no
soft
tendon
and
to
just
add
a
little
extra
of
the
other
meat.
First,
the
dish
came
out
with
soft
tendon,
so
I
picked
it
out.
My
server
saw
me
and
was
apologetic
about
it.
They
brought
me
a
small
bowl
of
the
other
meats
to
add
to
my
soup.
The
broth
lacked
the
characteristic
richness
and
unctuousness
you
expect
from
Phở.
It
was
under
seasoned
as
well.
The
noodles
were
cooked
perfectly
and
the
meats
were
tender,
so
that
was
good.
The
restaurant
itself
was
nice,
clean,
and
inviting.
I
asked
for
more
fish
sauce
and
was
given
a
little
dispenser
with
it.
My
server
also
brought
me
a
caddy
with
different
condiments
because
they
knew
I
was
looking
to
enhance/
improve
the
flavor
of
my
food.
That
was
nice.
My
server
was
great.
They
were
very
warm,
answered
questions
I
had
about
the
menu,
checked
in
on
me,
and
even
engaged
in
light
banter.
The
customer
service
here
is
good.
I
cannot
recommend
this
place
on
account
of
the
quality
of
the
food
I
had.
Sadly
for
Pho
Chateau,
Northern
Virginia
is
saturated
with
Vietnamese
restaurants
and
the
competition
is
steep.
