I
arrived
at
11:30
am
on
a
quiet
Saturday.
The
atmosphere
is
inviting
and
comfortable
for
a
meal.
For
my
tasting
experience,
I
selected
three
items:
House
Special
Noodle
Soup
(Small)
Vermicelli
with
Lemongrass
Chicken
Fillet
and
Vietnamese
Spring
Rolls
(x2
items)
Vietnamese
Rice
with
Lemongrass
Chicken
Wings
-
Regarding
Item
1,
the
house
special
pho
proved
to
be
an
enticing
choice.
It
delivered
a
delightful
flavor
profile,
especially
considering
the
generous
portion
size
and
reasonable
price.
While
a
touch
more
meat
would
have
been
appreciated,
given
the
shop's
location
and
pricing,
I
find
no
room
for
complaint.
The
broth
exhibited
a
robust
richness,
and
the
balance
between
noodles
and
soup
was
spot
on.
For
those
unsure
of
what
to
order,
I
highly
recommend
trying
the
house
special.
Turning
to
Item
2,
the
Vermicelli
left
me
a
tad
disappointed.
The
ratio
of
noodles
to
fish
sauce
was
off-balance,
with
an
abundance
of
noodles
and
a
lack
of
sauce.
Even
after
incorporating
the
entire
fish
sauce
into
the
dish,
the
noodles
remained
rather
bland,
lacking
in
depth
of
flavor.
Both
the
Lemongrass
Chicken
Fillet
and
Vietnamese
Spring
Roll
failed
to
elevate
the
overall
taste,
leading
me
to
conclude
that
I
won't
be
reordering
this
particular
item.
It's
worth
noting,
however,
that
the
Vietnamese
Spring
Roll
on
its
own
was
truly
outstanding.
As
for
Item
3,
the
Vietnamese
rice
with
Lemongrass
Chicken
Wings
left
me
wanting.
The
chicken
wings
and
accompanying
vegetables
erred
on
the
side
of
blandness
for
my
palate,
and
the
overall
dish
seemed
to
lack
a
certain
depth.
The
pickled
vegetables
on
the
side
could
have
benefited
from
a
touch
more
pickling
and
an
added
punch
of
flavor
to
elevate
the
entire
dish.
-
TLDR/Final
Ratings:
Give
this
pho
place
a
try.
The
house
special
pho
is
good
and
reasonably
priced,
but
be
wary
of
other
menu
items.
House
Special
Noodle
Soup:
3.5/5
Vermicelli
with
Lemongrass
Chicken
Fillet
and
Vietnamese
Spring
Rolls:
2/5
Vietnamese
Rice
with
Lemongrass
Chicken
Wings:
2/5
