I Don't wanna jinx it, but this place probably has one of the best PHO around. It is definately world class. The broth is a tad sweet and cinnamony. Please Don't Change this Place. I will make the...

Nothing is better than PHO for a hang over, It settles your bubble guts and re-hydrates you at the same time. This place is one of the better ones I've been to. They have great flavor in the broth,...

For the limited amount of Pho on the menu, they still know how to rock my taste buds. Apparently the menu is going to expand, which will be mind boggling as I will eventually have to try everything....
