The staff is friendly and helpful, the prices are lower than those of many Chinatown restaurants and the food is fresh and vibrant.
Presentation is simple, but the kitchen staff does attempt to delight the eye.
A mound of boiled pork, shredded basil and peanuts sits at the center of the arrangement. Of course you'll want to try the restaurant's namesake pho. There are 11 versions of the Vietnamese noodle soup, each offering a different type of meat. Any of the beef bowls are popular. Try not to add the self-serve chili paste or sauce until after you've tasted the broth, which is perfumed with anise and other spices.
