A: Always on the lookout for some pho action in the Valley, I first saw this business pop up on the new business listing, but soon quickly disappeared. Later on, I saw one of my friends bookmark this place. Looking at the reviews, I was kind of surprised no elites had checked out this spot. Might as well take one for the team! On the Yelp map, this location is pretty hard to find. Here is an easier way, just park in front of the I-Naba restaurant. It's right in front of that building. I thought they had been building up this spot for a long time. Upon entering, it's a very well taken care of resto. It could be due to the fact that everything is brand new. There is plenty of seating, and it fits the bill of a pho restaurant. After ordering, the food came out in a reasonable time. #7 - Pho Dac Biet (combination everything pho) - I thought that the broth was ok. It had a light beef flavor, while I prefer a more robust one, but it was good. They gave a lot of noodles, and they were properly prepared. The bean sprouts/Thai basil/jalapeno peppers were very fresh, and they gave a ton of bean sprouts. The meat was one of my favorite parts. The brisket was so good and had a real "beefy" flavor. The rare beef and meatball were very fresh and tasty as well. One criticism about this dish would be that I wish there was more meat. I thought they gave a fair amount of brisket, but they could have used a couple slices more of their rare beef, another meatball, more tripe, and more than just 1 tendon. Especially when After the yelp discount the total came out to 8.70, Yikes!! The service was pretty good as well. The servers came around to make sure I had enough water at all times, and they even brought me some extra napkins without having me ask. Even though I think it's a little bit more pricey than other pho joints, I thought the quality was pretty good. I still have my favorite spot, but this might be a possible replacement if my spot burns down or something. I wish they would give a little bit more of their fantastic meat, but ::shrugs::

Q: positive

A: Daytime drinker? This is your place. Newish, clean bar that has a somewhat sportsbar feel to it. Menu is diverse with breakfast all day, the usual pub fare for apps & entrees, and their taplist (thankfully) includes at least one Arizona beer and Murphy's Irish Stout. Service was very friendly - the sort that involves a friendly look in the eye, handshake, and "hello my name is... welcome, and what can I get you to drink?". Mozz sticks/wedges were homemade and simply one of the best examples I've had in years. The breading is crumbly, herbed, and similar to what you might expect on fried chicken. Homemade potato chips were ultra thin and crispy, though somehow they retain a large volume of grease. A healthy mixture of people were here for their daytime drinking. Both white and blue collar folks, mostly younger, but there was also a retirement aged ladies table having a great time. I would have appreciated more happy hour savings for being there at that hour but the nice atmosphere and service was worth it. I've never been here at night when it could be much busier.

Q: negative

A: I've ate here dining in about a month ago around 3 in the afternoon. The service was far from great. The manager took our order with no smile, and had the look of I could care less on her face. Atleast who ever was in the kitchen served us fresh food, and THANK YOU! I'm used to having to complain about the food. But hopefully this manager was just having VERY off day. I might give it another try, but I do not think it will be the near future. The one inside Arroyo Crossing shopping center treats me better!

Q: positive

A:
This shop is unassuming. However, the work is proficient and approached with authority and attention to detail. When an artist is more concerned about small details about what's going on your arm forever than you are, you are at the right place. Robert Pho must be an ultimate master because his "apprentice" Paco is a Jedi. I've had work done by others but I'm going back to them. Customer for life. And, they treat you like a customer. When you walk in the door they dont act like kids that might not let you in their secret club. And, even though they are great they charge you the going rate (thats the best part).
