Seats: 30-35
Reasonably priced
This was the first time i have been here and was surprised how small it looked from the outside. I was having a craving for some good pho and did not have a clue were to look. I did a Google search and Saigon Pho came up.
Once entering there was only a few folks there for lunch, i was greeted and given a table with a menu. The menu is small, yet sufficient. I looked around to see what others were having and noticed they all had these big bowls in front of them of either pho or other noodle soups.
I gave the menu a good luck and chose to have the Saigon Pho, it is a mixture of both pulled chicken and sliced beef. I ordered the regular size since i didn't know what i was getting into.
While waiting i checked out the condiments on the table of Thai chili sauce, and hoison sauce. The waiter returned to the table with the sides for the pho. On the plate artfully placed was mung beans, Thai basil, thinly sliced jalapenos and two lime wedges.
My pho had finally arrived, I was glad that i had ordered the regular sized bowl of pho. This fragrant bowl of had a mound of noodles, pulled chicken, sliced beef and scallions, the plate of sides was a great compliment to this bowl of deliciousness.
I did not add any of the hoison sauce and or Thai chili sauce to start, i wanted to see what it tasted like before adding a bunch of stuff. The slippery and silky noodles went down like nothing. The mung beans added a great contrast with its crunchiness. I was soon slurping it to no avail, soon i was out of breath and room in my stomach. I could not finish the entire bowl, I had about 1 cup of broth left in my bowl when i was done.
My bill came, with tip and all i spent $17, so yeah a great place to dine for under $20 that will leave you fulfilled and more money in your pocket. Next time I go I am bringing Renee and a larger appetite so I can try there sandwiches.
