Phở #1 — Restaurant in Albuquerque

Not too bad of a pho restaurant. This time was the 2nd time here, first time we didn't get pho, even though the place is called pho #1. Both hubby and I got the pho. The pho comes in small (or regular?), large and extra large. My husband got the Xtra large (obviously), but I thought that was was full of noodles and not enough meat for an extra large bowl.

I noticed on the menu they also had vegetable egg foo young, which is my favorite Chinese dish. We came back the following week for the foo & it really is the best egg foo young in the 505!
