Nekst Event — Restaurant in Astoria

Okay, so this is good Pho for the area but it is not “the” best Pho nor is it 100% traditional. The best Pho I’ve had in the US is in Houston.

That said, the broth had flavor which is more than I can say for a lot of Pho restaurants nowadays, the chicken was moist which was a huge plus, and the cashier was wearing a mask which is another plus. Unfortunately the chef was not.

The portion size is much smaller than traditional Pho and there were way too many bean sprouts and not enough of the noodles.

There are some outdoor stools with a long wood plank table with an incredible view.

I got mine to go and had to ask for chopsticks and a spoon. The cashier gets distracted talking with locals which is nice to see but isn’t as friendly with tourists and needed help serving. My Pho had been sitting waiting — along with about four others — to be served/handed to customers.

Freshest of veggies all the way around? You got it! Impressive! I ate the whole thing, didn't leave a bite, and my friend did the same with the noodles he always "oodled" about! Such great food, people, and overall dining experience! So glad he...

This place is a family run gem by the sea. They were so warm and friendly. I loved that the daughter was running the register while the dad cheffed away in the background and the mom brought the food out and made adult drink selections. We had the sandwiches and were worried a bit, but when we finally dug in we had to pause a moment and just appreciate just how excellent they were. They were the perfect blend of hearty and fresh. You could feel the veggies pop as you chomped down and the beef added amazing flavor. I can imagine going anywhere else for lunch lunch the next time I visit, and if you give this special little joint a try you...
