First to review this new Vietnamese/Thai restaurant on busy York Blvd and Eagle Rock Blvd.
I think it's off to a great start. I went for takeout tonight.
Exterior: so new that the sign's not up yet. It still very much bears the weatherbeaten sign of a the previous Thai restaurant at this location.
Egg Rolls: Crisp with a good sweet fish sauce. Nothing special, and the egg rolls possibly not made in-house. Overall, I think they make a solid pho especially in terms of serving size. And while the broth could do with some tweaking and some additional accoutrement would be nice, l'd be happy to come by and have some more. I'd especially like to sample some of the Thai offerings, such as the Khao Soi. Cảm ơn/khop khun
Parking is really tight at this strip mall. Interior: red tables, simple chairs, nothing special. The place is still so new that I could hear drilling and hammering in the back.
Phở Dặc Biệt: At almost $20 with tax, I would be cautious about spending this much but several things made it worth it. The portions were huge. The rare steak, brisket, and tripe were delicious. The meatballs were a bit bland.
The broth was hot and very aromatic. Hard clove and anise notes. It could, in my opinion (and aware that not everyone else's), use a tad bit...
Read moreI love this place so much. Honestly everything that we get here is fire but a million percent try the chicken egg rolls… SO good. I also love their fried rice with sausage, their khao soi noodles are amazinggggg, love their pho as well! Never tried khao soi noodles until today and it was like a red coconut curry with chewy egg noodles. Super heavy but it is so comforting and the egg noodles tasted so fresh. The pho is pretty solid. I always jazz it up with their chili oil and the other sauce they have on the table and its perfect. I usually like my pho a bit saltier so i always just add salt when i take it to go.
Also, i have never really cared for mango sticky rice before but i LOVE the mango sticky rice here. I truly think it is my favorite thing i have ever eaten. Thats crazy saying that but it is so true. I love it...
Read moreI had an incredible experience. The pho was absolutely delicious, one of the best I’ve had. The broth was rich, flavorful, and served piping hot, just the way it should be. The portion size was generous, perfect for a satisfying meal. I loved the fresh bean sprouts, basil, and lime on the side, which added the perfect balance of crunch and freshness. What really stood out was their homemade chili sauce, it had the perfect amount of heat and depth of flavor, elevating every bite. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the beef was tender and flavorful. The service was friendly and fast, making the whole experience even better. If you’re craving a great bowl of pho, this is the place to go!...
