I love Pho, and to be honest I really don't know anyone who has tried this addictive Vietnamese dish that doesn’t share the same feelings, so it was only natural that when I saw an advertisement for Pho 777 at the national bowling stadium to give it a shot. The moment you get in the door you will be greeted to a dining room with your average Asian decor and a wide array of seating to fit just about any size party, but I warn you not to look too closely as you might take a glance into one of the dirtiest kitchens (that I found graciously opened up to the world through a door held open by an open container of Clorox) you may very well ever see. That being seen I was a little hesitant in ordering, but having made the trip downtown I wouldn’t want to waste my time getting there so I quietly looked away and placed my order, Spring rolls and a bowl of rare beef pho (Pho Thi). The Spring rolls were given to me about two minutes later suggesting that they may be pre-made, however it was quite irrelevant given the quality, looking at them you can tell the great quality of ingredients in these spring rolls, the shrimp were huge, the pork was plentiful, and the roll itself was still crisp and fresh as if in perfect proportion with the vegetables inside, truly these are one of, if not the, single greatest spring rolls you will ever find within the Reno/Sparks area, after enjoying these little jewels I was undoubtedly ready to put my fears aside from looking in the kitchen and ready for my Pho which came a little while after I finished the rolls. The bowl of Pho that was presented to me looked like your normal run of the mill Pho with one very noticeable exception, the clarity of the broth, what was called pho literally looked like beef, noodles and green onion in a bowl of hot water, but upon taste I noticed that...it wasn’t that far off, the broth was almost void of all but a salty finish, the beef and noodles were both of fair quality however good Pho is all about the quality of the broth, and that is something that the Pho at 777 lacks, so much so that it is probably the least enjoyable bowl of Pho in the city, which is truly a shame after the great quality of the spring roll. After flavoring the salt water soup with some table condiments I finished the noodles and beef, paid and the register and left disappointed. Spring rolls aside I found no reason to go back to Pho 777, the service was short and simi-sweet (two trips to drop off food, which is expected in a fast pace, cheap Vietnamese restaurant), the dining room was clean and spacious but the kitchen is filthy with dishes on the ground next to trash cans and open chemical containers holding doors, and the pho lacks flavor (other then the above mentioned salty finish) craftmanship, or care which is a shame considering how awesome there spring rolls are.
