Stopped by Best Buy to pick up a phone case and noticed this Vietnamese restaurant next door. Deciding to check it out was definitely the best decision of said day.
Pho Chopstix is a fast casual style sit down/carry out restaurant. As the name would entail, most of their fare includes different variations of the Vietnamese Pho noodle soup. I opted for the shrimp pho, I think it was number 13 on the menu. I paid the extra $2 to upgrade to the large version. I also decided to try a bahn mi sandwich which was a nice add on.
I choose the carry out option though I wouldn't have minded eating here either. The restaurant was clean and had some relaxing yet upbeat music in the background. It was about 30 minutes to close and she asked me if I'd like any fresh spring rolls and I agreed. The cashier brought my food out about 10 minutes later and I was on my way home.
I don't know much about pho or carry out pho but apparently it is a do it yourself project. My shrimp pho order consisted of: 1 quart of beef broth (my choices were either veggie or beef) and a styrofoam container containing a large mound of thin white noodles and generous portions of mint, cilantro, white onion, jalapenos, and shrimp. I combined the broth and the other ingredients in a large soup bowl and dived in. I probably should have reheated the broth as the soup majorly cooled down once adding all the other ingredients. The shrimp and vegetables were cold in the styrofoam but I guess that must be to prevent them from wilting. (I re-separated the broth and microwaved it for 90 seconds and re-introduced it to the solids. Now they were all piping hot.) Once my construction project was complete, I was rewarded with a delicious, ridiculously large bowl of pho.
The bahn mi sandwich was tiny but awesome. Like a bahn mi slider almost. A small french baguette with pork, carrots, and cilantro, all covered in a sweet sauce.
The fresh spring roll was filled with shrimp, some greens, and the same noodles as the pho. It came with a peanut sauce. I ate these the next day and they were alright.
Altogether, I was glad I stumbled upon Pho Chopstix. I look forward to stop by again next time I am driving...
Read moreWe had a group of 9 go to dinner at Pho Chopstix, and the experience was very pleasant. We had a mix of vegetarians and omnivores in our group, and everyone enjoyed their meals.
We started with two types of veggie egg rolls: spring rolls made with supple rice paper and stuffed with tofu, Thai basil and Brussel sprouts, and the second was a fried veggie egg roll with cabbage and other ingredients. Some people had the limenade, which was overly sweet, while others had hot tea or Thai iced tea.
A few people had vegetarian pho or with beef or pork, while others had vermicelli or other dishes with varied proteins.
The food was very hot, spiced to taste, and very flavorful. The service was prompt and courteous. I would recommend Pho Chopstix for a reasonably priced and authentic...
Read moreI hate leaving bad reviews but I have to address some issues with this place. When I first came in I was picking up an order that was already paid for. I quickly left to put my order in my car to keep it warm and went back inside to use the restroom. When I came back inside I asked the same person working the front if I could use the bathroom. He then explains that I would have to buy something or just walk over to Best Buy to use it. First off, I’m a paying customer so for you to deny someone for something like that is just ridiculous! You don’t know if I’m pregnant or have a disability. Also the food was mediocre at best and barely warm when I got home. This will be the last time I come to this restaurant. They’re unprofessional and rude to...
