Over the years, I've been dragged from one pho place to the next by pretty much every single friend of mine and despite not being a fan of pho (even though everyone thinks I should be, being Asian and all), I feel like I can weigh in to say this place beats out the competition, hands-down.\n\nPrices here are probably on par with other places but you most definitely get your money's worth, especially with the #1 (or Pho Xe Lua, so the online menu tells me) . The broth isn't too sweet or too salty (this is starting to read like Goldilocks) and the portion sizes are good enough to satisfy me and all the bottomless pits I fondly call, my friends. I've personally never had anything other than the pho here, but I've heard that #13 is pretty good, and the kung pao chicken was ordinary. Though I'd never order kung pao chicken unless I was beaten and tortured into submission to eat at Panda Express. The owner is also really friendly and always takes the time to talk to my boyfriend because he and his ex-roommates used to frequent the place 2-3 times a week.\n\nQuick note, if you're planning on splitting the bill, bring some cash along cause there's a $10 minimum to use your card. Or just add-on an iced coffee or if you're adventurous, the salted plum juice!
