I had some time to kill and have dinner after work before my volleyball game and I was in the mood for pho.
Quick check along my route and We Love Pho pops up so I figure Ill try it out.
First note, as others have mentioned, while there are Vietnamese dishes, dont expect the same flavours as you would find at other Vietnamese restaurants. Yes, the owners/cooks dont have Vietnamese background. Im not going to hold that against them - I make a mean carbonara.
I ordered the chicken pho and Vietnamese iced coffee.
The coffee comes out first and I notice the flavour is different. Its because of the beans and the roast but they definitely did not skimp on the condensed milk, and its strong so no complaints there.
Pho comes out and it looks good. Someone complained about the condiments not being on each table - they are available in clear sight on a condiment shelf, a common inclusion in many pubs.
The meat to noodle ratio is good but I found the sliced chicken breast unusual. Thats just part of my expectation as the chicken was well cooked and tasty. To the broth, nice and light given it was chicken, you could see pinhead sized drops (rather than a large pool) of fat on the surface, and you can taste the start anise and cloves. Different, but good.
