Pho #1

[20120111]
I remember when I was first introduced to this restaurant. It was the first pho I had in Maryland and despite the pho being worse than pho in Westminster, CA, I was happy to have eaten some pho. After that, and before the following entries, I've come here on about two other occasions.

Ate here with PS. Last meal in MD before getting on my flight back to CA. The pho here is decent. Having eaten shortly before coming today, I simply ordered a bowl of pho bo vien ($6.25 for a regular bowl). The menu description reads "beef ball rice noodle soup." I also ordered some coffee, ca phe phin sua da, "iced filtered coffee with condensed milk, french style." ($3.65 for Trung Nguyen Gourmet Blend) I'm not sure I was aware at the time, but apparently there were two types of coffee available, Cafe du Monde ($2.65) and Trung Nguyen Gourmet Blend ($3.65). Overall, I can't recommend going here, as there are several other pho places, including one in Baltimore, which I haven't tried going to yet. On the other hand, I have gone here several times, so they certainly don't make terrible pho. I would say the same about Pho Dat Thanh in Towson and at the moment I don't know how they compare. Actually, I now remember once going to Pho Van Restaurant, which is also along the Baltimore National Pike. I'm not 100% sure I went there, but I do remember going to a pho restaurant with JB and liking it a whole lot better than both Pho Dat Thanh and Pho #1.
