Kobe House USA

Today my dad took us to Kobe House USA for lunch. Sitting outside, we each got a bowl of pho with rare steak and Kobe cubes.

Kobe Pho with rare steak & Kobe cubes (Phở tái chín gân bò Kobe)

I wrote: "The broth was very pure and fresh, making for a delicious experience. There were only three small cubes of Kobe beef; they tasted alright. I like kobe beef more when served in an entire slice and on a plate as opposed to being dropped into broth."

With herbs added and noodle tossed.

"In any case, the beef slices were thin and tasty. Overall, it was a topnotch bowl of pho. I should note, however, that there aren't any vegetarian options and there are few menu options." 12:26PM PT

The "Dine In & To Go" section of the menu. (They have a separate section for buying slices of meat.)

While the food was good, there was also a little cigarette smoking at a nearby table which, after living in Baltimore for six years, has become tolerable for me, but I can see it as being bothersome for some. There are a couple of tables inside and the next time my dad and I came, there was nobody smoking outside.

Plate of herbs, beansprouts, and lime.

Today my dad and I returned to this restaurant. Ordering the same bowls we got last time, I had roughly the same mixed experience which I had on our previous visit: the bowl of pho has a great tasting broth and meat, but I was dissatisfied with the Kobe cubes being thrown into the broth.
