Quite honestly, when we first saw the restaurant we weren’t too hopeful.  Pho Vietnam is tucked into a corner in a strip mall.  It has a very unassuming exterior and the inside, with its vinyl booths and help-yourself chopsticks is equally low-key.  Luckily, once we tasted the food our hesitancy disappeared!  Their great food belies the simple digs!

Pho is a kind of Vietnamese noodle soup, and it not surprisingly makes up a good portion of the menu.  Ian ordered the #20 for lunch – beef Pho.  It had great meat and came with bean sprouts, hot peppers, crisp green onions and fresh basil that you’re free to add as you see fit.  He topped it off with a glass of coconut juice which he enjoyed and which came with shaved coconut in it, $7.

Wendy had the V2 which is lightly friend tofu with crisp vegetables.  There’s a choice of crispy or soft noodles.  It was delicious!

During the warmer months there is an outdoor eating area with some umbrella shaded tables surrounded by small flower planters.  The view is of the strip mall parking lot, but the food more than makes up for the location!  Enjoy their food?  It’s even easier to swallow their prices – both our lunch specials were under $10.
