Unphogettable

Surprisingly awesome place to get Southeast Asian cuisine! The restaurant is pretty well-decorated and very clean. Somewhat on the smaller side, but spacious. Even better, the employees are extraordinarily nice! I had a great time meeting the female waitress, who seemed genuinely sweet. I was surprised by the quality of the food, their lemongrass chicken comes with a spectacular-tasting sauce that I couldn't get enough of. Coated the meat perfectly. Serving size was perfect for lunch, and the prices weren't too bad either. I'd love to come back here and maybe bring some friends.

The food here was actually a very good for a small mall location. I am very surprised. The banh xeo was shockingly amazing and yummy. It was crisp and filling. The flavor is really good here. The pho is also relatively nice. The dumplings were mediocre, but yummy for some of the kids. And the chicken wings with fish sauce were quite good. The skin was very crisp and flavorful. Parking is pretty easy and the food was spot on the delivery time that grub hub told me it would be ready.

To be quite honest I’ve held off going to this place because of the name. UnPHOgettable… yes, I get it that it’s cute and I’m not above a strained pun now and then, but it sounds like a chain. Plus I hear the ghost of Nat King Cole singing that ear worm in my head every time I see the name. Well, more the fool I. Now it’s true they have a bank of televisions in the middle of the place that make it look a sports bar died there and the new owners didn’t know what to do with the leftover screens, but I suppose they can be forgiven, we all know that Americans love their television. So, let’s get to the the Meat of the situation, and more importantly, the broth of the matter. The basil was the freshest I’ve seen. Not just fresh, but it looked like it had never been packaged. Do they grow it themselves? It was a nice touch, and the lime was juicy. The broth came clear and savory with my requested noodles, which lifted easily from the bowl. The beef was lean and tender and the condiment tray was well stocked, I like to bump up my heat level after getting a good sense of the party going on in the bowl. A small thing, but I love the Stassen brand of Jasmine tea they serve, it is one of the most fragrant on the market. I also love how the different tastes come swimming up out of the broth like curious little fish coming to see what heck is going on… here’s a little anise, oh, there’s a bit of lime! Oh! Hello pepper! I would think if you could bath in this stuff, you’d live forever. Other than the tv screens, which blessedly were not turned up loud, it’s a pretty serene atmosphere, but that didn’t make my old ugly self feel even a bit out of place. I’ll give it a straight up 5 outa 5.

This place is freaking awesome! The ambiance is beautiful and calming. The service was warm, kind, and accommodating. The food was spectacular! I got the Pho and the egg rolls. They were both in my top best experiences with those selections. I will absolutely come back and I will recommend this place to others.

The last time I was here I had the pho dac biet. That was 2 stars for me. Broth was lacking in flavor. Too many noodles and not enough broth. The cuts of meats were tiny and stringy. Barely any green onions and herbs in the broth. I ordered bun bo hue this time. Pleasantly surprised by the bun bo hue! It was super tasty and flavorful. Enough meats, broth, AND noodles. The hot chili oil looks house-made. However, it didn't seem super fresh. Hot chili oil does need to be refrigerated if not consumed within an amount of time. This place has been slow the two times I've been here so if the oil has been sitting out it might explain why it tasted the way it did. There were more charred/burnt pieces of chili/spices than what I would consider edible but HEY, not the end of the world. Being the only patron in the restaurant at the time it did seem odd that my order took as long as it did BUT I will wait for a quality bowl versus a rushed lukewarm bowl!

This place is definitely PHOgettable, just got a vegetable Pho 🍲 and paid $17 hardly any vegetables in it, 3 broccoli and 2 very thinly slice carrots and a spoonful of cabbage, I get price increases happen, especially with the way the economy is right now but seriously, there’s no meat in it and vegetables don’t cost that much. This place is getting greedy, no wonder the place was empty. I definitely will be going to the one down the road that is $7 cheaper and actually gives vegetables in the vegetable pho.
