Place: Pho & More 2, Adams Ave.
Pho & More 2 is conveniently located where Pho Hoa used to be. The service is great and I went on at Lunch on a Sunday.
The broth was tasty. It definitely had layers of seasonings, spices, and a nice coating of fat. (You'll notice that I mention fat as one of my criteria... let's face it... fat makes things taste better and if you have a bowl of Pho without it and then one with it... trust me the Pho wit, will taste better) You can smell the Pho floating through the air as soon as you walk into the restaurant. The flavor isn't overwhelming but it's certainly not the best pho I've ever had. You could taste the spices throughout each sip. They definitely have carefully worked on their recipe and it tastes like it.
The meat quality was very good. The steak was very thin and cooked with the broth. The tripe was tripe. The tendon was soft and gelatinous... which is good! The brisket had very little fat on it and was paper thin. It also had fat brisket which was equally delicious but definitely fatty (i tend to trim the fat off and just eat the meat. The meatballs were delicious. Of all the places so far that serve Pho Dac Biet, this is the ONLY one that is true to that name. It gives you ALL the meats.
The vegetables were light and fresh and plentiful. Jalapenos, limes, basil, and bean sprouts were there and looked good.
The noodles were cooked perfectly and they give you plenty.
The Pho looked delicious. It had the perfect amount of sheen of fat and veggies throughout.
It was affordable the Dac Biet was about 8.95 which is a lil bit more pricey than the other places BUT you get ALL DA MEATS!
I would definitely recommend this place based on their pho. Proximity-wise this is very close to my house and if you want all the meats then this is the place for you (so far!)
