Place: Pho Quyen,Whitaker Ave (next to Ben City Supermarket)

Pho Quyen right by Ben City Supermarket and originally was just a take out place but they have expanded into a full fledged sit down restaurant. The service was great. I went on a Friday afternoon around 12:30 PM.

The broth was very tasty. It had layers of spices, seasonings, fat, and fish sauce! (Kudos to you for taking it old school.) The flavor of the broth did not dull with every sip. You could tell that this broth is simmering in the back and is their own recipe.

The meat quality was good. Although this is a Pho Dac Biet, it only had 4 meats in it. It has tripe, which is never good or bad. Steak which was paper thin and cooked with the broth. Brisket which was somewhat fatty, thin, and very long pieces, but definitely good. Finally bo vien, which tasted like they make these in house, which I prefer.

The vegetables were very fresh. From the color to the taste of each item, basil, bean sprouts, lime and this is the only place so far that gives you an additional veggie, culantro!

The noodles were slightly overdone but they gave you plenty of it.

The Pho looked very appetizing. The sheen of oil to the green onion, thinly sliced onion, and cilantro made it beautiful.

It was very affordable the Dac Biet was about 7.95.

I would definitely recommend this place based on their pho. I didn't try any of their other food but the quality of the pho as very good. Also this is the only place so far that has listed OX TAIL PHO!!!!! Will have to try that soon!
