This is the place where I met pho for the first time in my life. Obviously my pho preference has since been influenced by my first bowl, but when I came back to this place after 15 years in 2021, it didn’t disappoint me. The pho here is kind of rough, with lots of imperfections. The broth is a bit too dark in color with some unwanted flavor (like overcooking the broth or cooked blood sort) and tendon/tripe could use more thorough flavor cleaning, but overall the balance of spice, flavor, and umami is, it’s just right for me. It can be better, but still it’s great.
やっぱ好みの味。旨み>>香り、スープ黒め、雑味は多い?好みだけど完成度低い、Tripe, tendonは臭み強くてちょっと。スープ美味いが。Pho HoaよかDaisyとかのがずっといいが、ここしかなくても十分満足。
