Lunch Selection

We went to the restaurant on a pretty chilly day. We wanted some soup so we decided to check the place out. Their menu had a good amount of options but not too much to the point where you get overwhelmed. For appetizers we had their fried spring rolls with shrimp and meat. It is served with lettuce, mint and a dipping sauce. These three components work really well together.

For the main entree we had their house specialty, The Madame Pho. According to their menu, the beef broth is simmered for 24 hours and served with rice noodles, brisket, eye round, bone marrow and meatballs. The herbs and meat are placed into the bowl first. The beef is slightly raw and when they pour the hot broth over the meat, it is cooked instantly. This also helps create more flavor. The dish comes with bean sprouts, basil and lime on the side so you can season your dish accordingly. The soup is rich in every way possible. The broth has amazing flavor and mouth feel. All of the ingredients within the dish compliment each other.

We had their Vietnamese iced coffee for a drink and is super delicious.
