summary | I've been to this place a few times and after every time I go I can never remember if it was good. So I decided to go last night. Firstly it has a very relaxed atmosphere, located on the corner, this restaurant is bigger than your average place and has inside and outside seating. I sat inside, but I did see heaters outside and also blinds that are pulled down to block wind. Each time I have been there, the wait staff have been very helpful and attentive. On first appearance I was a little worried that it wasn't going to be good. But the soup was absolutely delicious and rich with flavour, most soups are a bit diluted, but this soup was steaming and exquisite. The meat was a bit fatty, but it was tender and melted in your mouth. I was very surprised how good it tasted and I ate the whole bowl without realising! The western soup spoon did not help (I'm sorry I hate western spoons for Pho), nor did the bitter coffee. Although delicious on a cold winter's night, I don't think I will be craving in a hurry. But definitely worth a look!
