a lovely surprise. i tried beef pho for the first time about a year ago at lac viet (in the north market) and instantly became addicted. but thatplaceisn't convenient, so i began exploring other options. i decided to try huong, based on these reviews, and i am so glad i did.
we had take out, and i was pleased to see that the lean pieces of thinly sliced beef were raw, as is proper--the great thing about the dish is the way the beef quickly poaches in the delicious broth. the basil and cilantro were abundant and perfectly fresh, and the broth was obviously homemade and had wonderful depth. . one bowl could easily have served two people.
on a side note, the egg rolls were very crispy and delicious.
i can't wait to go back. try it, you'll like it.
