BYOB. Pho. Cha Gio. Very happy to see this new Vietnamese dining option in the neighborhood. This place used to be Chinese take-out, but has reopened with a new name, menu and decor. I called up and asked if they have wine. Not yet. But would they allow a BYOB? Sure, no problem. The seating area is inviting with black tables, a pretty chandelier and an enthusiastic waiter who will take your order at a table for dine in or the counter for take out
My husband and I brought our own corkscrew and we were presented with large water-glasses for the wine. The menu is a mix of Vietnamese standards – Bun, La Sa Ga and Pho mixed in with some Thai and various Americanized Chinese dishes. I ordered the Pho and was overall happy. The broth was not that developed or rich (you know the good stuff with roasted bones and a shimmer of fat on top) but it was was flavorful, with all of the right spices. The serving size was huge, with basil, bean sprouts, hoisin and siracha on the side. The raw beef on top cooked slowly in the broth when it was presented to the table, as it should. I found it to be tender and flavorful. The Cha Gio was nice and crispy, served with lettuce for wrapping. My husband got Noodles, #55, hot and spicy curry broth. It was very spicy (hot) and delicious with huge shrimp.
Our bill: ~$20. (You can't get a snack and two glasses of wine across the street for less than $30). But I guess you pay for ambiance hence. . . the gripe: there were several MTA workers who just got off work and came to get some dinner. They were pretty loud and foul-mouthed until my husband gave them a look. They work a 16 hour day and need a place to have some grub- I get it, but seriously, this place is not serving chicken wings in Styrofoam as was the previous tenant so basic manners are in order.
