Grub: Vietnamese
Vibe: This doesn't look much like a Vietnamese restaurant. In fact, whatever they said was served here would be believable. Only the chopsticks on the table narrow the possibilities. The decor is very plain, with mirrors along the back wall giving a feeling of space. Service is prompt.
Who to take: The shopping party. Pho is on a little side street near Times Square, so it's great to retreat to when you need to refuel.
What's hot: There's a good range of tea-set deals on offer in the mid-afternoon, as well as the the lunch menu, which seems to be available all the way to dinnertime.
A wide range of pho options is available throughout the day, and the lunch menu gives the best selection, breaking choices broken down into sections.
The first section for is the basic forms of pho, with brisket, steak, flank, meatballs or combinations of them. The basic steak pho is very good. The soup is fresh, and the meat lean and plentiful, garnished with coriander and onions and set off perfectly with lime juice and some chili.
