"Pho at Chef Pho and Peking Roast Duck: Stick with the fried rice, the fried dumplings, or even the General Tso’s chicken at this semi-elegant Hell’s Kitchen spot, and you’ll have a fine meal. But don’t tarry in the Vietnamese soup division of the menu. There, you’ll find several versions of pho in which principal ingredients are baby corn (seemingly pulled from a can), barely cooked button mushrooms, and green bell peppers, which send the flavor spinning off in a completely undesirable direction." - Robert Sietsema
