"When a diner walks into the new location of Pho Viet’s, their eyes are drawn upward, toward appealing photos of several dishes on the extensive, affordable menu. Longtime regulars will notice that the restaurant has kept the numbers of the dishes the same over the years, so a No. 16 will still get diners a bowl of pho bo vien (pho with Vietnamese beef meatballs). Place an order at the counter, and the folks who have been working there for years will get to work preparing it. The food is then brought out to the table cafeteria-style on a tray, wholesome, satisfying food that Pho Viet’s customers have come to anticipate over more than 15 years of service." - Karen Wilber
