My husband and I typically go to Pho Lien Hoa and are big fans, but since they are closed for renovations, we decided to try another place instead!
To be honest, I was a little disappointed. We ordered a large pho with steak and brisket (#2). The broth was really good and flavorful, and the meat was tender. No complaints with the flavor at all! While the pho was good, I personally didn't think they gave us a lot of meat or noodles, especially for a large.
We also got a B4, a vermicelli noodle bowl with grilled pork and egg rolls. I have to say, both my husband and I thought the egg roll was fantastic!! So flavorful. It really surprised us. However, the lettuce was a little wilty, and the pork was on the dry and hard side. Not juicy or succulent. The flavor of everything was okay, and I did like the fresh crunch of the bean sprouts. However, compared to other vermicelli bowls I've ordered which have come with additional toppings like cucumbers, carrots, etc. and have been way larger, I was let down. :(
The staff working were nice and helpful! There were also a lot of tables and seating, so the diners were spread out and it didn't seem like you could hear the people's conversations from the table next to you.
Overall, the pho was good, the vermicelli bowl was just okay, and the portion sizes could have been bigger. I was full after sharing both bowls with my husband, but he was still pretty hungry! Not my first stop for pho/Vietnamese food in OKC.
