Honest verdict on Pho — good but not exceptional

Pho here was solidly made — clean and deeply savoury without anything to complain about. lemongrass was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Vietnamese cuisine shows French colonial influence alongside traditional Southeast Asian techniques. The a Hoi An restaurant atmosphere was pleasant enough. fresh sugarcane juice was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Pho this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
