While my friends opted for the crab-and-tomato bún riêu, I wanted to try the beef pho because that is the standard... sort of like the margherita pizza of the soup world. There's a lot to love about the bowl... super-tender beef swim in a flavorful and slightly sweet broth spiked with a lime juice. That broth... it rivals Turtle Tower's soup. Soup Junkie should bottle that stuff!
As good as the pho is, it is a lunch I will not be indulging in every week. This is the smallest bowl of pho I have ever feasted on but it is also the most expensive at $9. Now that's still not a lot compared to other lunch options but as far as pho goes, this is a pricey bowl. The portion wouldn't seem so small if there was more beef but bites of tender beef flank were few and far between.
Nevertheless, Soup Junkie's beef pho is worth a try. You won't regret slurping up all that delicious broth, which is just what we all need on foggy summer days like these.
