This is another of the Pho-Bo-Ga chain of restaurants. This one shares the same menu as the others, but doesn't offer the "Special's" menu board. The soup-only menu is a basic array of beef soups as well as various sate offerings. It shares a parking lot behind the restaurant with Pho Bo Ga, where you can find crammed parking there if you come early enough. The cash-only payment method is limiting, so be sure to bring in the greenbacks or you'll be washing dishes in the back.

Being so much like other Pho
Being so much like other Pho Bo Ga's, it's hard to come up with something original to say about this place.
I had a sate pho with combination rice noodles and egg noodles, some bbq pork and some beef strips. Delicious as usual.
This place was fairly busy and service suffered because of it. Not overly slow, though.

Back to one of our usual
Back to one of our usual establishments in order to give it the review for our blog. No "Special's" menu board, so I couldn't order my usual "Special A" as at others in the Pho Bo Ga chain. But, I ordered a similar offering of Beef and Shrimp Sate w/ Egg Noodle.
The broth was nice and tasty and doesn't have the garlicly taste that Pho Bo Ga seems to have introduced lately. The hot (hot and cold hot) soup was still steaming even as I was finishing off the bowl. I almost drank all of the broth which is unusual for me as I usually leave a large amount left over.
The shrimp spring rolls appeared to be over-fried, as the edges of the wraps were noticeably white and crusty. There were 3 rolls per plate which was a bonus roll over others.
