Pho, Santa and BBC
I stopped by Pho Rancho for a pre-City Council meeting dinner last night. Opened four months ago at the Vons/Trader Joe's center on Haven, Pho Rancho is the fifth Vietnamese noodle shop in the city, to my knowledge.My pho on Wednesday came with "Here Comes Santa Claus" playing over stereo speakers and the BBC news on the overhead television. Not one of the four other customers seemed fazed. Why wouldn't you want to eat Vietnamese food while listening to Christmas music and learning about David Beckham's new Galaxy deal?
In addition to pho, Pho Rancho also serves rice, spring rolls and banh mi, or Vietnamese baguette sandwiches. Their banh mi, which comes with chicken, pork or beef, are $2.99. That makes me wonder what Subway, which is several doors down and boasts $5 foot-long sandwiches, thinks about the competition.
So, what exactly did you order? Hard to tell from the picture.
That's a bowl of vegetables and tofu pho. It's got broccoli, green peppers, carrots, onions, fried garlic and fried tofu. I also tasted the marinated chicken with rice. Both very good.
Yummy and cozy! Great for a rainy weekend.
There's an article in tomorrow's WSJ about the satisfaction of Asian noodle soups.
I'll be sure to check out that WSJ article. But reading about food always makes me eat even when I'm not hungry.
this could be dinner for tonight =)
thanks.
Feliz navidad was playing and wow... this place has a really crappy paint job. Who ever painted this place (probably the owners) didn't understand there's something called masking tape. Soup was a bit bland but I'd go back again to try other stuff.
Next time you're in the mood for Vietnamese without the Christmas music, you can also try Pho Ha on Hellman and Foothill at Chuck E Cheese center.
I have read some excellent stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot attempt you place to make one of these fantastic informative website.
Thank you, I have just been searching for info approximately this subject for a while and yours is the best I've discovered so far. But, what in regards to the conclusion? Are you sure about the supply?|What i don't understood is if truth be told how you are now not actually a lot more smartly-appreciated than you may be right now. You are so intelligent.
Wonderful site. A lot of helpful info here. I am sending it to some friends ans also sharing in delicious. And naturally, thanks on your sweat!
