Beth:

This is going to be a quick one, because there isn't much worth talking about here. We went back in December, and the details are a little fuzzy. But trust me, you won't be missing much.

We were initially hopeful when we entered Anh Hong Pho Pasteur... We were in a new, uncharted pho neighborhood, and we were so close to K Sandwiches. People who like Banh Mi don't put up with sub-par pho, right?

So we went in... The decor was pretty wild. One wall had neon beer signs on it, there was some ridiculous plastic gate with golden dragons dividing the dining area, one wall had murals of life in rural Vietnam... Also, a very dirty tank of crustaceans. A little tacky, but nothing particularly alarming to people who have been all over the pho scene in this town.

The menu made us (myself, Katie, Matus) very hopeful- they had a 7-color drink in addition to the usual 3-color! Maybe something fun and unique was going on here. Maybe we were about to have a great pho experience!

...


Not so much.

So, not as bad as Bolsa, but not really worth the time. Nothing was particularly bad, or gross. But it just didn't leave us with a very good impression. The broth was particularly mediocre- a bit bland.

Katie finished her bowl, but I didn't... After all, we were about to go get some sweet, sweet Banh Mi.

Bottom line... We didn't find it remarkable enough to post about it right away, and the fact that we don't remember much about it now should tell you that you may not want to waste your time. Just go get some Banh Mi. Or drive to Mira Mesa or PB.

6 spoons out of 10.
