婆婆河粉小館 - PopoPhở("Popo" (婆婆) means grandma; paired with Phở, the name reads as "Grandma's Phở.")
A Vietnamese pho shop with a warm atmosphere. Beef bone broth and a hot-and-sour broth are the stars, and the pho portions are generous. Bean sprouts and basil come on a separate plate for you to add yourself, and chili sauce and lemon juice are on the table for seasoning.
Good for✓People who want pho made the traditional Vietnamese way✓Friends gathering where atmosphere matters✓People who want a light meal
Not for✗Not for:People who want bold Southeast Asian seasoning

The beef bone broth carries a hint of clove and is light rather than overly salty. The beef slices are thick, the rice noodles are chewy and generous in portion, and the spring rolls are crispy.
