Pho Nguyen Vietnamese Noodle
I’ve had pho at a lot of places, all over the country, ranging from subpar to excellent. Most of it has to do with the broth. This place is excellent. They really know how to do it. The pho is the best I’ve had in the area. This is the second time this week I’ve been in for lunch. Service is fast and friendly. They’ve got me hooked. Get the pho tai. You won’t be sorry!
I recently had the opportunity to dine at Pho Nguyen Vietnamese Noodle Restaurant, and I must say that my experience was a mixed bag. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the service was friendly and efficient, creating a pleasant dining environment. However, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed with the dish I ordered, the Shrimp Chicken Fried Rice. The presentation was decent, portions were good, but the taste left much to be desired. The chicken in the dish seemed to be overcooked, giving it a slightly dry and boiled texture. This made it less enjoyable than I had hoped for. The shrimp also had a mushy texture, which was not very appealing. What disappointed me the most was the overall flavor of the dish. It lacked the vibrant and bold flavors that I associate with Vietnamese cuisine. The dish, in general, tasted rather bland and was missing the harmonious balance of spices and seasonings that I had anticipated. While I believe that every restaurant can have its off days, I'm might be open to giving Pho Nguyen another chance in the future. The restaurant's ambiance and service were pleasant, and it's possible that other menu items may better showcase their culinary expertise. Despite my experience with the Shrimp Chicken Fried Rice, I'm hopeful that other dishes at Pho Nguyen could still deliver an authentic and flavorful Vietnamese dining experience.
Philippine Market & Cafe
I love me a low-key, no-frills place to eat. This spot has it. It took me a moment to figure out where to go in. They were packed. I knew why though. The buffet had so much incredible food I walked away with a first plate over flowing because I couldn’t decide on what I wanted. If you’re a Filipino food expert, you may have some major opinions. This southern white girl just knows that everything smelled and tasted good. I don’t remember the last time I had Filipino dishes to even compare. I’ll be back.
Came to visit my aunt and she told me about getting lunch and a few Filipino sweet breads from here. The lady at the cashier was very helpful and pleasant. They serve a buffet lunch from 11 am to 2 pm according to other reviews. We got there before 11 and the place was full. We didn’t stay but got a to go box(about $13.00/box based on my receipt ). The selections were great from pork /chicken bbq, various pancit, vegetable lumpia, lumpia shanghai, mungo with ampalaya leaves(this was what we came for and they provided a styrofoam cup for it which was very convenient), Filipino fried chicken,and kare-kare(that could use more peanut sauce though the veggies were done well) and much more if you look at the pictures included on this post. I would like to stay and dine in next time.
