Hillcrest does Pho. And predictably, it's with style. You're met by an imposing faux marble Buddha as you enter, and looking around, you catch women in flowing ao dais.
The menu is quite reasonably priced, and while the food may not quite match the ambience, it's still quite good (as a matter of fact, Zagat rates it 'Very good to excellent').
The chicken pho was faultless (and msg-less), and the appetizer spicy lemongrass soup was delicious. Opinion on the flat Spicy noodles was divided however (I found it a bit bland)
Since, we don't do Vietnamese very often, every visit ends up being an occasion to get a pho-fix, but to the more adventurous gastronome, there're many options on the menu.
