Since B is still out on vacation, and J and I have both had colds this past week, we decided it was a good time to try Old Saigon Pho in Southcenter's industrial park.I had a dish called "Vegetarian Delight" that was mostly comprised of cabbage and tofu swimming in a sad, watery, half-peppered sauce, floating around a bed of white rice. It was literally, the most depressing thing I've ever eaten.
To make matters worse, it seemed that everything I touched had a sticky film - the salt shaker, the table, the ponzu bottle, the rooster sauce bottle, the backs of the fake flowers on our table, even some of the guests looked sticky.
J had the "give me the cow" beef noodle pho which included a variety of cow bits in a steaming bowl of beef "from the can" broth. He seemed depressed as well. All of this had us wishing we had gone to Sizzler instead.
To make up for all this sadness, a trip to Red Mango was in order. The fro yo with the Golden Grahams helped make up for the sadness of lunch.
Why, oh why can't Pho Than Brothers (best pho in town, hands down) put a location on the southend? It's been terrible trying to find good pho in this area. If anyone has a suggestion - please, let us know.
Food: 0/5
Atmosphere: 0/5
Good times: 2/5 (thanks to J and fro yo)
