Pho shines with clear soup and plump noodles. The chicken, which is carefully prepared by the owner himself first thing in the morning, is chewy and juicy. The flavor of the chicken stock is so elegantly concentrated in the soup that you'll drink it all! The green papaya salad is topped with plenty of roasted and finely crushed peanuts, and when you put it on shrimp noodles and bring it to your mouth, the fragrant flavor will fill your mouth. Chae keeps it cool by topping it with iced mung bean dumplings instead of ice. Along with several kinds of tropical fruits, you can enjoy it cold and delicious until the last bite.
