Before it gets extra miserable concerning the heat index, I made it a priority to try Pho is for Lovers. This hard to miss shop, tucked in a standard shopping center across from the PetSmart on Greenville Ave., will surprise you. The atmosphere consists of simple white walls and just a handful of tables. The menu is fairly simple itself, offering mostly bahn mi sandwiches and pho.
I split the bahn mi with my friend Ryan, my usual weeknight restaurant partner in crime. We opted for the deli meat bahn mi- mistake. Nothing great about this version of the sandwhich. I should have known better.
BUT the pho was amazing. The broth was very flavorful, keeping afloat the noodles, fresh veggies, and yummy beefy meatballs, which was perfectly meaty and a little fatty.
(The beef pho I ordered, sorry it's a tiny bit blurry!)
(I'm sure their other bahn mi sandwiches are fine- the deli meat one is just not worth it.)
In addition to a bowl of pho as big as your face, you get a tiny plate of extras- jalapeño, lime, and basil. They were the perfect additions to the pho. I of course added all of them, and some sriracha.
(Yummy extras for your bowl of pho.)
This place would be THE perfect place for a bowl of hot, hearty soup on a rainy day. When it's not a hundred degrees outside. Hot weather and soup just don't mix people. Come mid- November, you need to get your pho on at this place!
