I enjoy going to Pho Linh. The menu can be a little difficult to interpret, but it's fairly simple once you figure it out. Instead of listing different ""options"" for the same dish, the menu shows things as separate dishes. I typically only get one dish when I go there, so I haven't ventured through the entire menu. In all the times I've been there, only one lady has ever worked as the hostess/waitress/server/cashier. She does a great job. The food is good and is cheaper than fast food. Places like this almost make me feel guilty for paying so little!
In addition to the food, there's always good people-watching near San Mateo and Central. Castle Mega-store is right next door. If you're staying at the Desert Sands, this restaurant should be a no-brainer. I'll definitely be going back for more!
Pros: VERY affordable.
Cons: Dicey parking lot.
