With a name like Pho Show, half the fun is in the name (and making corny 40 Year Old Virgin jokes. Easy Steve Carell.) There's a steady lunch crowd but never had a wait.
I usually go with the regular combination pho with tripe, tendon, brisket, meat balls, and rare beef and eggrolls. Sounds like a lot? Don't worry. You only get two pieces of each listed meat. Oh no! Worried that you'll have a horrible ratio of noodles to meat? Oh, don't worry. You only get a small handful of noodles too. Meh. You get a weight watcher's XS portion of everything. Sweet. God's way of telling me to ease up fatass or do more coke like a responsible adult.
The eggrolls are measly and strangely similar to those at chinese restaurants rather the more traditional flavors that viet eggrolls carry - there's no vermicelli, pork flavor, and those crunchy black things.
But the question is, is it still passable? Let me phrase my answer carefully... with enough sriracha and condiments, you can turn any bland bowl of broth into an acceptable meal. Being one of the only 3 pho places on the westside, I suggest you start learning how to mask your tastebuds. Adjust accordingly.
Pros: Opens till 2. Delivers.
Cons: Small portions. Not as flavorful as the SGV.
