6-1-Pho

Food is good, but the prices are a little high. I got the beef PHO with raw steak - I wish the steak was sliced a little thinner and not so well cooked. They put hot broth (or water?) in the bowl once, then drain it, and add hot broth again. This resulted in the noodles being a little overcooked. Also, the broth seems a little thin, would like a richer and more complex flavor. Plus I don't think they put any crispy shallots?!? I also wish there was slightly more protein, but, the $4.50 additional price for "extra meat" was just too much considering how much the soup costs to begin with. (And it looked like only a couple ounces, possibly even less 🤷🏻‍♂️) I can get an amazing bowl of TONKOTSU RAMEN, in the Tokyo airport for substantially less money - why are prices so high here in the US?!? Anyway, the the food is good and the only price that really upset me was the "Vietnamese Coffee" which was disappointing and thin - I do recommend trying this place for yourself at least once, and I will be going back - just not particularly often, unless they make some improvements. I find myself coming here to 6-1-PHO because my old favorite PHO place in the North Market has really declined in both quality and value since the ownership changed several years ago - that place USED to be an easy five stars.
