Pho @ NoDa

Pho @ NoDa on North Davidson Street draws comparison to Saigon from people who lived there, which is the review that matters for a restaurant like this. Bun bo hue is the dish that gets the strongest praise, with a broth people rank against Houston, and the meat portions are generous. The room is clean and bright, the staff are warm with children, and the house chili oil is made in the kitchen and sold to regulars.
