What the Pho?

Vietnamese food would probably be my most favorite kind of Asian food of all time. Even though I'm not from Vietnam, I just love their foods very much. They taste very good. My most favorite kind would be Pho (Beef noodle soup). Today, I am going to write about a restaurant called "Loi's Vietnamese Restaurant". In my opinion, this place may not be the best Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco. The place is very small and crowded sometimes. I still go there a lot because their foods are good and prices are reasonable that fits your budget. 

Vietnamese Shrimp Rolls

The Vietnamese Shrimp Rolls are good. They only cost $3.95, unlike other restaurants where they cost about $5 for two rolls. My only concern is that the peanut sauce (sorry, I don't have the picture) does not taste good at all. The texture of the sauce was supposed to be thick but they made it thin and watery. I like the other kind of sauce more (shown in above picture). It taste better with the shrimp rolls. 

Special Beef Noodle Soup

I like the pho at this place. I eat this every time I go there. The bowl is at the right size, and I think it's the cheapest bowl of pho ever. The cost is only $3.95 for medium size! That's like the same price as the shrimp rolls. The bowl has the right amount of noodles and beef. I like to eat pho with some chili sauce. It adds up the spiciness to it. Also, the broth tastes really good. 

On my previous posts, I mentioned that I like noodles a lot. hehe. Well, if you are not a fan of pho, I recommend you try the Vietnamese BBQ pork over rice noodle. I don't have the photo of it, sorry about that. I like how the bbq pork tasted. It wasn't too salty and over burnt. I also like how they add a lot of vegetables. It comes with a special kind of fish sauce and tastes really good with the BBQ pork. 

Overall, I recommend you try the pho at this place. I mean, where else can you get a bowl of pho for $3.95? They taste really good and most customers order this. They come in 3 sizes (M, L, and XL), but medium size is already big enough for me to eat. The place may not look that clean, and the boss talks very loud all the time, but the pho is just so good!
