There are 3 Pho Cuong locations, but this is the only one I have been to. The broth for the Pho is flavorful and the beef has never been tough. Their rice dishes with BBQ beef and pork are very good, with lots of rice and vegetables, and come with the same good broth. I don't like their ruamitr dessert; it's not sweet, as what I am accustomed to in eating Thai desserts with similar ingredients, although the red bean one is good. They will put anything in the Pho you want; just tell them. The menu is not limiting in terms of which of the ingredients you want in your soup. The food is consistently great and you get very large portions at a very low cost; great for lunch! They have pretty fast service, even when they are busy. I used to eat there several times a week. I'm down to 1-2 times every 2-3 weeks now, but the food is the same great food every time I go. PS This place has sesame balls with mung bean inside, 3 for $1 and they are crispy if you eat them right away so get them before they run out (around 12:30-2 they will run out; they don't have them on weekends, but most weekdays they do). Terrific!!
