September 06, 2024Pho Ao Sen is a gem for anyone craving comforting Vietnamese dishes! 🍜
The broth in the pho is simply stellar - clean and packed with umami flavor. My partner and I shared a pho dac biet ($14.50), and it didn’t disappoint. We also indulged in the crispy chicken wings, which were tasty and perfectly seasoned.
Despite the new location feeling a bit more upscale than the previous vibe, it still retains a casual atmosphere with relaxed jazz music. It's family-friendly, with enough tables to accommodate groups. Just a heads up, the iced Vietnamese coffee was heavily iced, so, if you love it strong - beware! 😅
