REVIEW: HA PHO LONG

So it took 38 miles for us to meander along the south side from the north central part of town only to end up on the northwest side of town today at HA PHO LONG for lunch.  It helps to have a plan.  Well at least I wasn’t’ wasting MY gas. I tweeted for suggestions of places to eat but everyone was ALL LATE.  LOL.

No web address for this popular Vietnamese noodle shop across from Ingram Park Mall but the food has always been good.

Had the #11 and of course I have already forgotten what the meats are in this pho but whatever they were they were delicious.  Noodles were tender and the assorted meats were tender.  The garnishes were fresh and always add to overall flavor of the soup.

Their version of bubble tea is called boba tea.  Had the mango and it was super sweet and super delicious too.

So if you ever find yourself on a 38 mile trek around the city, head on over to HA PHO LONG and enjoy a big giant bowl of pho. I personally guarantee it.

PS:  What’s the difference between the large and small bowl---75¢.

PPS:  Next time I’ll try the soul cooking place this guy was hawking on his wearable cardboard sign.

PPPS:  Wait staff was super attentive and polite. When you go to an Asian restaurant and it is full of Asians, you know your meal will be good.  When you go to an Asian restaurant and it is empty of Asians, you know the place has been Americanized. This place was packed with Asian diners.

  1. I went to this place for the first time on Saturday on the recommendation of my Vietnamese friend. It was fantastic! The portions were huge and everything tasted wonderful. Glad to see you liked it also.
