CASH ONLY! Excellent pho broth here, perhaps the best I've had. Don't expect a fancy pants atmosphere here. You get straight-up good authentic Vietnamese dishes here, that's it. Order quickly, eat faster, pay and get out so others aren't waiting at the door for a table... If you wanna chit chat go to a cafe. Always busy, but that's a good thing!
