6. Pho 2 Tō

I added this restaurant to my food tour under the guise that they had this boiling pot of pho which I have been interested in for a while, but the nearest one was about the same distance as this location.

While I thought the pho was good, it wasn't amazing. I thought the broth was hearty though and it had everything I usually would want in a bowl of pho, but it wasn't presented in this boiling pot and that really was the whole reason for being there. The overall restaurant was good, but honestly, you have to enter the restaurant from the back where there is trash and rusty chairs and buckets of water, and there are a lot of things in the back that I personally wouldn't want to see as the diner.

I questioned how clean it was and why you couldn't use the front door, or why it said there were no bathrooms on the premises, but then saw bathroom signs. The most off-putting is the toxic smell of purple Fabuloso and other items that were mixed together in a spray bottle and being used to clean tables after each table was cleared.

Fabuloso has a strong, distinct smell, and it isn't something that I want being sprayed around me, especially when I am eating. Yes, this is a sign that they are at least cleaning, but that spray shouldn't be used to clean tables while people are eating.

The food was good, but those were the issues. Would I return...probably not. There are a lot of Vietnamese places and Asian fusion places that serve pho, and I have had so many so I can say I just wasnt "wowed", but I did think thr pho was very good (4/5 stars).

I was intrigued by this boiling pot, which to me seemed similar to the Mexican Molcajete, but it didn't really deliver for me. It was a cute restaurant on the inside from what I saw located in the Mills 50 District.
