Phở Thắng Café

My favorite Vietnamese place! I’ve tried quite a few dishes and enjoyed them all, which is why I keep ordering different dishes. The one time when my chicken cabbage salad was too fishy the owner apologized and told me to come back anytime to get something else which I did. I appreciate that kind of service and that’s partly what keeps me coming back!

I have been to most Vietnamese restaurants around Cleveland and haven’t ventured to this one because it’s located in downtown. In terms of the food, I have to say the one dish I ordered was excellent! I had their special rice plater(cơm bì sườn chả trứng ốp la). The other ingredients are standard, but the meat was delicious! It was moist, balanced between sweet and salty, and a nice subtle hint of lemongrass. Their meal also includes a nice broth to go with it. This is very traditional Vietnamese. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because parking was difficult to find and I didn’t know where the entrance was for pick up. I had to drive around for 10 minutes before I find it. Despite me being 10 minutes late, they didn’t know what my order was and didn’t even have it ready. I had to show them my receipt! Overall, if you work in downtown, this would be a great place for Vietnamese food and I would highly recommend it.

The food was OK Clean was OK, but the fly was flying Service was ok Open later needs food you need to know here
