Thanh Thao Restaurant

Went with a Vietnamese friend who knew how and what to order, and ended up trying so much new amazing food that I would have never known to get! Unfortunately I didn't know half of what was ordered, but I really enjoyed the rare beef salad (Bo Thai Chanh). There was another rare beef dish where you wrap it with herbs, the beef wrapped in leaves, sizzling beef cubes, baby clams, and more; everything we tried was delicious. Happy to have deviated from the standard pho/noodle bowls.

Ordered the pho special-it was ok- not bad, but not earth shattering great. Price is kinda expensive @ $14 and some change, you don't get a whole lot. Needed to get more noodles, which was an additional $3. Typical small Vietnamese joint with sticky floors, crusty menu and no service with a smile lol Will I be back? Maybe... only if my usual pho joints are closed and I'm having a late dinner... MAYBE.

This place is soooo good. Everything we got there was amazing. I recommend the brisket beef pho; tastes exactly like what you want when you want a GREAT bowl of pho (didn't get a photo of it because I had eaten it already LOL). Also I'm not entirely confident I'm remembering the names correctly but we got the grilled chicken combo, catfish, duck salad, and honey walnut prawns (different from the traditional Chinese style but still delicious). Also got the Thai iced tea ! They have several drinks & smoothies on the menu and we saw some people come in only to buy some drinks :P Either way definitely worth it to try sometime. The people that served us were really nice.
