Pho Thang Long – Westminster

Upon entering the massive stainless, open-late, double-doors of this credit card accepting place you’re greeted by a large, framed “we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.” warming.

Pho Thang Long has an unusually nice atmosphere. An almost unnoticeable water-wall and a fancy pants high ceiling like some hollowed out bank is nothing I’d ever seen or expect in a Vietnamese joint. I feel like they’re going to bring me out my lockbox along with some pho.
Pho Tai Chin (#5?) is my favorite. A large bowl seems like you get the same amount of food…. floating in more broth. hmmm… slick. However, it’s pretty good for restaurant pho. I’ve only tried a few of the rice dishes here, and they do not seem up to par with the similarly priced restaurants nearby.

Remember that warm, framed welcome you had at the door? EXPECT the standard Vietnamese waiter’s slightly annoyed, I-might-spit-in-your-pho attitude. As my Cuz says: “that’s why at Vietnamese places you’re allowed to tip 50 cents.”
