Kelly and I went to go to Noodle City, and it is closed for renovations, so we went to my number 2 Pho restaurant. This one is on the West side of the street and there is an alley just south which leads to a parking structure (or there is parking behind, but not very much). And expect a wait, because there are always people waiting.

This is a photo from my iPhone, so it could be better, but I ordered what I always get at Pho, and the usual which is Pho Tai, or rare steak in Pho broth. I got the large as I usually do.

This is a good and tasty Pho, though the broth isn’t quite as good as that at Noodle City, but still pretty good. The meat is different though, here there is actually more meat, and the meet is cut thinner, so there are many more pieces, which I do like. The noodles are nice and tasty, and the veggies and additions are all nice and fresh. This is delicious Pho and quite tasty, not my favorite (which is Noodle CIty) but certainly my second favorite.

The service is pretty fast, and you must remember that like Noodle City you need to pay at the front counter, though here you leave a tip at the table instead of the tip jar.

Well worth checking out.

A tasty and excellent Vietnamese Pho place in Cleveland. The restaurant is nice and clean, and large, with a good sized menu and good service.

Of course the Pho broth is not as good as what I get at Noodle City in Los Angeles, just too sweet, but still quite tasty. Pho is just such a light and refreshing meal. Honestly if I could get this for breakfast all the time I would eat breakfast more often.

My mother also ordered some shrimp which was wrapped on Sugar Cane, and was quite tasty, and a durrian drink, which was good, but way too sweet. Have to get some reel Durrian so she can try it sometime.

I have had better, but this is still very tasty, and well worth it if you are in Cleveland.

Parking here can be found in a few spots behind the restaurant, though there are not many spots. And you can enter from the back. If you go at normal dining hours the place is usually completely packed, and you can expect to wait, though usually not too long because the service is incredibly fast.

I have had Pho at a lost of places, and none compare to Noodle City. The Broth is literally heavenly. So incredibly tasty! And it is so cheap. 2 people can eat and get stuffed for about $10!

This is such a good value! Used to go here with my friends German, Ann, Maggie and Ashanti, and I have never stopped going. Even Kelly, my beautiful wife, agrees that this place has the best Pho, just wish we lived a little closer!
