- Pho 79 gets its name from the "national noodle soup" of Vietnam (also called pho), which is a fragrant, spice-infused soup made primarily with beef and rice noodles. Common seasonings used in this soup include chiles, basil, cinnamon, and star anise. The soup base is similiar to a French consomme. Curries are also used in Vietnamese cooking, but they are less spicy than Indian or Thai varieties. Coriander is very commonly used to season--chili, on the other hand, is used in very small quantity. Spring rolls are an adaption from Chinese cuisine. However, in contrast they are not deep-fried, and are prepared largely without fat. The Vietnamese prefer seafood over meat, using an abundance of shrimp. One aspect of Vietnamese food is a very tasty fish sauce called "nouc mam" that is added to many dishes and used as a salad dressing.

Pho 79 is actually really good. I go there almost every week because it's fast and the food is good and I know I won't be disappointed by what I order. I always get #28 well cooked beef pho or #40 chicken noodle soup....and I always put a few basil leaves with some bean sprouts and a hint of lime with some plum sauce and hot chili sauce mixed into the broth. It's way tasty :) Oh and I always get this drink...it's #20, I don't know the name of it but it has coconut milk with a ton of sugar but that's what makes it tasty with chunks of herb jello and these green jelly looking things that look like worms, but it's jelly and it's very tasty. I like this place a lot and that drink hehe :)
