A few days after having pho with godbro XO at another restaurant in Causeway Bay, I was back in the area doing some more Chinese New Year shopping at a Chinese confectionery shop.  After I was done shopping at the confectionery shop on Pak Sha Road, I was a bit hungry and remembered that there's a pho restaurant on Lan Fong Road that I saw while getting off of the minibus earlier, so I decided to give it a shot.

The restaurant was quite crowded when I arrived a little before 5 in the afternoon, so I didn't take pictures of the decor.  The restaurant had some gimmicky posters on the walls, and the seats were spaced pretty close to each other.  Since it was quite crowded, I had to share a table.  They had some condiments available on the table; one of which was a bottle of Sriracha sauce and the other sauce was also in a Sriracha bottle, but it was a much deeper brownish red color, so I think they should have labelled this bottle since it doesn't look like it's Sriracha.
Looking through the menu, I saw that they are serving afternoon tea, and I could get a pho and a cold beverage by adding $3.  So, I decided to order the Steak Pho with a Cold Lemon Tea.

The Cold Lemon Tea was nothing out of the ordinary and had a similar quality to any tea cafe.

I liked the garnish they served with the pho, where they didn't skim on the quantity, and the bean sprouts were fresh and crunchy.

When I ordered the Steak Pho, the waitress said that they only had 金邊粉 (Thai rice noodles) and asked if I was ok with it, and I said yes. I was thinking that they only had the wider rice noodles, but when my Steak Pho arrived, I could see that it's the thin rice noodles that I'm used to. Maybe I'm confused as to which rice noodle belongs in an authentic pho.

The first thing I did when I got the Steak Pho was to try a spoonful of broth, and right there, I was disappointed.  The broth was the blandest I've had in recent years; there was a lack of salt, and the beef flavor was really faint.  The beef slices were not really tender, but I'll give it a pass since they didn't overcook it.  The only good part of the pho was the noodles, which was the texture that I liked.

Overall, the experience at Pho Vietnamese Restaurant was mediocre.  Both the food and the waiters felt very mechanical.  The food felt like it was cooked mechanically where the chef's heart wasn't in it, and the waiters looked like they were just going through the daily grind.  With other better pho choices available in town, I doubt I will return to Pho Vietnamese Restaurant.
