Their pad thai is pretty good, but doesn't taste like pad thai. It's kinda sour & tomato-y but still really delicious. (I could send you a pic if you want) My friends and I love coming here for their chicken curry though! haha, yeah I agree with richie that their pho isn’t impressive.

This was a regular place during my college day. I never knew the name and my friends and I called it Choo-choo. they have a train around the top part of the wall, near the ceiling. The raw meat thinggie, comes with a sauce that we would add hot sauce and pour it on top of the raw meat. They have a few other good app.. I just don't remember them... I like the meat in grape leave thing. The Pho, when I was in H.S. I was told is the biggest Pho around. I was hoping to see a small bath tub for a bowl.. I was a little disappointed when the size wasn't as big as I thought, but it was still a big size bowl. It's not bad, but it's not the best pho. It's a good enough kind of pho but the size makes up for it. This is a good place for a large group of friends for dinner. The food are cheaper than most places in Chinatown and it's has pretty good food (as long as you know what to order) I haven’t been to this place in awhile.

Tell me people wouldn't pay $16 at Chifa for that. @richie, glad I didnt go for the pho

Do try the snails with the lemon grass and basil. It's one of the best preparations ....much tastier than the chinese version in black bean sauce that you typically find at dimsum. They sprinkle the fried shallots over the snails too and it makes it extra yummy. The “raw beef” apptz (that’s how I refer to that dish amongst my friends) is always a winner.
