Pho Metro (NYC)

Vietnamese food has something for everyone, and Pho Metro is no exception. For a pretty reasonable price I got a huge vermicelli noodle salad- in fact, it was too large for me to finish in a single sitting. Furthermore, the restaurant is very accommodating for dietary restrictions. They offered to replace the beef with tofu and brought soy sauce to replace the fish sauce. Our waiter, Darwin, was incredibly attentive and refilled our water as fast as we could drink it.

As for the vermicelli noodle salad- the tofu cubes were slightly fried, giving them a crispy skin to contrast the soft interior. Vermicelli rice noodles made up the bulk of the dish. They were light and very receptive to a slight bit of soy sauce and a hint of Sriracha. The bowl also came with fried spring rolls, which had a satisfying crunch. Presentation was also on point. If I was to air a single minor complaint - the ratio of vegetables to noodles was a bit off. In my opinion, a salad should be primarily vegetables, but this was excessively noodly. A single slice of cucumber, a small handful of greens, and a bit of julienned carrot do not constitute a "salad". But on the whole, I enjoyed the meal, and would definitely recommend it.

Food: 5/5

Price: 4.5/5
