To me Pho is always really good - it's really easy make, there are just variations of different bowls, and all the condiments are pretty much serve yourself. The broth is just heavenly, no matter if you go with risqué or plain jane ingredients for your meat. Spring or Egg rolls are a must - and if you manage to wait for a few minutes, can be had along with your large bowl of pho. What sets many Pho places apart are their level of service and decor. While Pho Sao Bien retains the "high school lunchroom" approach to Pho dining decor, it does have some interesting photos and knickknacks around to keep it interesting. The service there is above average for a pho place, the waiters are always there to fill up your water or take another drink order (they have several unique Thai, Sing and Philli beers as well), and are very friendly. I never feel as if I haven't gotten my fill there, and am always happy to pay the check with a generous tip.
