It had been years since I had eaten pho. I used to hit a couple places a stone's throw from SFO, out on Camino Real, I think.

I now live in a city with a good sized Vietnamese population. A guy who goes to our church opened up a place called The Noodle House. I go with the beef and add the bean sprouts and cilantro and little bit of jalapeno. I skip the lime. I just wish there were forks as my chopstick skills make me dangerous to every diner within 10 feet. Each bowl comes with very nice spring rolls too.
