I LOVEEEEE PHO!
I can't begin to describe how perfect this pho is.
Under 6 dollars for a HUGE portion.
You get lots of meat, lots of noodle, lots of soup... LOTS OF EVERYTHING!
This is what pho is suppose to taste like..
If you haven't tried pho, I highly suggest you go to this one.
Pho will never taste the same to you again.
Walking by this places makes me want to have pho...
Though I have heartbroken when deciding between Pho Y across the street and this pho place, my heart doesn't ache so much after I sit down and eat my pho!
They also have asian green waffles here which are just toasted to perfection. Perfectly brown and crisp. I'm sure the smell will make you want it enough as is.
PLUS, the service here (for once) is NOT your typical asian service. People here seem to enjoy their work and have a fun time serving and talking to you. This place is amazing or what?!
People thought this was:
I bet this place gets good business because Boiling Crab's wait is always so long. On a Friday night, the wait was estimated at 2.5-3 hours for a party of two!!! If you give up there, you can come right over there; it's just steps away.
When you walk in, the first whiff you get is of WAFFLES. It's the weirdest feeling because you expect to smell beef broth until you see the table with four waffle makers right in the front. They're the green kind which apparently contains coconut mik. They're only $1 here and if you order them, they'll make it fresh and it's soooooo worth it.
Anyhow, I only had $21 in cash and that was enough to get us a small bowl of pho, a large bowl of pho, and an order of spring rolls plus tax and tip. Later we found out that they do also accept credit cards. They are very generous with the noodles, the broth is flavorful but still quite MSG-laden, and the meat I'm on the fence about (I had good and bad pieces). The peanut sauce for the spring rolls was the best because they include tiny diced red peppers which gives it a kick.
The restaurant looks small at first, as if it would only hold 15 people, but there's a walkway to the side that leaves to a spacious back part of the place. Service is fast and they keep their thumbs out of your soup.
People thought this was:
I love pho! I love this place!
-Fresh
-Huge portions- I cant finish a large, lots of meat, onions, noodles, broth
-good selection
-good prices
-they have good pancakes, not american style

It's cold outside and it seems like whenever the weather changes, I get a nasty cold to match. Where do I go for a little relief? On the East Side, there's only one answer: I go for pho.
Beef Noodle #1 definitely gives its neighbor Pho Y #1 a run for its money. The broth is tasty and the beef is tender. Not as tasty as Pho Y, but that could just be personal preference.
I ordered the small and it's definitely plenty of phood. A squirt of Sriracha later and I'm slurping up the stuff while the familiar throat scalding ensues; it's soothing in a painful way.
It's definitely not the cleanest eatery. That - I'll warn you about.
What makes them special? They have more than just pho. They have side dishes and I was happy to learn they serve pandan waffles! I got one to-go and am happy to say I'll be back - if only for my chewy green waffle fix.
People thought this was:
Tastiest pho broth in San Jose. Squeeze a little lime, toss in some jalapenos, and a nice squeeze of Sriracha and you've got a sodium-laden flavor binge!!
I have had pho all up and down this state, from San Francisco to LA to San Diego, and among all my favorite pho places, this ranks pretty high.
The menu is surprisingly big for the size of the restaurant (which is teeny tiny) and includes everything from rice plates to egg rolls to sandwiches.
IMPORTANT: I asked for my rare steak on the side, and they obliged. I hear this is a health-department no-no. Well screw that. I like my pho steak medium rare to medium, suckas.
A large bowl is $6.95, so it's a bit on the pricier side of pho.
The thai tea here was great, although they served it with a bit too much ice. The boba was not super chewy or "QQ" as they say in chinese, so a little minus there.
The only drawback (which is hardly the fault of this shop) is that in general, when you have pho, you get hungry a few hours later. I swear! I'm not just a beast!
I ordered a small pho tai ($5.95 for small and $6.95 for large) and it was okay. However, the meat was a little tough like it was overcooked a bit. Maybe it was just my bowl with the tough meat. The broth was okay to me and the service was not too bad.
This place was small and the table felt kind of sticky or at least had the "clean up the table with a wet towel" residue on the surface.

After a night drinking, all I need to get me back to normal is the #1 and a can coke. By far, this is the best hang over cure ever. I heart you for being so close to my pad and I heart you for having some tables outside.
This past Sundays trip really hit the spot, they are now serving the green waffles. At first I was… Read more »
I'm a pho lover. Honestly. If I had to choose one dish to eat for the rest of my life, it'd be pho. Sadly, that would be a short life, because it's definitely not the healthiest.
So here it is, a not-so-healthy soup deliciously prepared by Beef Noodle No. 1. I'm a stickler for hot, savory pho broth, and Beef Noodle has made it into an art. I could take their pho and put it into a thermos and sip on that all day. Gross, huh?
Their pho tai is delicious, perfectly prepared noodles and slices of steak. Ordered the egg rolls too, which were wonderfully crisp and fresh. And I HAD to pick up a couple of the green pandan waffles. Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside.
Beef Noodle is a gem, close to home, and the service isn't terrible. My pho cravings were satisfied, and then some.
People thought this was:
Best pho place ever, hands down.
i came here expecting something good -- it's a run down vietnamese pho place located in a strip mall in the vietnamese part of town, and i love eating at hole-in-the-wall places, but the meal i had was simply unacceptable.
the broth was average. it was tasty, but not mind blowing. i prefer the broth at thanh my in westminster. it's a good deal though, compared to thanh my; the bowl is larger and they do fill it up with a lot of noodles and soup. there were a few large gristly pieces of meat in mine, which i didn't enjoy. they also watered down the sriracha, which is a huge no-no for me.
the real problem with the meal wasn't the average pho or the watered down sriracha. about halfway through the meal, i found a rather plump fruit fly underneath all of my noodles. perhaps that's the secret? i got pissed when the waiter suggested that i had allowed the fly to fall into my bowl. they comped my bowl, but i couldn't help but think that maybe they could've done more, since we all know the broth comes from a communal pot.
anyway, i probably won't be coming here again. i think i'll stick to the pho ga at kim long, haha.
good luck to those who eat here :)
Advice: Don't order the small bowl, get the large one.
I went here with a friend for breakfast since I had to take her to the airport and she's gonna be on an 8 hours flight so need to be fed.
Place redesign a little bit but still not the best looking Pho Restaurant. Like I said before, it look like a Drive Thru Pho place with the Kitchen in the middle of the restaurant. Haven't ate here in awhile and since it's breakfast, I just order the regular bowl. Damn, the regular bowl is like for kids. They only got two size, Large and regular/small. I don't think I'd ever ordered the regular size before.
Anyways the Pho was as good as I remember. I love the flavor of the soup and they add more meat now than I last remember. The veggies came out very fresh. I haven't had good Pho in awhile, eating at some other Pho places wasn't my plan.
This is still my favorite Pho place in San Jose along with Pho Tau Bay on Hostetler.

This is my favorite Ph restaurant of all time. What defines a good bowl of Ph is by the broth - and this place by far has the best soup base I've ever had in a bowl of Ph.
As someone mentioned earlier, this bowl of Ph won't BLOW you away but what you will eventually realize as you walk away, let it sink in that Beef Noodle No 1 serves hands-down the best, cleanest, and freshest Ph you have ever tasted. It took me years of Ph eating all over the Bay Area, Westminster in SoCal, and other locales to finally decide upon Beef Noodle No 1 being the heavyweight champion of Ph!
Definitely get a large, as the bowls are slightly on the small side.
I've had their selection of Bánh mì before, but it was just marignal. Stick to the Ph! This is what this place is known for!
FOOD:
1. Pho = It's true what my Viet friend says, the dirtier the place, the better the food. I would come here, but I'm an atmosphere kinda gal, and I feel the turn into their plaza a little more awkward than Pho Y across the street
SERVICE:
Regular pho service
ATMOSPHERE:
A little dirtier and cramped, but you can sit outside.

A girl friend brought here originally back in the day and I can safely say that the Pho was pretty good. Fresh side vegetables and really good noodles, at least thats the way it was a couple years ago. I think this might be one of the top 3 Pho restaurants that I know of in San Jose.
Understand that I usually order my Pho with tendons and tripe, along with the usual rare beef. So I get the best deal and plenty of protien. The place is not huge, but a decent size. Quick seating and service as is most Pho restaurants. This place is probably good enough to serve my "last Pho meal." Haven't been here in a while, because the choice of Pho restaurants is so vast. Prices maybe a little higher than the place across the street, Pho Y #1? Which I also recently reviewed.
People thought this was:
Ive been coming here ... for I dont know how long. Being native san jose-an Ive tried so many pho places around here AND in the city. San Jose by far has the best pho around and beef noodle one always delivers without that weird sluggish, thirsty feeling of msg after.
Ive only tried their pho there, but they just recently expanded their menu to rice plates, various viet sandwiches, and other noodle soups. If you order something other than pho dont expect to get your food at the same time as others, they have to walk all the way to the restaurant right next to boiling crab to get those items.
Dont expect superior service either, I mean come on its a vietnamese pho place, the best service you'll ever get is if they even acknowledge you after your food has been served.
All in all Great pho, ehh service ...
This restaurant has the best pho, and it comes as close to my family's pho as anyone can get. Don't let the interior and gaudy "EXOTIC TASTE" sign fool you. I've been coming here since I was six years old, and the pho has been consistently good.
Service--are you kidding me? This is an old, hole-in-the-wall, Vietnamese pho establishment. You are lucky you can even see into the kitchen. They take your order, bring you your food and water, and you pay. Then you go home, full and happy from eating their delicious pho.
For some American tastes, the broth might be too flavorful and salty. And if you have a demanding diet (vegetarian, vegan, etc.), you should probably go elsewhere and spend a little bit more money in those other establishments.
People thought this was:
I rate this 4.25. Probably my favorite pho joint in the area. The broth is really good I could sip a gallon of this stuff, haha, just kidding...I can. Not the cleanest place but fuck it, right? You're here for the taste. I always order the combination bowl and I come out satisfied as fuck when I'm done eating. The pho with game hen is really good too, comes with sweet fish sauce for dipping. Bowls are cheap, service is quick, and plenty of parking. Forget the rest, just come eat here. 2 to 1 ratio I'd come here over Pho Y #1 (which is across the street).
Hands down the best pho I've ever had, and I've been pho'ing it up all across the Bay for a good 5 years now.
The thing about this place is that the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Nothing will really blow you away while you're eating it, except for the fact that its very clean and that all the ingredients are solid with no weaknesses. However, once you're done, you realize just how great this pho was.
Every time I'm in the area, I make it a point to come here.
P.S. It's way better than Pho Y.
Crazy good! By far the best Pho in town. Service is fast. Food is inexpensive.
I like:
Pho w/ beef - broth taste like homemade broth not bullion or some other weird broth fakeness.
After a 1 hour and 45 minute wait for the Boiling Crab across the parking lot (an hr of which we spent in the Target across the plaza), my friends and I decided to give this place a shot.
Out of the 7 of us, 4 ordered regular beef noodle with brisket(after all, we were at beef noodle no 1), 2 ordered cold Vietnamese noodles, and 1 ordered a special. I, myself, had beef noodle - #14. I thought the soup base was a little salty, but that could have just been me. My friends actually thought it was a bit tasteless. Overall, it was decent pho - but I wouldn't say it is much different from pho hua or any other pho franchise. However, the cold Vietnamese noodles looked delicious! If we are ever down in SJ, I would want to give it a shot!
Besides the food , the place was dingy and very cramped - we were practically backed up against the table behind us- and the service was very poor. Be it that the waiters could barely speak English, or that we had to ask for our water 3-4 times before it actually came, the service SUCKED. Oh well...
One last thing to add: The story of the green goo.
As we were waiting for our food, one of the waitresses pulled a tub of green goo out of what I thought was the cleaning cabinet, and proceeded to ladle/pour it into a container on one of the dining tables. My friends and I looked at each other kind of wide-eyed, but decided we wouldn't ask any questions.
A few minutes later, a delicious waft of sweetness filled the restaurant, not helping to appease the grumbling in our stomachs while we were waiting for our food to be served...Some of my friends began to crave after dinner ice cream, and I wouldn't have objected.
Little did I know that the green goo was in fact batter for their green waffles, which were actually quite delicious! And cheap too! After dinner, we each purchased one for $1. It was a lot of fun watching them make the waffles, although it did worry us a little about the hygiene, but YUM! Warm and slightly sweet, they were the perfect after dinner snack!
After reading some of the other reviews for this restaurant, I'm glad we decided to try it! We thought that most of the customers were overflows from the Boiling Crab, but it's great to know that this is actually one of the best Pho places in SJ.
My favorite pho place to go. Most of the time when I eat at other pho places I'm always wishing I was here instead LOL The beef broth is sooo good. Slightly on the oily side but so good. Your order comes out really fast but once or twice my noodles felt a bit undercook. That's the only thing that I cant think of that's bad.
I only get pho here. I've gotten the springrolls and the fried eggroll before but they were ok nothing special. Also, all the non pho stuff comes from the restaurant next to the boiling crab.
So 5 stars for the pho and 3 for the spring roll and eggrolls.
The pho here is really good, but the service is terrible!
I came here for lunch with a group of friends. We were able to choose where we want to sit. The server handed us the menus. A few minutes later, he came back asking for our orders. I decided to order a small bowl of pho with round steak for $5.95.
When the server ask for our drinks, I told him I wanted hot tea. One of my friends ordered an avocado drink.
Our pho came out in about 5 minutes. Our drinks still hasn't come out yet. The server also brought over a plate of bean sprouts, basil, and lemon slices. There was a decent amount of noodles. The pho broth was very flavorful. The round steak slices looked lean, and it was tender. The pho here is better than the one across the street.
I was getting thirsty, and I was wondering if they forgot about our drinks. I asked a server, and he responded 'its coming'. About 15 minutes later, the drinks still hasn't come out. I noticed all the new customers were getting ice water or other drinks right away. We had to flag down the server at least 4 times before we got our drinks. My friend got her avocado drink when she was done with her meal!!
Overall, I thought the pho here is really delicious. I'm not sure if I'll come back based on the terrible service.
Pho lovers, welcome! =)
Don't like pho? That's okay. You're welcome, too!
It's nice to know that this pho place offers other Vietnamese dishes OTHER than just pho (unlike Pho Y across the street). They offer a nice variety of stuff and are pretty good. Not bad for a place that specializes in pho.
I will come here if I come with friends who want something other than pho, but most of the time I'll make my way to Pho Y (my taste buds prefer it).
The last time I was here the place cleaned itself up a lot from how it used to be. Clean establishments are always a plus!
This place is worth stopping by. =) MMM... I want some pho right now! =P
#1 - Pho w/ rare steak on the side
- Noodles were thin, stuck together and slightly overcooked.
- Soup was on the salty side
Interior was rather cramped and stuffy...maybe it was because it was raining outside? ...they had no A/C when I came by during the summer months...
...if you order fried items (i.e. egg rolls, shrimp cakes), it comes from the kitchen across the parking lot and they have jokers that walk it over through the parking lot...

You know how people bag on restaurants that have something on the menu that their momma made for them when they were a kid because the restaurant didn't make the food hella bomb like mom made it? Well, Beef noodle # 1 is the closest I can get to my mom's pho when she isn't in town, or too busy to cook.
Anyone who eats pho knows that it's about the broth. Well, the broth that this place serves is easily the best broth served in San Jose, . Don't get me wrong, the rest of the ingredients used to put together a bowl of pho are important too, and this place doesn't skip out on the quality there either. I usually get a pho tai bo vien, which has little meat balls added into the broth in addition to the meat already in the bowl, and a cafe sua da on the side to wash it all down and give me a caffeine high for the rest of the day. The place across the street, Pho Y, is ok, but Beef Noodle # 1 is my destination for pho whenever I'm back in town.
p.s. Pho is actually a bomb way to get rid of your hangovers. Try it sometime, at Beef Noodle # 1.

The place got a new makeover, but not a good one at that. You walk in past the cashier who tells you to go towards the back- where in most cases is a pleasant view of where you parked your car.
I came here with TF and seated at the very corner of the place. The place seemed more cramped than before and the big "EXOTIC TASTE" neon sign seemed kind of distracting. The waiter took our orders promptly and we received our food in a timely manner. Upon receiving our order, I noticed mine was being poured from a styrofoam container ... which was interesting, I ordered Bun Bo Hue. It made me question it's freshness. The food was appetizing and TF's looked/tasted pretty delicious, he ordered the Grilled Pork Rice plate- yum!
All in all, the food was alright. Service, typical for a Vietnamese place. The thing they need to fix is ventilation. It was rather stuffy during our time there and the whiff of bathroom does not help. Bleh!
been going here since i was about 5 or 6 years old. the pho is GREAT. the broth is so tasty, it's hard not to put the spoon down and just drink from the bowl itself ! the workers here are very nice and patient. they're good friends with my parents so it's always a warm welcome. you don't have to wait long for your food even if you come in a big group.
only negative is that it's not that big of a restaurant but heck theres always empty tables available ! not too exp either
Ive been going here as soon as i could chew as a child. My parents then would take us here every other weekend for lunch. I love going here, maybe I'm just too used to this place but every other Pho places ive tried just cant compare to here. Asides from Pho they have other vietnamese dishes you can order at a decent price.
I always get the # 1 and i always get it big and because its so yummy. Like ive mentioned before i might have gotten so used to this place that i dont really notice anything bad about the quality of the food. But for a while they added so much MSG we stopped coming b/c our throats would get so dry afterwards. But its a whole lot better now, they usually allow you to sit anywhere but they usually seat you in the back. Service is quick and fast and i never get too hungry waiting for the food to be served. I love going here and you'll love their food here too!
There are only a few places I like to get my pho from and Beef Noodle has been on my list at #1 for years. I started going to this place back in high school because Silver Creek was right down the road and fourth period sucked ass. The decor never changes but the one cool thing is that its not a cash only joint.
This place has saved me from a hang over many a Sunday morning. I used to live down the street and I would go there in my PJ's, without even washing my face or brushing my teeth...I know thats gross, but sometimes you gotta have pho before you can function.
I love Pho and with a name like Beef Noodle #1 you can't go wrong. I don't even think there is a Beef Noodle #2. 4 stars for keeping me hella Pho. You got beef...noodle....what the pho...
this place is good, but unfortunatly for them my fav pho place in the area is across the street. Though it sucks because this is my parents fav so we always end up going here instead. But when it's only us siblings we'll go to the one across the street.
the place is good. i like how you can see what they are cooking up. it's good and i would definately go here.. if the other place isn't open.

I'm sad to say that I'm downgrading what used to be my favorite noodle joint. *sigh*
The quality and consistency has really gone downhill. Last time I was here the broth was a little on the bland side and my noodles were a little too soft. I think everything has suffered since they expanded their menu beyond pho. I guess I'll be headed across the street to Pho Y or to Pho Tau Bay around the corner.

there are two pho joints in san jose that are equal, but have a different flair to them. Beef Noodle #1 has that "HEARTY" home stomach warming broth that makes you love to eat.
Beef Noodle #1, The best Pho in the USA hands down.
This place has the best broth in the area. Even though its a little small what pho restaurant isn't. I've been eating here since 5 years ago and the taste is still the same. Thinking about it makes me hungry.
**Pho Quest Stop #13**
I think that if I camped out on East Capitol Expressway and simply spent 24 hours eating pho there, I'd be done with this Pho Quest. There are literally all the places that people have recommended in the two malls that are on Capitol Expressway.
Today, I came by to try Pho Ha Noi, but imagine my surprise when the place was closed. On a Wednesday at noon!
I decided on Beef Noodle #1 as a backup. With a name like that, it definitely sounded promising. Shortly before noon, the place already was filled with patrons and I was the only one who was non-Vietnamese. All good signs.
I kept it simple and ordered a large Pho #1, the combination, with rare beef on the side. A large bowl cost $6.95, whereas the small costs $5.95. Remind me to always order small in the future.
The pho arrived quickly and what immediately struck me was how clear and oil-free the broth was (see pic). To be honest, I wasn't sure that was a good or a bad thing (ie: with respect to flavor). But after one slurp, I knew I was going to be happy:
Broth - absolutely clear, no visible oil at all, surprisingly tasty. Some people might consider the broth to be a tad salty.
Noodles - good, though a bit clumped. The bland noodles actually mixed well with the broth and muted the saltiness creating a nice balance.
Beef - average. A few pieces had gristle and hard pieces of fat. It really took away from the nice broth. The rare pieces of beef were a pinkish color and were better than the cooked flank steak.
Tripe/Tendon - in contrast to the beef flank, the tripe and tendon were wonderful. The tendon was melt in your mouth tender and the tripe was delicate and fresh.
Overall, the pho was solid. I'd rate it 3.5 stars rounded down to 3 for the few disappointing flank pieces with excess gristle and fat. The broth was very tasty and the tendon and tripe were top notch.
I'll definitely be back in the area. But with four other pho joints nearby, it might be awhile before Beef Noodle #1 rotates back in. Sorry.
BTW Credit cards are accepted for orders over $10, but no Amex!

the pho king is back. this time i decided to try the old mother of pho, beef noodle #1. the sign is glaring as u pass by on capitol expressway, so its hard to miss. i remember coming here about 10 years ago. at that time it was one of the best pho id had. unfortunately this time wasn't the best.
broth- it had a bit of a sour taste to it. just a hint. as if they added lemon to it. if ur a person who likes ur broth straight up w/o additives, u might not like this. but since i put lemon or lime in it already, i was ok with it. and i dunno.. it was missing some kind of umph that makes a really good broth.
meat- the meat was good, but not enough. i got fat brisket steak and tendon. i love that fat brisket man. but they were really skimpy on it i was disappointed. good quality, bad quantity.
noodles - too clumped. and a wee bit too thin for my taste. u could tell if u let it sit too long it'd get soggy.
veggies - lemon instead of lime. dock half a point for that.
three colored drink - i dunno why i love this so much. but it was really good. chestnuts inside the lil pink things, love it. but too small. too small for its price. dock off half a point.
ambience - well they really fixed this place up. i remember it used to look like a street vendor in hong kong. much cleaner. but still not the best place.
so overall folks, the pho king was a bit disappointed. there wasnt as much pho as other places and i wasnt really full after eating, i had to defintely finish my three color drink. 'll have to swing over to pho y next time.

I've been to quite a few pho restaurants around the country, and in parts of Asia, and I find this small, cozy, mom-n-pop restaurant to be the most satisfying and most consistent.
Most pho restaurants are plagued by inconsistency, but this place is the same good pho whenever you go, be it early in the morning, right before closing time, and everything in between.
But beware, other things on the menu are not as good... such as the shrimp spring roll.
All in all, great soup, near perfectly cooked noodles, and lots of meat!
First off, I have been to many Pho places. And one thing i can tell you, I would pretty much eat at any Pho places out there. It has to be really bad for me to turn down Pho. haha.
But if i had to pick a place, this place takes first place. The broth is exceptional. I always get # 1, Dac Biet, which is basically a combination of all the meats in my pho. I always enjoy it when i go here to eat pho.
But just to mention, most pho places the customer service is average, so if you need something, you need to let it be known. Other than that, good eats!
You know, sometimes online dates can result in the most delightful finds, like Beef Noodle No 1. Instead of meeting for traditional "coffee", we both agreed that Cafe Sua Da qualifies as that. So we sauntered in and sat down. After a few moments, we both ended up ordering Pho Dac Biet and Pho Tai (both worthy of Michael Phelp's portions). Nothing screams a good date like mutual food coma after a meal where no one can muster the energy to talk. I was disgusted with myself yet proud of my accomplishment at eating what seemed like a vat of Pho.
I digress, there's nothing comparable in variety and quality of SJ to the Pho joints in SF. Yeah, there's Turtle Tower on Larkin but that's North Vietnamese and I prefer my Pho pimped to the South Viet 9 which this place allowed me to do.
The broth was piping hot and tasty, the beef was a-ok, not the best quality but cooked right on the money, which was around $7 by the way.
They only serve Pho here, no rolls, just noodle (unless I missed the rice section). :)
Note to self: Beef Noodle No 1 - good for Pho, not for date.
People thought this was:
This is one of the best places to eat pho, but it was even better before their "renovations".
Eating pho in a dirty restaurant just makes the experience that much better! HA! jk!
Honestly, the place has tried to get better management done and it sorta shows. I just wish people stop letting their kids get the noodles ALL over the CHAIRS and not wipe that off! Thats just DIRTY! Clean after your dirty kids!
The broth is just so delicious and the noodles are great! YUMMY.
The restaurant is pretty small, so its busy during lunch.
PS. dont even think that pho in vietnam is better - it is NOT! their meat isn't tender .. and it lacks a lot of things we have here!

I grew up going to this place, at least 10 years. This place is my parents favorite pho place. The broth here is the best I ever had. the toppings aren't as consistant as Pho Y, but the broth always makes up for it. It's packed during weekend mornings, and sometimes they have the green coconut waffles made fresh outside the door. That was one of my favorite parts as a kid. A crisp yummy waffle for a dollar?? Good stuff. They've remodeled some, making it look a lot cleaner than it used to be. The center used to have windows and as a kid I used to peak and watch the broth boiling in large vats/pots and watch them make the noodles and drinks there. I haven't tried the new additions yet but this place is just full of fond memories. Which reminds me I havent been in awhile... need to get in sometime =)
