Not a bad bánh mì for $4
I've grabbed my luch here several time, and it's always been consistant.
Fresh cilantro, pickled daikon, carrots, cucumber and jalapeños. The chicken has been pretty good quality, reheated in a microwave, but still pretty tasty.
I haven't got around to trying anything else on their menu. I'm tempted, but like the idea of eating under five bucks.
sometimes you can get free wi-fi, plus plus! -

I ordered the P1 Pho - it was beef balls, flank and noodles, bean sprouts and all the other stuff that normally comes with pho. It was quite tasty and for $7.50 it was good value. I think I would just get the flank beef and skip the balls next time.
They could be a little more generous with the bean sprouts and limes though. For quick lunch it's fast and filling. -

Well, I just had a terrible lunch.
Sometimes I have no idea what to eat and I 'spin the wheel' so to speak; more often than not, it'll land on something I've had before, or something at least average enough to satisfy.
I ended up at Pho Express in the International Food Court - a spot I had been to only once before (it's relatively new). I had only ever had their vietnamese sub, so I decided to try something new and (soon to be discovered) terrible.
Coconut chicken curry on vermicelli. Mmm, right?
Wrong.
The chicken was of a quality that would be used to make soup stock. Most of the meat had been boiled off the bones, and there was a disproportionate amount of skin. It was almost like the chicken was wearing the skin of other chickens like some kind of twisted chicken serial killer.
Did I go too far there? At least you didn't have to eat the sick bastard.
The vermicelli was overcooked and mushy, and once the curry was introduced, it turned into a gag-worthy tapioca punctuated by bone shards, confusing carrots, and funtatoes.
The carrots were of varying consistency, with some almost seeming raw, and others being stew-tender. Confusing.
The funtatoes, I can only assume, were actually potatoes. They didn't taste anything like the potatoes I'm accustomed to... or anything else, for that matter. They didn't even really absorb the curry flavour. They had no point and should be ashamed of themselves.
The curry itself was ok, but that's because it was prepackaged Glico curry.
I hope this is my only one-star review. I'm still hungry and now I am sad.
