Pho 79 is a Vietnamese restaurant. It belongs to a chain that is apparently spread across the country. This one is located just off Winters Chapel Road. It definitely qualifies as a food-find. Vietnamese food, to me, is a combination of Thai and Chinese. Yes they have all kinds of noodles; fried, steamed, boiled, flat, angle hair, etc but they also incorporate the use of ingredients like coconut and basil leaves; traditionally used in Thai cuisine. The food at Pho 79 was definitely good. One has to be careful to ask for a description of each entrée though, for there are some that are served lukewarm and some cold, and not everyone would enjoy that!The menu is in Vietnamese and you could just about have a crash course in the language if you so desired. They also had an entire vegetarian section, a much appreciated aspect of this restaurant. The only downside was that the service was not that earthshaking. Despite there being very few patrons that night, the food took forever to come. It was a girls night out though, and time tends to fly when you’re with a bunch of noisy girlfriends.
