Fantastic
The food and staff are fantastic! One is definitely delicious, and since the shop is still open you can probably assume we didn't eat the owners.
We ordered the crocodile curry. Super tender and perfectly cooked. The broth wasn't overpowered by salt or 'fake meat' flavoring. You could tell they let this simmer for a loooong time to give it that nice meaty goodness. If you need a little more sodium in your broth use the fish paste. I like my pho on the spicy side, so I added red pepper
Our meal started with an order of seafood rolls and fried dumplings (shrimps). Both were cooked fresh and served hot and steaming. The seafood rolls were a particular favorite.The fried dumplings weren't too doughy either! They made sure to get a nice meat / dumpling ratio.
We're located hotel in Tra Noc, but would totally drive out to Phuong Nam on the regular after such a great lunch experience.
Be warned: They definitely get busy around 7pm. We got there a bit closer to 11:30am / 12pm and it was fine. Most of the tables were empty.
There isn't much to do in the area around Phuong Nam, but that's not their fault ^_~
Come for delicious food, then go home and take a power nap.
