When $1 chip has good portion, the super taco is really too small. I was tricked by the “super” and thought it should be bigger than the regular taco. But I was wrong. This “super” taco is a shame. You can see how big it is from my photo. I put the beer bottle in the same photo so you can compare.
When facilities are excellent in the bus station, the service was very bad. The service desk people was inpatient for answering questions from us. We were first time in Taiwan and kind of frustrated with the delayed flight. We expected to get our questions answered by the bus service personnel.

When we were there before 10:30pm and tried to buy 10:40 tickets to Taichung, we were told that we would have to take 11:30 bus. But I noticed that the 10:40 bus was only half seats taken. I asked bus driver and station staff to let us in to take two of these empty seats. Unfortunately they refused my request. I were very unhappy with their behavior.

Also noted that you can not use 悠游卡 to take the bus here. You have to buy tickets individually.

We came to this place for garlic noodles. But it turns out that we like the Pho better than the garlic noodles.

The Pho is great. We ordered the #11(rare beef). The beef is fresh and the soup tastes good.

On another side, the garlic noodles are way too sweet and not have any “garlic” taste. This may be my personal preference. I chosen the lemongrass beef and that was the good decision.

But I like this place overall so still a 5 star.

Not authentic Chinese food. But very popular and you have to wait for roughly 30 minutes to get in during weekend.

The dumpling is super good and tastes great.

Their famous dish is the fried chicken wing with special sauce. The skin is very crispy and tasty.

We also ordered the green beans. It is just so so. Not recommended.

Not the cheapest but definitely one of the best Pho restaurants in California. Let me tell you why:

1. The rare beef is so fresh
2. The beef brisket is tender than the one in any other Pho restaurants.
3. The basil and bean sprout are also very fresh
4. You can always pay credit card. They don’t have minimal amount requirement for using credit card.
5. Service is better than most of Pho restaurants

Highly recommend Pho #1
