Pho Nouveau Description:
Downtown Boise's first venture in Vietnamese cuisine offers a contemporary spin on this traditional Asian cooking style. Looking onto busy Idaho Street, Pho is a welcome sanctuary with its floor-length red velvet curtain buffering the sounds of downtown traffic. Red brick walls and bistro-style seating create a sensible warmth while clearly departing from typical Asian restaurant design. The menu offers the usual mix of Vietnamese entrées including charbroiled pork, chicken and beef in a variety of assemblages accented with lemon grass, sweet onions, dried chili peppers and curries. Most noteworthy are Sizzling Saigon made with coconut milk, turmeric and rice flour, and the Banh Hoi trays with your choice of meat, lettuce wraps, noodles and sauces. But what Boiseans come here for is the pho, which is possibly the freshest in town. A large bowl---that you will surely have to finish at home---of the well balanced meat and noodle soup is infused with fresh ginger and star anise, and topped with cilantro, basil, bean sprouts and lime.
