In case you needed another Viet option on the east side of Washington, Pho Saigon opened up about two weeks back in the Riverview shopping center (1100 S. Columbus Blvd., 267-773-7305), right near that Halloween Masquerade store you always go to.
Grabbed a quickie bite Saturday night, ordering our usual tripe-laden bowl of pho. It tasted like ... tasty pho. Never really met a bowl of Philly pho we didn't like, to be honest. (Have you guys?) The full menu, which features various other soups, plus plenty of apps and vermicelli dishes, is after the jump. Pho Saigon is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

I had a pretty bad bowl of pho at Pho Cali (10th & Arch) over a year ago. Found the chicken to be really dry - and there wasn't much of it in the bowl to begin with. Pho Xe Lua (the place with the neon train sign at 9th and Race) will always be my favorite, even though I'm a stone's throw away from Nam Phuong, Viet Huong, etc. Definitely will have to try this new spot.
