Petting Food: Pho Filet

Went to this restaurant the past July 4th for lunch as I've been craving for Pho for a long time. Since I've moved to LA county, I never really had a nice pho. Westminster, Orange County always has the best pho!
A couple of friends recommended this restaurant since it's close by, and it is also very famous for it's Filet Mignon. Yes, it sounds delicious!

Date
July 4th, Saturday, crowded.
Parking
♫♫ (out of 5)
Not much space. We had to park on the streets
Wait Time
♫♫♫ (out of 5)
It was about 15-20 minutes wait. Considering it was a federal holiday and there wasn't many choices left, it's actually not bad. We did have to share a table at the beginning, but after we've ordered our food, a booth was opened and we switched.
Cleaniness
♫♫ (out of 5)
Honestly, it doesn't look very clean. I didn't pay much attention to the floor, but it just feels like one of those Asian restaurants... Not clean. But if you don't pay attention to it then you can still survive.

The Filet Mignon pho is pretty good. It came rare and the soup gradually warms it up and gets it cooked. Well, this is pretty much how all rare beef pho is, except this is filet mignon.
The filet mignon is tender, but it is chopped off into small pieces. Some might like it, but I can’t really taste the beef.
The soup base is nice though. I like how they put extra ginger into the soup, which is different from other pho places that I’ve been to. I don't think the MSG was too strong even though I've drank 1/3 of the soup. 


On top of the pho, I’ve also ordered an Avocado Milk Shake. I’ve tried one in Westminster long time ago. This one is actually pretty good too. It is not as “heavy” and “filling” as the one I’ve had before. It tastes light. However, the soup from the pho was too strong that took me awhile to finally get the taste of the avocado.
Price
♫♫♫♫♫ (good deal!)
$6 for a small bowl of pho. I consider it as a reasonable price.
$2 for Avocado Milk Shake. Pretty good deal. You won’t be able to get a drink for only $2 now at a regular boba place.


♫ = how good it is.


** Update on 7/28/2014: We actually just found out there's actually another Pho Filet 2 in Rosemead which is cleaner and bigger. Visit their Yelp page here.
