CORIANDER

The Vietnamese coffee was so good. Had a Ban Mi it was perfect, pork was super tasty

Great salad (and mural)

My wife and I read some reviews on this place and decided to try it out. After taking our dog for a long walk we decided to call in a order. When I arrived to pick up the order the order was short an item when I pointed this out to the young lady at the counter she responded rudely " you verified the order over the phone"when I informed her that she missed the first item that I ordered, sh just repeating herself. None the less, I ordered the other item and waited an additional 10 minutes. While I was waiting for the food, I witnessed a very sickly mouse staggering just inside the front door. I processed to inform the staff that didn't seem to surprised. That should have been enough for me but I must have been hunger blind. When I got home the Pho I ordered looked like it was prepackaged and the juice bland and flavorless. The sandwiches were just OK. I looked at a take out menu that I grabbed on the way out and the prices on the website are obviously not updated because the items were at least a couple of dollars more each. In short (lol) avoid Coriander at all costs. I'd recommend the Pho House on Fair oaks Blvd, they are off the hook...

It's one of the best soups I've had in the area.

Food is slightly above average, average service and atmosphere.

I had the Beef Pho. Traditional serving. The beef tasted fresh. Cheap cuts, but it was tender. Good fat to meat ratio.
The broth was very well balanced, salty and beefy. It was very hearty and was a beautiful base for the soup.

None of the heat factors were hot enough for me. Their jalepenos were very mild. They have very little control over this in the winter months, but they could have pickled Thai chili's. They have a salty chili paste that is delicious and medium spicy. The hot chili oil is also an extremely good recipe, honestly these two condiments were the star of the meal.

My girlfriend had the bahn mi and really enjoyed it. Again, mild, but jalepenos are this time of year.

We were out the door for $30 including tip, so that was nice, considering even fast food these days has me in that range.

Its a really wonderful place to have as a local pho option if you live near midtown.
