Pho 11 Vietnamese Restaurant

It was pretty empty when we visited. I think most folks get takeout. I have not tried other pho restaurants in the area but this restaurant compares favorably to other places where I've eaten. We had the tofu and the chicken pho and we're very satisfied. I would definitely
