Pho #1 Woburn

Winter is here and looking at a completely snow covered landscape I decided to walk down to my local Vietnamese restaurant, Pho #1 in Woburn, for some soup for lunch. Sleeting snow made the walk down a bit of a misery, but the walk back was fine.

About 38 seats, amazing that a small place like this is making enough money, but they have been here for quite a while and are always full at lunchtime.

Dac Biet Beef noodle soup. "Large sized bowl of our popular beef noodle soup, with combining sliced rare eye round, well-done flank, brisket, tendon and tripe" is what the menu says. At the best I would call this a passable rendering of Pho. The broth is OK but lacks the depth of flavor, only a few pieces of tripe and tendon and the brisket was mostly missing. The noodles were also a bit mushy but on a miserable day like today, this is the perfect food and it's within walking distance.
