FRESH SUSHI PHO

Located on the NE corner of Kolb and Broadway; near DSW. Its open every day except Sunday till 9pm.

I didn't really like anything we ordered but we will come back anyway because i loved the atmosphere of the place and the portions are generous and the prices low and there's many other items on the menu that appeal to me.

Lots of bamboo and fans and "coolie" hats and wood frames and mirrors shaped like a zen   sand garden and the sushi area looked like a tea house. The service was good.

No booths and i think 4 of the tables, maybe 5 had those high chair/stool seats which i don't like at all.

So we ordered spring rolls because i got confused and thought i was getting egg rolls. the rolls were fresh and big (2 of them) and the sauce was tasty - a hoisin based sauce but i don't like spring rolls; too much rawness; like eating a salad in a cigar.

We also ordered a chicken ban mi; traditional Vietnamese sandwich. Unfortunately, this one lacked; the amount of chicken and pickled vegetables and the clear fish sauce and the bread which was a French baguette was a tad stale and way too crusty.
 

On to the main entree; a bun dish which was really a pho; it was listed under pho so i don't know why i expected something different. The broth was good and the vegetables (carrots and sweet and white potatoes and bean sprouts and cilantro) were cooked perfectly. There was lots of tofu which i didn't eat. But the vegetable and dumpling soup at Ha Long Bay is WAY WAY WAY better plus having a lot of different veggies.

I think the next time i will order egg rolls and one of their chicken and rice dishes.
