  I visited Pho 88 on a recommendation from my sister-in-law.  Upon entering, my senses were flooded with the scent of mothballs.  Luckily, the adaptive processes of the brain helped me to acclimate.
  
  I had a Vietnamese soup and mango bubble tea.  Both were delicious, and the bubble tea was extremely smooth and creamy.
  
  Unfortunately, I visited again the next day for a bubble tea, and I had a very different experience.  It had fairly large ice chunks, which led me to chew it more than I drank it.
  
  I would still go back, but would make a point of needing the bubble tea well-blended (if I want ice chunks in a drink, I'll get a frap at Starbucks).

  I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone because: one is the price (I think they're 2$ extra compared to other). Next, their meat are smaller (especially their grilled pork on the rice). Pho 26 is so much better and worth your money.

  I've been here about 6 times and choose to get the same thing every time. I really like the food here and it is good quality. I have a sensitive stomach that will let me know when I have encountered bad quality.
  
  The only reason why I did not rate higher was the bathroom amenities here are sub par...... Ie I wouldn't want to sit down or stay very long in there

  I and another girl were riding on the bus one blistery day and it was extremely cold; we were the only people on board and I wanting to kill some time before my meeting I spotted a Pho noodle restaurant and rang to get off.  Much to my surprise the girl also got off and followed me into the restaurant.  I thought as I sat at an available table that she must have wanted a quick warm up as well.
  
  Imagine my surprise to see her approach my table with a menu and ask me what I wanted to drink.  Ha-ha she was my waitress!  Well it wasn't too hard to know what to order as I was needing something to sooth my aching shivery body so I ordered the beef sate.
  
  In minutes a very large bowl was put before me by my bus companion and it came with heaping amounts of beef, fresh sprouts and fresh basil on the side.  I sprinkled my basil in the soup and dug immediately in.  
  
  The beef was so tasty and the broth was spicy and yet with a touch of sweetness.  I could also taste the added crispness of the fresh basil which was such a nice added zing.
  .
  I gobbled this up in no time and was presented with a bill for under $10, definitely one of the best spontaneous pit stop pho's I have tasted in the city and one of the best remedies for fighting cold weather blues.
