Meal time: Sunday 1:30 PM
This is my third time here and judging by how my first two experiences were, I wasn't really looking forward to lunch but when you're hungry, you're hungry. To the left of the restaurant is a parking lot and there's always the streets so the parking here is definitely ample.

Anyway, the restaurant itself is mid-sized but it can get really cramped during peak hours. You'll probably find yourself doing a lot of seat adjusting with the tables next to you coming and going.
A minor thing but I don't understand why they fill the soup all the way to the top. Yes, we get more but if your fingers are touching it, it's kinda gross.
Normally when i eat Vietnamese foods, I like to go for the rice plates. but unfortunately, I don't like their rice plates here. I had a lemon grass chicken and a lemon grass pork chop my previous trips and I could only eat about half of it given the fat/inedible content of the meat.
We also had spring rolls - they were alright but I wasn't exactly looking towards get a second order.
Service is what you expect from a pho place. They are very busy but manage very well. You can't really expect them to notice you unless you put up your hand but they are prompt once they get the signal.
Pho Van is a decent place to get your pho fix but not your rice plate fix. It's not a place I plan to return to on my own accord but the next time my friends suggest we eat here, I'd be a lot less hesitant to go - that is, until i get sick of beef balls in soup.
