2 meals = $10.90

We made our way to Pho Viet Huong last night and left with full bellies and leftovers. I got the spicy No. 200 Curry chicken and rice. She got No. 194 Ginger chicken with rice, which was verrrry gingery. Not the most adventurous, I know, but we were so hungry we just wanted something nice and filling. Each dish was about $5 and they serve free tea, so there you go — a tasty meal out for two for under $15 including tax and tip.

Though we certainly didn’t have to wait to be seated, it was pretty crowded for a Thursday night and everyone else’s meals smelled and looked delicious, too. Most of the rice, vermicelli dishes and pho were under $6 (some as low as $4). Entrees went as high as $16 for fish.

As of this writing, the restaurant has 4 of 5 stars on menupages, 3 1/2 of 5 on yelp, 4 1/2 of 5 on citysearch and is recommended by Frommers.

This place delivers, but mainly just Chinatown/Wall Street.

Sidenote for those wondering: “Pho” is a kind of rice noodle that’s served in soups, which is a staple, which is why you see it in so many restaurant names.

Afterwards we went to nearby Dragon Land Bakery and picked up two pastries — I’m not really sure what they are, but they taste good — for $1.50. The worker was very patient. There are little tables if you choose to eat there, but we needed to walk off some of our rice!
