Pho Mac: Something different for your Taste Buds

By In Restaurant Reviews, Staten Island

phomac1If you are like everyone else and tired of the same exact lunch everyday (Wraps, Pizza, Fast-food, Diners and even the same old Chinese Lunch Special) then we have a great restaurant that is worth a try with great prices for lunch.  Pho Mac is of Vietnamese cuisine of Asian descent, offers something similar to Chinese food but very much different.  The squid (Steamed) pictures above, was delicious and a perfect size for lunch.  The price is very cheap for this type of food which I was expecting to be be in the 15$ range turned out to be only about 7$.  The service was decent although I came during lunch time when the employees were eating and felt a bit uncomftorable disturbing them to find out “What I should order” or “What is good” and when I did try to ask, I was not able to understand fully what I should try.  So I went with my favorite from the seafood menu I noticed the squid and it was a great delight to my taste. 

Overlooking to a customer at another table I had noticed a huge soup bowl and now realized that Pho Mac is famous for Soups and the Seafood Mix soup looking simply delicious made me wish that is what I ordered.

The place feels very authentic to my knowledge (As I have never been to Vietname…) They use large spoons for soups which is one of the reasons I wanted to have the soup and feel the way people eat that meal authentically.  Anyways I will be back for some soup some day soon and will try add a picture of it so you can see the way it looks.  For now, Enjoy something different.
