Vietnamese. Thai. At least 100 different options. Every single one sounds intriguing. How the pho do I choose what to order?Well I’ve got some advice for you, bro. When you just don’t know, go with the pho.On a whim, I ordered the Chan Chua with tilapia. Unlike similar spots I’ve tried, the seafood options (salmon, tilapia, shrimp) don’t cost more than the chicken. So I’m obviously going fishing! Some of the more standard pho dishes on the menu have different size options and pricing (small, medium, large), but unfortunately the more exotic soups just come in one size. And this size is LARGE. The steaming bowl of Chan Chua is loaded up with thin noodles, basil, pineapple, tomato, and chunks of fish in a sweet and sour tamarind sauce. The tropical elements blend perfectly with the broth, which tastes light despite the mound of white noodles taking up 3/4 of the bowl.Don’t forget to personalize to your palate by loading up on the spicy chili paste, dried pepper flakes, and two different types of peppers hanging out on your table. Add a fresh crunch by sprinkling some more basil, bean sprouts, and lemon. While you’re add it, squirt on some sriracha and hoisin sauces. It’s your meal. Go crazy! There’s really no way to go wrong. (Except if you can’t handle spice. Then you may just die).To offset the hot and spicy soup while still in keeping with the tropical flavor theme, I ordered a coconut bubble tea. This came as a smoothie, which was unexpected, and tasted fresh and sweet. Unfortunately, some of the bubbles were a bit underdone, as they were still hard in the center and too chewy, so my straw began to avoid them toward the end. Regardless, the flavor reminded me of the coconut ice cream I’ve eaten from street carts in Puerto Rico. Divine!Needless to say, I finished my tropical, spicy culinary adventure phocking stuffed of soup and smoothie. Upon arriving home and splitting up the leftovers, I discovered that I had enough wriggly noodles for FOUR additional lunches. That is if I can resist not stuffing my face of pho before then.
Love Thai!. Pho Spice is tucked away in a small little store front on Moody Street in Waltham. It has nothing special to draw you into the restaurant or does it? Well, if you consider a packed restaurant as a draw, then yes it does! Why so busy? Well the food is cooked fresh, fast and memorable. I am not Asian, but that makes me almost a minority in this restaurant. The amount of different peppers on the table are fascinating. So many dishes to try and so far the few I have had been great! The lunch combos are the best buy and my favorite. You won’t leave hungry and might even take some home.
