pricing: moderate $$


Summer days in Taiwan are unbearably hot and for some reason I really wanted to have Pho for dinner, the combination of delicious broth, basil and lime, just seemed perfect. But when it comes to Vietnamese food my previous experiences have not been the best. 
Brookhurst serves your staple Vietnamese food : banh mi, pho, dry noodles and rice plates
A fresh and light spring roll with an interesting addition, a fried doughnut. The spring roll also came with a type of chicken consomme dipping sauce. 
The deep fried egg rolls were crispy and full of filling.
The baguette of pork banh mi was a tad dry, but the pork was quite tender and the pickled vegetables flavorful.
A decent size bowl of Pho, the broth itself was quite bland and the beef and noodles average.
