I ordered the Pho Ga ("chicken noodle soup") which comes with thicker ho fun noodles rather than the usual thin rice pho noodles; I ordered the same thing as my brother since he visits so regularly. The chicken was described on the menu as "fresh" which means from a recently-butchered bird. "Fresh" chicken is boiled and has a supple, chewy texture rather than being fork tender. It's the same style of chicken that com ga ("chicken rice") is supposed to be served with.
The pho is served with a dish of a yummy sauce made of minced ginger, green onions, salt, and oil. The sauce has a pretty strong ginger flavor and tastes great coupled with the chicken (or just plain over rice for that matter). The broth is light but very rich and full of chicken flavor.
