Orange County: Pho in Little Saigon

I've had pho all across Vietnam and let me tell you no where has more flavorful broth than Pho Kimmy in Westminster, California. It's packed from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. seven days a week with Vietnamese immigrants chowing down. They don't take reservations, they don't take credit cards and most of the servers don't speak English. It's a hole in the wall if I ever saw one.

Stepping through the door you are suddenly transported out of Orange County and into Southeast Asia. The tables are rickety and the walls are bare. Big families with children slurp their soup with a spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other. 

It takes anywhere from thirty to ninety minutes to be seated, but for someone who's serious about their pho the tender meat, fresh herbs and noodles make it worth the wait. Additionally, for someone who might not have the time, resources or desire to travel halfway across the world it's an experience amazingly similar to what you find in restaurants from Saigon all the way up through Hanoi.
