Pho
Pho Nam #4 in Sunnyvale, conveniently located between 7/11 and a Karaoke bar has some good stuff. The broth is flavorful, not over salted, good amount of meat, but not too much. Although a bit too much noodles. I had it with Tripe and Tendon. The Tendon was very tender almost falling a part when picked up with chopsticks. The portions are huge. I mean small was pretty damn big. I can't imagine ordering large. Although this is true of other Pho places I have been to. I wonder if it's just Americanized portions?

I had the most mindblowing pho in SF a couple weeks ago. It was at Turtle Tower on Geary in the Richmond (though I guess they have a second location in the Tendo at Larkin). I had #6, North Viet style beef pho with wide home-made noodles that they pan-fry first then put in the broth. Lots more/different veggies than your usual pho, the broth was delicious, chunks of steak were tender and good quality, and the pan-fry flavors brought a deepness to the bowl that I had never had before.

This is where I went. Location is meh, but food is good and service is fast. It is right near 101.
I can take of early (I am guessing there will be socializing on top of Hamilton), so I can ride back change and meet the gang there.

Hmmm...I guess you'd truly find out if it's possible to have too much of a good thing if you tried to finish that bowl. Holy cow.
