Located at 4175 High Point Road just beyond the Greensboro
city limits, I Love PHO offers authentic-style Vietnamese cuisine, including
the eponymous noodle soup. It is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through
Sunday.
This strip mall location had been home to two Thai
restaurants prior to I Love PHO moving in. If that’s an omen for things to
come, get it while the getting’s good. I Love PHO (the establishment spells its
name with a heart symbol) dishes out the signature soup with gusto. The broth
is flavorful (and, like any legitimate pho, customizable: you can pick the
meats and tinker with the seasoning to your heart’s content) and it comes in
three sizes. Considering that the $6.45 “small” will still fill you up, that’s
a steal.
The rest of the menu appears to be equally reasonable. Almost
all entrees are $9.95 or less, and you’ll find many familiar offerings. Beef
basil, pad thai, fried rice, and mixed bowls are all up for the taking as is a
variety of exotic beverages (milk and egg yoke, anyone?).
I Love PHO is not large, but the proprietors make good use of
the space. Seating appears adequate and the red and black décor is inoffensive
if a bit spartan. My server was soft-spoken yet polite, and wait time was
minimal. A testament to the restaurant’s credibility can be found in the fact
that mine was the only Caucasian face in the restaurant at the time of my
visit.
For those who don’t travel High Point Road regularly, I Love
PHO is a bit out of the way, and the overall dining experience doesn’t quite
measure up to Pho Hien Vuong. But if you are in the vicinity of Jamestown or
outer Greensboro and want a cheap, filling meal with flavor, phoget about going
anywhere else.
