Nam-Viet Pho-79 Vietnamese Cuisine

Nam-Viet is a Vietnamese restaurant just around the corner from the office on one of the side streets. They have three restaurants in town; I was at the Clarendon location. It looks very modest from the outside, but inside it was a nice place with tablecloths and a full menu of Vietnamese items. I tried the pho, the traditional Vietnamese soup with noodles, beef, bean sprouts, and several different green vegetables. Unfortunately, I found it rather ordinary, with the beef tasting as though the flavor had been boiled out of it. Other dishes I saw on other tables looked and smelled quite good, though, so perhaps next time I'll have a regular entree.
