Pho Lan has really good spring rolls
There’s only one place I go for pho in Richmond, Pho Lan. And the reason is simple, good food.
This place is pretty awesome, almost every time I walked it, I’d get seated right away, but that maybe got to do with the time I go. I usually go around 8pm, and I usually get to pick my seat.
Today I usually get Rare Steak with Beef Balls pho here, but today I tried Rare Steak and Tendon pho with a Spring Roll.
My Rare Steak Tendon pho today was pretty good. The broth tasted good as usual, but a little greasy. There were a fair amount of steak in my noodle soup, and they were really tender. I barely got any tendons though, I think I found 3, so I wasn’t too impressed about that.
They also cook their bean sprouts here, so if you like uncooked sprouts, you’d need to make a request. The sizes come in small or large. Beware of the large, it’s pretty giant, so make sure you are really hungry when you order it.
I always get their Spring Rolls when I come here. They are so yummy. The fillings were minced meat and rice vermicelli. They are always perfectly fried, the outside is always really crispy. I like to douse it in the sauce that comes with it before I eat it. This is a must get when you come here.
Note: Cash Only! Free parking at the back.

HI Ben!
yup it was taken with the 11-16. It’s pretty awesome to take photos of the restaurant with just one shot. haha.
The pictures were saved for web quality. I’m still learning with this lens, you’re right the pictures are not sharp, it could be my shaky hands (coz there’s no VR), it could be the lens. I hope I didn’t get a defective lens. lol.

maybe you just need to get the 14-24 =)
I don’t think not having VR should matter much at 11-16. I’ll try to figure out what’s happening this weekend.
It might not be very sharp wide open.. or the focusing is off, or your settings are weirdo when you are shooting.

Best Pho and spring rolls in town!
These pictures must have been taken with the 11-16mm lens, huh? Whew … it is so wide you could take the picture of the entire inside of the restaurant.
Seems like you corrected the WB, is that right? Wanted to learn why … but the pictures sort of lack sharpness. Is it because it was Photoshop’d and then you saved it in a lower quality?
