I LOVE PHO! I've been to nearly all the pho joints in the valley.  Some were good and some poor.  I would have to put Viet Kitchen on the bottom of the list and here's why. \n\nI've been here twice and concluded both times that they over season there broth with star anise.  The kitchen is fuming with this spice like potpourri.  Not sure if this is intentional or if they leave there broth on the stove too long; yielding in concentrated flavors... quite a disappointment.\n\nAside from the food, the decor was nice BUT the tables were built for little people.  Fitting 4 people at such a small table was uncomfortable.  We kept kicking each other and bumping elbows.  At one point I wanted to elbow my friend in the face.  The back side of the chairs were creaky and the whole experience was just bad.
