This just in from our friend Nik Martin in Mobile, Alabama:
I've been looking for a phở restaurant since the launch of this site, and today while thumbing through the yellow pages for something to eat, came across "Phở 88." BINGO. I call to make sure they are indeed a phở restaurant (they are) and if they are indeed open for my culinary curiosity (they are). I jet over, and after stopping outside to snap pics (which prompted the owner to rush out in a paranoid fashion to determine my reasons for doing so) I went in to make my purchase. The menu was entirely in an English printed Vietnamese dialect, but the descriptions were readable. I got a number 1, which had every type of beef available in it; flank steak, tripe, round steak, meatballs, and brisket. While waiting for my food, I ask what the "88" in their name means. Nothing, says the owner, he just liked the way it sounded. Good enough for me. After a few minutes, the owner returned with a very large sack of food and rang up $5.75. WOW, what a deal.
