Ate my very first Vietnamese pho (pronounced fuh) with chicken and rice noodles from the Jasmine Garden Oriental Restaurant on 2635 E. Shaw in Fresno.
My wife ate her first bowl of pho while undergoing training in Orange County, CA. One of her teammates introduced her to Vietnamese cuisine and she really liked it. When Pam returned from training, she asked everyone where the nearest Vietnamese restaurant was and nobody knew. Until someone mentioned about the restaurant in Fresno across from the Save Mart Center.
Very good except for the jalapeno that came with it. I thought it was a Vietnamese vegetable. NOT! Mouth on fire!!! Overloaded on the capsaicin. My wife got me some cheese to heat to put out the fire, but what I really needed was a glass of milk.
I thought pho was Vietnamese (maybe Chinese) and not Mexican?
Whatever.
It was delicious.
Next time I will pass on the jalapeno.
