Last night, we ate at Pho Saigon, where Red Palace, and Hunan Manor were previously located (on North College).
The food was incredible.
I had the Pho (P1), with everything. The broth was very beefy and quite delicious.
Jill had the Bun (B2 or B3, I can’t remember), and it was very tasty as well.

Wilma’s Restaurant
It looks like Wilma’s Restaurant (formerly at Drake Field) is moving into the building previously occupied by La Maison des Tartes.
