    Pho! Bun! I say again: PHO! BUN!…read moreRIGHT HERE! Broadway's is still the same unassuming neighborhood bar it has always been. But friends, now it has Pho! And Bun! Really decent Pho! Really decent Bun! Flawless pho broth. Perfect noodles. Some of the tastiest bun I have ever eaten. (They call the bun "vermicelli", BTW.) Go there now and get you some Pho! And Bun!

    So I find myself shaking my head that I'm even writing a review for Broadways. I only write food…read morereviews and a year or so ago I would never have thought to be writing a food review for this business, but here we are! I haven't actually been in Broadways since the change and was pleased to find it's still the same old place, just perhaps a little cleaner which is nice! We ordered three dishes to get a broad spectrum of their offerings, and well we got a wide variety of quality along with those dishes. At the recommendation of the chef I ordered the Pho and man I was not disappointed! A super flavorful broth that smelled divine was filled with perfectly cooked noodles and both meatballs and sliced beef. I inhaled it and loved every bite. I'd have given them a 5 star review if we'd stopped there. I'm a sucker for dumplings so we ordered the fried pork dumplings, they came a bit soggy with oil, a fast food chain tub of sauce and were unmemorable in flavor. I'd have given them a 3 star review based on just the dumplings. We decided to go for the Pad Thai special for our third dish and got it with chicken. The dish didn't really taste much like any Pad Thai I've ever had but wasn't unpleasant in sauce and noodle, it came with shrimp which was a little odd and the shrimp were a little bit over done. The killer here was the chicken. Have you ever microwaved raw chicken? You know how chewy and dry it gets? Well that's what was in our Pad Thai. It was really really bad. If this was the only thing we'd ordered I would have given them a 2 star review. That Pho though! Good enough that I will go back since the only other Pho I think is remotely as good is the recently renamed Pho R Us in south Asheville and I live a mere mile from Broadways. If I ever venture away from the Pho again and it's good I'll update this review rating!
