I ordered Vietnamese comfort food. I have never travelled to Vietnam, but I certainly enjoy and have an appreciation of international ethnic cuisines. This main course originated in Northern Vietnam. I practiced walking meditation for bodily movement as exercise and attempt for mental clarity from Forest Hills to Rego Park. It was near empty when I entered at 11:30 am on a June Monday. My male server pulled a laminated QR code card from the condiment tray and plopped down instructing me to scan it for the menu. I immediately gave him a wracked with grief and anguish look as scanning such QR codes was during COVID-19 era which now post COVID-19 it is very callous and utter impersonal. My male server retreated to rebuke my anguish look for resilience "we have paper menus" which I gladly viewed after my eyes were intensely examined earlier. I do not want to doom scrolling during my meal including sitting at a restaurant or cafe. Albeit, I would certainly Yelp check-in and take photos during my time in the business. The paper menu is a takeout menu. Facilities are located in the basement with low head room as you walk these steps. It is relatively clean and bathroom sink is outside the toilet area shared by all genders. Patrons can visibly see boxes, shipping crates of their inventory are pipe high disorganized disarray by the bathroom sink foyer. Customer service is average. Flank and Brisket Phở, $17.25 Thinly sliced rare flank and cooked brisket. It is customary accompanied with a separate plate of room temperate Asian bean sprouts with a piece of fresh lime, a staple for Vietnamese Pho. It was served hot, but not piping hot as it should. The broth was very oily and flavorful with onions. The soup broth oil bubbles are very visible for the high level of cholesterol and fat content. The rice noodles were chopped rather than long continuous noodle strains. The meat seemingly appeared semi-cooked as there were noticeable visible pink areas. I preferred if my meat were well done for cooking level. What would "Lisa from Temecula" - Saturday Night Live think if her meat had pink areas for uncooked meat? The character is notorious for ordering her steaks "extra, extra well done." Pho 99 has handheld devices for wait staff to approach customers with credit/debit payment (aka cashless) at the table. There is a 4% discount when payments are cash. I paid in cash, attained the 4% discount and obtained my sales receipt. Dinning tables are modern large dark color, but no table linens. The long booth bench cushion against the wall material appears very worn and dirty. Their disclaimer is written on the utensil wrap "hand-crafted ietnamese noodle soup 100% beef broth, no MSG, fresh house-made noodles." VIETNAMESE is noticeably misspelt, missing the "V." The reverse side has a sketch of Vietnam country map. Inside this utensil wrap contains one gold emblem spoon, black matte lacquer chopsticks, and one napkin. This business is accessible via MTA NYC Transit M, R local trains at 67th Avenue subway station in Rego Park, Queens, NYC. I walked to reach this business for my visit.
