We are hot-soup-loving patrons, especially when the sky is gray and the cold, damp days set in. What do we love about pho? Everything! You’ve got Sriracha Rooster sauce, basil, bean sprouts, perfectly cooked rice noodles, chicken and jalapenos, but we think the best part is the hot chicken broth. Full of electrolytes naturally and warm nodes of comfy energy. You can’t REALLY go wrong with pho. In fact it’s rare we’ve had a bad bowl of pho.
Not all pho is created equal. Most Pho restaurants don’t claim to serve anything of the organic or local variety. Which is why BOL is better. Everything is organic and made from sustainable ingredients. The chicken is literally pulled off the bone for each bowl of soup. Everything at BOL is gluten-free except the bahm-mi.
Some other quirks about BOL: The main server wears false, drag-queen-like sparkle eyelashes every day. We applaud her for bringing a little (more) spice to our pho order. Often it’s cold in BOL. The door is always kept open because apparently they don’t care about their heating bill during the winter. When it’s closed it is boiling hot from consuming soup. Maybe they’ve realized they can’t win with the temperature. It doesn’t really matter though, keep your jacket on, get warm from soup and you will be A-ok.
