Brought a friend for lunch when I couldn’t take my own cooking for one more minute. Contrary to the “location” grumbling, there is enough parking, it’s on a main drag, and I didn’t find it difficult at all. The place is spotless. The owner comes out to ask about your food and she engaged us in a long discussion about how the various bone broths and pho were made. I had the rice noodle bowl with everything, and while it was a little expensive, it was wonderful and in these times, well worth it. I even asked if I could come back to photograph the kitchen making bone broth and she warmly welcomed me. I like that there are specials and I LOVE that you can ask for chicken feet and giblets.
Their open kitchen allows you to see how your food is being made, and how much attention is being paid. I noticed lots and lots of pick-up orders waiting, so that seems a fine testimonial. Since many of us find ourselves in the neighborhood of Bed, Bath & Beyond or HMart or other stores, I figure a drop off for lunch at Viet Citron is a little way to spoil yourself and boost sales at this fresh-tasking, attentive place.
