Unfortunately, they had sold out all the bread for the evening.  We all got large pho ($9.50) and also tried their spring rolls (4 for $8.25). Their pho is pretty small for the large size. The noodles are chewy, which I like. The flavour of the broth is very subtle, with hint of sweetness, but not super exciting. The options of the beef pho are very limited as well &#8211; there are only rare beef, cooked beef, and beef ball. My favourite Bun Bo Hue is also  missing on the menu. <\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-custom\" title=\"beef pho @ au petit cafe\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_0433.jpg\" alt=\"beef pho @ au petit cafe\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">beef pho @ au petit cafe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The spring rolls are just okay.
