Philly has a couple good pho shops if you ever get up that way.
Surprisingly NYC has a much smaller Vietnamese presence than Philly. I
never realized why but apparently during the Vietnam war we resettled
numerous folks to Philly. There are two bustling shopping centers within
6 blocks of each other there.

I used to live about 30 miles from Philadelphia but moved South three years
ago. I never tried Vietnamese food until I lived in Texas and became a big
fan immediately. In fact, we have some left over chicken from yesterday and
are having Pho tonight.

If I ever get back to PA, I'll give the Pho shops a try.

I have never worked at a place where people steal dishes. They take
eat food and leave the dirty dish next to the sink.

And then every 6 months you have to email the whole office asking
them to take home heir dishes or they go in the trash.

Nope, you didn't get it. Sarcasmeter in the shop?
