Pho Bolsa Vietnamese Restaurant Palm Bay, FL

I did a Yelp review for Pho Bolsa Vietnamese Restaurant Palm Bay, FL :  I gave it 3 stars because I tasted only one soup which I’ll be back for. I went today for the first time. Pho Bolsa opened last month at the former site of Fiesta Azteca and it’s been completely redone inside. I eat pho and asian noodle soups all over town. PhoViet on Hwy 192 is my current favorite.  At Pho Bolsa, I had the vegetarian noodle soup $5.95. It was full of broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, carrot, squash and tofu as well as rice noodles.  A very flavorful broth, frankly I expected just broth and noodles, so I took the vegs home with half the broth. The beef pho looked good but I wasn’t in the mood for slabs of meat. The stirfry dishes looked good and were served beautifully plated. There were 7 tables, 17 diners at 12:30pm. Service was timely and  pleasant. No basil accompanied the bean sprouts, lemon wedge and jalapeno but the broth was so flavorful, I didn’t ask for it. They have a tom yum on the dinner menu only, it’s served as a noodle soup for $10.50. I will return for that and for the pho as well. Pleasant, serene atmosphere, ambient music, I sat in the main dining room, a wide open space with a high ceiling, natural and overhead lighting. There is more cozy seating in the other side. Don’t be fooled by the paper menu with items crossed off, there is nothing shabby about Pho Bolsa. Good food, pleasant people, I’ll be back.
