Neo is the only place in Westchester that I know of, that
has begun serving Vietnamese Pho bowls.
It is a mixed Asian kind of place, that opened up a couple of years ago
and seems to be doing good business.
I don't care much for the “dim and sleek” style décor, but the food will
not disappoint you. The bibimbap,
served in a hot stone pot was well made, the rice well crusted against the side
of the pot, a dish befitting the restaurant’s Korean management. The Pho, with a broth richer and deeper
than what is usual, was hearty and wholesome. It appears currently as a special on the menu and I do hope
that they do not drop it. Lovers
of Japanese noodle bowls such as Ramen, will like Pho for it offers the same
mix of a casual, satisfying and
no-nonsense meal. The sushi was of
the same quality as any of the run-of-the-mill Northern Westchester sushi
places. The place does not have
the cosiness of nearby Little Kabab Place, but has a varied collection of
Asian dishes that are not phoney and well worth going for.
Note added Jan 29, 2012: A second visit ratified the conclusions from the first. The Pho is a steady dish, with a wholesome, filling broth. The bibimbop is reliable. This place is a fusion Asian place that does not muck with the dishes by alloying them with different ethnic cuisines. That often turns into a fashionable disaster. It is fusion in the sense that they will serve dishes from different cuisines. And they have made a success out of it.
