Anyone eaten at the Vietnamese market on Capital? (Durham: 2015, closing)

[Grawburg]

The one near Highwoods in the shopping center with the post office. They have a sign that they sell Pho but I wondered if anyone ever ate there.

[mommiewrites]

never eaten there.

dalat off western blvd near state is probably one of the best Vietnamese places around.

Pho Cali up the road on Capital is my preference for Pho...I guess I just need to stop by the market on my way up Capital.

Is that the Green Basil? Next to the SE Asian food market and sort of across the street from Crystal Palace?

[Grawburg]

No, closer to the Beltline. Going North it's in the shopping center with the Eckerds on the right a 1/4 mile past Perkins.

That sounds like the one in the An Chau shopping center, is it on Brentwood? Never tried it, but I'd recommend 9n9 and Pho Cali

[DanielChang]

I've always been highly satisfied with 9N9 for the last three years or so, but a few nights ago, I went there for combination Pho (toward closing) and the Pho broth lacked flavor. I wonder if they cook the stock ahead of time and simply ran out, or the ran out of the bouillon cubes or what--it was really disappointing. I'll probably try to go there earlier in the day.

I have gone to another one off of Capital that was good, but I think the Green Basil's pho was better.

The one(s) in the An Chau shopping center is a mini food court for Vietnamese food. It is really good, if you like authentic Vietnamese food. My wife (vietnamese) and I look around for good ones, and this is our preferred one in the area. It's a bit of a drive for us since we live in Durham, but we definitely prefer it over 9n9 (which is just up the street from us) and Pho Cali. It's a bit chaotic, but my wife says that's usually how they tend to be...

My two cents,
Dan

I like Pho Cali a lot, but have been wanting to try this place.
Here is what the News and Observer's food critic Greg Cox had to say. About halfway down http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/...upgradeable=no

Also here's another with Pho on Capital Blvd I'm not familiar with. http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/...upgradeable=no

I'll try this again...with links that actually work this time.
