I think this is the best Pho in town. It's a strange place, eat your pho and then go in the back and play some billiards if you wish. It's delicious, family run and somewhere I go as often as I can.

Shopping
If you are lucky enough to be in Lancaster on Tuesday, Friday or Saturday morning, promise me you won't skip this. You could grab breakfast or lunch here, or just sample things as you walk through (second breakfast!). It's good for produce and gifts too. I highly recommend Thom's bread in the market!
