No Beef Tripe or Meatball?

As someone from San Francisco where there's copious amount of good Vietnamese restaurants, my expectations for pho are high. I have been to Nha Trang many times, and while it's one of the better ones in HK, it could be better. I've got beef with their beef pho menu (no pun intended - ha!) as they don't have a wide variety of beef parts for pho.

As someone from San Francisco where there's copious amount of good Vietnamese restaurants, my expectations for pho are high. I have been to Nha Trang many times, and while it's one of the better ones in HK, it could be better. I've got beef with their beef pho menu (no pun intended - ha!) as they don't have a wide variety of beef parts for pho. Usually, in the US, you can order a train pho which is an all-beef combination with rare beef, well-done beef, beef brisket, beef tripe, beef meatballs, etc. My favorite is the beef tripe and beef balls, both of which is absent from Nha Trang's menu. 

I had their pho nam (pho with well-done beef brisket) the other day for lunch. I was interested in comparing their beef brisket to the ones served in chinese noodle shops since the beef brisket name in chinese indicates a special area of beef brisket which is snappier in texture. The beef brisket was unfortunately quite average and tough to chew while beef briskets in chinese noodle shops tend to be more tender with more fat and tendon in proportion to the meat. The pho broth was also just average as it wasn't particularly flavorful or aromatic.
