Godbro XO was checking new places for his gourmand group to have their happy hour. Since he passes by La Bo La all the time, he decided to check out their menu. While he was there, he saw that La Bo La offers Vietnamese noodles during lunch hour! Knowing that I'm a fan of pho, he asked me to check out La Bo La's pho with him!We got to La Bo La at 1pm on a Friday, and it was pretty packed!

We got to La Bo La at 1pm on a Friday, and it was pretty packed! XO and I managed to grab the last table for 2, so we didn't have to sit on the bar seats with the tall stools.
Since La Bo La is a bar, it had a pretty extensive selection of liquor on display. We came here for lunch, so alcohol was not on our agenda!
For a bar, La Bo La had some dainty decorations if you look carefully. There were flowers hidden towards the ceiling and little dainty accessories on a rack!
There was also a secluded area that would have more privacy with the curtains drawn. The area is probably more useful at night for the bar-hoppers.
All the patrons were ordering Vietnamese noodles during lunch, so chopsticks were readily available on the table.
They had an ordering form for the noodles where you can check off the type of protein and the various garnishes you want. There are also sections on the form for snacks and drinks. I ordered the raw beef pho with an herbs basket and a calamansi soda. On the form, it also says that there is a promotion where you will receive a complimentary order of shrimp spring roll or soft drink if you like their facebook page.
After placing our pho orders, the server gave us the lime and chili garnish, which I don't really use.

Thanks to XO's discovery, we were able to have a delightful pho lunch at La Bo La! In addition to a nice bowl of pho, I also had a calamansi soda which brought up my childhood memory of traveling to Thailand as a kid and drinking calamansi juice with every meal!
