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.

Calamansi Soda: The calamansi flavor was pretty good, and it was very refreshing. But, I prefer my drinks to be slightly sweeter, so I asked for some simple syrup, and the server got me some from the bar!

I was happy to see that there was plenty of basil in the herbs basket!

U.S. Prime Raw Beef Pho

U.S. Prime Raw Beef Pho: The beef slices were actually raw, so that's a good sign. (I've had restaurants serve completely cooked beef with their raw beef pho!) The beef slices were pretty tender. I took a sip of the broth, and it had a pretty good beef flavor and wasn't very greasy!

I was a little adamant on getting good noodles after my recent disastrous pho experience, and the noodles were pretty good at La Bo La. They went down smoothly and weren't stuck to each other! The portion was perfect for lunch, and if it's not enough noodles, you could check off +$10 for extra noodles on the order form!

We took advantage of the Facebook promotion, but shrimp spring rolls were not available that day. Instead, they had this Shrimp Tofu. The Shrimp Tofu had a nice crispy crust, and the inside was soft and bouncy with its shrimp and tofu mix.

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!
