Pho Lien Hoa in Oklahoma City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Oklahoma,<\/em>
\nWhere the wind comes sweepin\u2019 down the plain<\/em>
\nAnd the wavin\u2019 wheat<\/em>
\nCan sure smell sweet<\/em>
\nWhen the wind comes right behind the rain<\/em>.”
\n~Oklahoma by Rodgers & Hammerstein<\/strong><\/p>\n

The setting for Rodgers and Hammerstein’s revolutionary 1943 Broadway hit Oklahoma showcased wide-open plains and rugged landscapes that painted both a literal and metaphorical canvas.\u00a0 The vastness of the territory mirrored the boundless dreams and limitless energy of its inhabitants.\u00a0 This award-winning musical depicted the ushering in of organized statehood, a challenging transition from mostly unsettled agrarian land.\u00a0 That transition parallels the characters\u2019 personal journeys toward growth and self-discovery.\u00a0 Oklahoma became a timeless classic largely because of the stirring music, but also its celebration of love, community, and resilience among vibrant characters.<\/p>\n

Dining Room Reminds Guests That “Everyday is a Pho-fect Day”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We weren’t expecting Shirley Jones belting out “Oh What a Beautiful Morning<\/strong><\/a>” when we crossed into the Sooner State’s sacred borders, nor did we expect John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath<\/strong><\/a> or warring factions of cowboys and Indians.\u00a0 Frankly we didn’t know what to expect.\u00a0 You’ll forgive my ignorance of modern day Oklahoma.\u00a0 It was obviously stunted by my having watched the musical a few dozen times.\u00a0 My friend Steve Coleman, the prolific blogger who informs and entertains readers on Steve’s Food Blog<\/strong><\/a>, has often told me that Oklahoma City in particular has a number of excellent to outstanding Asian restaurants.\u00a0 As an aside, he also believes Oklahoma has the country’s most outstanding (albeit unheralded) burgers (such as Johnnie’s Grill<\/strong><\/a> in El Reno).\u00a0 Steve’s index of Oklahoma restaurants is replete with reviews of the Asian restaurants he’s visited.<\/p>\n

\"\"
No Wait Schtick From This Server<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Among the Vietnamese restaurants Steve wrote about is Pho Hien Loa<\/strong><\/a> in Oklahoma City.\u00a0 He praised the “freshness and flavor standard that make it a truly great pho restaurant<\/em>.”\u00a0 He also waxed enthusiastic about the variety of soups (and not just pho) on the menu.\u00a0 Because we had neglected to make reservations on our first full day in Oklahoma City–Mother’s Day in which nearly every restaurant would be packed–we reasoned that perhaps a Vietnamese restaurant wouldn’t be as crowded as some of the other anointed eateries.\u00a0 To our delight, there were only a few families celebrating moms on their special day.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cherry and Durian Smoothies with Boba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some things have changed since Steve’s last visit.\u00a0 Among them is a number of restaurant robots<\/strong><\/a> that ferry bowls of pho and other culinary delights to eagerly awaiting diners.\u00a0 It’s a treat to see the robots navigate to each table, bypassing obstacles and navigating politely among other robots.\u00a0 If only New Mexican drivers would drive with such regard.\u00a0 Once those robots arrived at their appointed destinations, a server offloaded dishes onto their intended table.\u00a0 We could only assume the restaurant hoped to mitigate the risk of having diners spilling scalding hot dishes onto their laps.\u00a0 As for tipping protocol, we assume the robots don’t have much need for remuneration so tip the human servers only.<\/p>\n

Perusing the menu was a delight.\u00a0 More than any Vietnamese restaurant in memory, Pho Lien Hoa offers a wide selection of smoothies in flavors we hadn’t seen at other restaurants.\u00a0 For my Kim, a cherry smoothie<\/strong><\/em> was in order.\u00a0 It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but she’s much sweeter than I am so it was just perfect for her.\u00a0 My choice, of course, was a durian smoothie<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 You probably think I’m a massochist for enjoying “the world’s stinkiest fruit” so much, but hey, I was Vietnamese in a previous life.\u00a0 Unlike some durian restaurants, this was not a misnamed vanilla smoothie.\u00a0 Durian certainly made its presence–and aroma–known.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Fried Egg Rolls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Appetizers are pretty standard fare, about ten of the usual suspects.\u00a0 We would likely have enjoyed any of the ten but decided on something small so as not to fill up before our entrees arrive (a good approach considering just how generous Vietnamese entrees are plated).\u00a0 The fried egg rolls<\/strong><\/em> (2 pieces. Crispy fried egg rolls with ground pork, shrimp and carrots. Served with fish sauce and fresh lettuce)\u00a0 were filled to capacity.\u00a0 These cylindrical, golden-hued beauties were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.\u00a0 The accompanying fish sauce was a bit more funky than some fish sauce we’ve had.\u00a0 \u00a0The only minus was that there are only two egg rolls per order (some Vietnamese restaurants are more giving.)<\/p>\n

\"\"
Bo Kho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although Pho Lien Hoa offers a phalanx of pho and surfeit of soup items (including Bun Bo Hue, my very favorite), the description of Bo Kho<\/strong><\/em> (Vietnamese pot-roasted beef stew, fragrant with lemongrass, star anise and cinnamon with rice noodles) was impossible to resist.\u00a0 This enchanting elixir lived up to its description–and then some.\u00a0 You’ll luxuriate in the olfactory-pleasing aromas and lively flavors of the broth which paired the assertiveness of lemongrass with the delicate sweetness of star anise and cinnamon.\u00a0 Pot roast slices were generous.\u00a0 So were utterly wonderful pieces of fatty tripe.\u00a0 Either of the two noodle options-egg noodles and rice noodles–will work well with the broth (my choice was the egg noodles).\u00a0 In some ways the Bo Kho might remind you of caldo de res, the popular Mexican soup.\u00a0 At the risk of alienating Mexican readers, Bo Kho is even better.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio Bowl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For my Kim, visits to Vietnamese restaurants aren’t a quest to discover new and exciting entrees.\u00a0 It’s to compare vermicelli noodle bowls<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Vermicelli noodle bowls have a Pavlonian effect on her.\u00a0 Her very favorite lists grilled marinated pork and crispy egg rolls as chief ingredients.\u00a0Her current favorite vermicelli noodle bowl comes from Saigon City<\/strong><\/a> in Albuquerque though she may now have a new favorite.\u00a0 At Pho Lien Hoa, all vermicelli noodle bowls are also served with bean sprouts, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, mint leaves and crushed peanuts with a side of fish sauce.\u00a0 The grilled marinated pork has a superb grilled flavor ameliorated with traditional spices and marinated in heaven.\u00a0 Seriously!<\/p>\n

I suspect some people visit Pho Lien Hoa to see the robot servers in action.\u00a0 That’s a one-time event.\u00a0 The next time they visit, it’ll be for some of the very best Vietnamese food in the state.<\/p>\n
