Wow, no infraction. Really surprised. The restaurant is really open with the high ceilings and lots of windows. With just those two factors, my stomach felt really relaxed.

The broth for the noodle soup was really bland, therefore did not make me feel as thirsty because it tasted more natural (I assumed MSG was not added)

The seating did feel a bit crammed though. The condiment tray took up like 1/3 of my table. The server also kept brushing against my jacket which annoyed me.

VERDICT: Open and bright environment combined with natural broth makes my stomach feel like it was lying on the beach in the Caribbeans. WONDER"PHO" EXPERIENCE!! There is an actual restaurant called WonderPho. Although the correct pronunciation is "F-err", but it's a clever name for locals.
