(1) Mike hasn't gotten sick at Pho Asia
(2) David has gotten sick at Pho Asia
(3) Therefore, no one gets sick at Pho Asia
So just b/c you, Mike, haven't gotten sick, you're saying that anyone who has is lying? LOL. Your reasoning skills are poor.
however, i'm sorry to see that it doesn't have the best Dinesafe track record. maybe that one commentator got the runs because he put too much siracha sauce on his food. who knows?
all i can say is that my workmates and I have eaten there (dine-in and take-out) countless times and nobody's ever been sick.
my recommendation = order #316. definitely worth the risk.
ps. commentor david is a dork

man, the place was closed down by public health!!! next time, doubters, if someone says they've gotten food poisoning from eating at a restaurant (in the case me), then don't be so dismissive.
i'm glad they were shut down. you can bet i'll never eat there again and will also warn all my friends.
i just got take-out from there Monday night (Dec 14th), and it was delicious and non-poisony as usual.
and by the way, david, let's not get into name calling. i only called you a dork because of your dorky bullet points. no need to retaliate with sexist insults.
i don't work for Asia 21, and i will go back.
Don't fret, theres a better Pho place just west of there.
I've NEVER been sick from it, and never gotten a dish that even upset my stomach at all or seemed "off"
I highly recommend it.
But really, there's no need for name calling! You could get food poisoning from just about any restaurant. It's all relative kids!
Do not eat in this place! They do have the anti sanitary conditions of this place. During the lunch hour previous Friday, 12 of Nov. I witness cockroach at the dining area on the tables and chairs. Pictures can be provided!

I would hazard a guess that if they don't follow cross-contamination and food safety guidlines that ONCE IN AWHILE they will give someone a minor case of the squirts or an upset stomach, and worst case scenario botulism, salmonella, or a parasite.
Be aware, if it tastes off, and smells funny, don't risk it, or if you see that the rare beef is grey brown instead of light pink and reddish, that might be an indicator of age.
Be safe
