Visit and Queue Information

Since it's located inside LaLaport Toyosu, it seems to be crowded with families and shoppers depending on the time of day.

It's not a food court, but a type of restaurant with seating inside, so it's nice that it's easy to relax and enjoy your meal.

It is said that there is an all-you-can-eat green curry at lunchtime, and since Toyosu is also a business district, it can get crowded, especially on weekdays.

Ordering and Payment

Spicy Pho (Spicy Vietnamese Rice Noodles)

This time, “Spicy Pho (Spicy Vietnamese Rice Noodles) (1,280 yen)” I ordered.

Considering it as Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles), 1,280 yen feels like a slightly bullish price setting.

However, considering that it is located in a commercial facility called LaLaport Toyosu, I guess it can't be helped that it is in this price range.

Recently, it has become common for menu items to cost over 1,000 yen at restaurants in food courts and commercial facilities, so if you think about it as a Toyosu price, it may be standard.

So let's have it.

Soup

The soup looks like a combination of kimchi and tom yum.

It has sour and pungent taste, and as the name suggests, it is spicy.

However, rather than the unique flavor typical of Southeast Asian cuisine, it feels more like a spicy soup that is familiar to Japanese people.

It has a bit of sourness like tom yum goong, but it doesn't have a strong scent like lemongrass or fish sauce.

If anything, it has a familiarity similar to kimchi hotpot or spicy soup.

Therefore, I think the taste is easy to eat even for people who are not very good at ethnic cuisine.

On the other hand, those who are expecting the aroma of authentic Vietnamese or Southeast Asian cuisine may find it a little unsatisfying.

Personally, I feel like it's more of an Asian noodle tailored for Japanese people than Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles).

As a store in a commercial facility, I think they are trying to make it more appealing to everyone.

Noodles

The noodles are flat rice noodles, so this area has a distinct Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles) feel.

It has a smooth texture and a moderate texture.

It's not too soft and unreliable, and the noodles themselves aren't bad.

Rice noodles have a unique lightness, so the good thing about them is that they are not too heavy compared to ramen or udon.

It goes well with the soup and lifts the spicy soup just right.

I think that my satisfaction as Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles) is guaranteed to some extent by the noodles.

However, since the direction of the soup is quite Japanese, the noodles are Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles), but the overall impression is a little less ethnic.

Mushidori (Steamed Chicken)

The ingredients include steamed chicken.

This one felt a little dry.

It feels more like regular steamed chicken than moist and juicy.

If you eat it while soaking it in the soup, you won't notice it as much, but if you ask me if it's very satisfying as an ingredient, it's not that big of a deal.

Rather than the chicken itself having a strong flavor, it feels like it's just one of the ingredients in Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles).

The soup is spicy, so it goes well with the plain steamed chicken.

However, considering the price, I would be happy if it was a little more moisturizing.

Mizuna (Japanese Mustard Greens)

Personally, the most disappointing thing is that Pakuchi (Cilantro) is not included by default.

By default, Mizuna is on top, and Pakuchi (Cilantro) is a paid topping.

This may be a consideration for those who are not good at Pakuchi (Cilantro).

However, I think many people who want to eat Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles) are looking for something that tastes like ethnic food to some extent, and many of them have an tolerance for Pakuchi (Cilantro).

Of course, I'm sure there are some people who don't like Pakuchi (Cilantro).

In that case, I feel like all you have to do is tell them without Pakuchi (Cilantro) when ordering.

Considering the dish Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles), I think it would be more satisfying if Pakuchi (Cilantro) was included by default, even if it was a small amount.

By using mizuna, it instantly becomes more Japanese noodle-like.

This is also a point where I felt that it was customized for Japanese people.

Impressions and Rating

COMPHO Urban Dock LaLaport Toyosu's "Spicy Pho (Spicy Vietnamese Rice Noodles)” gave the impression that it was Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles) customized for Japanese people.

The soup is spicy, like a combination of kimchi and tom yum, and is easy to eat.

The noodles are flat rice noodles, which is typical of Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles).

The noodles themselves aren't bad, and the good thing about them is that they're light to eat.

On the other hand, the aroma and taste typical of authentic Southeast Asian cuisine are modest.

In particular, it was a little disappointing that Pakuchi (Cilantro) was not included by default, considering it was Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles).

The mizuna on top makes it easier to eat, but the feeling of eating Pho (Vietnamese Rice Noodles) is a little weaker.

I think that in order for a shopping mall like LaLaport Toyosu to continue operating, it needs to have a taste that appeals to everyone.

In places where there are many families and shoppers, it is likely that people will choose flavors that are easy for everyone to eat rather than ones that are too authentic.

In that sense, this may be the right direction for a store in a commercial facility.

It's good for a quick bite to eat while shopping in Toyosu, but if you were to ask me to go out of my way just to have this drink, I don't think it's worth it.
