Restaurant Review: Triumph Cafe
As you all know by now, I really love Asian food. Any time we go out to eat, that’s all I want. Awhile ago, me and the girls from work went to Triumph Cafe to test their pho. I love pho, plus this place is cheap and close to work.
Pros: It’s cheap, close to where I work, and the place has a great atmosphere. It’s small, but bright and clean. The grilled meat dishes I sampled were very good, pretty much as good as anywhere else I’ve had them.
Cons: The pho was good, but heavy on the nutmeg and/or cinnamon. Personally, I prefer a more savory broth, with only a hint of sweetness. These guys kind of over-did it. The place is small, and very popular (at least at lunch time), so it was hard to get a table all together.
On the Clever Chick Scale Triumph Cafe gets a “I would definitely eat there again for the good food at good prices, but my quest for the ultimate pho continues”.

Ever since you took me to Masala Wok I haven’t gone one week without eating there. I took a co-worker and now he goes there at least once a week too. Lamb Curry is the bomb! I’m gonna try and get Trina to go.

I’m so glad you liked it!! We used to live near one, and went pretty frequently. Maybe now you can venture out to other Indian restaurants, too!
