A good pho place should specialize in it, as in 2/3s or more of the patrons are eating it when you walk in. The key is the broth. The noodles and meat, you or I can buy from the store. If they overcook the noodles or serve low quality meat, that's one thing, but possibly correctable. If the broth is bad, that's a recipe flaw that can't ever be overcome.

Turnover should be fast, you don't want broth that has been simmering for too long. Water will have evaporated off and the proportion of spices won't be right.

Lastly, any decent place should be able to get you a bowl in front of you within 5 minutes of walking in. Any longer and they're just too slow to be very good.

not really sure why the car culture died off so fast in young kids. none of the younger people i know really care. when i was 16 it was the coolest thing to drive down main street newark and do a few laps.
