Pho 99 Vietnamese - Daly City

I heard big things about Pho 99, so I decided to try it tonight. I ordered the #21, Special Combo with Shrimp, Squid, Fish Cake Slices Imitation Crabmeat. I was surprised that the article description did not list fish balls as an ingredient, but I decided to try it anyway. There were a few pieces of imitation cancer, but about 4 large shrimps and several slices of fish cake and squid. I wasn't disappointed by the crowd, but I know I like fishballs in this court. I usually ask about half the normal amount of noodles, but I don't have today. I should definitely have because the court was more than half pasta. There was not much room for broth when you consider the amount of seafood also in the dish. That was a bit disappointing because I was hoping for a nice brothy soup on a cold rainy night like today. I could have lived with the little broth if that was the only problem. However, the broth was not very hot at all! Actually, it was rather warm. That's a key feature of Pho, right? So hot that it cooked the meat? The tea was hotter than the broth. I was very surprised that the soup literally came 2 minutes after my order. That could have done something about why it wasn't very hot... I can't be sure. I think I have to give him another chance, either confirm or refuse if I really like this place or not.
