My schedule in the last two weeks has been extremely grueling and I’ve been finding it rather difficult to go grocery shopping for a homemade meal.  So between takeout and eating out, I was ecstatic to hear that one of my favorite uptown restaurants opened its doors at a downtown location.  With a more to-go type of menu and still maintaining all the flavor, OBAO has transferred its eclectic fusion of Southeast Asian flavors to a quaint corner down south.  So venturing from my usual order of chicken Pad Kee Mao/ Drunken Noodles (FAVE), I paired my order of dumplings with Pho (more about).  Now, it isn't fair for me to give a review on Pho considering my taste buds have visited Vietnam and lived near Westminister, CA, but I will definitely say that the meal was an absolute nom-nom-nom fest and this was a perfect meal for a cold fall day, leaving me with only one question - can I have some more please?
