I use to be Pho -Bic about Pho places. As an ex vegetarian I still have a lot of meat phobias. Vietnamese food is fresh and simple and they use all parts of the animal that I find scary. 
Pho Central is has friendly attentive service. I think they are family run and this is good honest family recipes. The broth they use for their PHO SOUP is delicious you can taste the star anise and cinnamon. Beef and pork dishes outstanding, lots of lemongrass. Everything comes with a side of sprouts and fresh Thai Basil and wedges of lime. You will get a cup of green tea to wash it down. You can also do the Pho "dry style" with the broth on the side. Highlights for me were the Thai Basil, Green Tea, Vermecelli Noodles, spring rolls with the dark sweet soy, hot sauces at the table, fresh jalepenos and lime with your dish, beef thinly sliced. Everything tasted clean and fresh. I want to eat like this all the time. I went two days in a row and they recognized me. Comments I overheard from other patrons were positive. I hope Pho Central remains a neighbourhood staple for a long time.
