    A must visit Everytime I'm in Anchorage. I try something different each time I stop in and have yet to be disappointed. Beware the restaurant can be packed at times, but I've never struggled to find a table. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Anchorage. I'll never forget the time Fast and the Furious 6 was playing on the TV. Pho Lena + FF6 = a collision of my two favorite things.

    Great food. horrible service.

    It was the 6 of us. The bill came out to be just shy of 100 bucks. We left a 15 dollar tip. I see a waitress coming out from the kitchen with my sandwiches I ordered. As I'm approaching her she makes fun of my mother's English and says "she just saying yes, we got order". I was extremely offended but didn't make a big deal out of it. As the waitress hands me the sandwiches, I ask for a bag to put them in and she says rudely that they are 10 cents a bag. I normally wouldn't make a fuss about this but already feeling annoyed I said we just spent a lot of money on food, plus tip and you can't give me a small bag to out my sandwiches in? She wasn't friendly and said it was the law to charge us for the bag. I get it but there's a thing called customer service. They really should of gave me a bag.

    Anyways, the sandwiches were gross. I would recommend that you order take out because the food is pretty good.

    We came here for dinner the other night and it was a decent find.

    Pros:
    + Vegetarian friendly
    + Reasonably priced
    + Plenty of options
    + Quick wait
    + large portion sizes
    + Friendly service

    Cons:
    - "Spicy foods" could definitely use a little more heat

    A plethora of option , Pho Lena is a jack of all trades for your pallet.

    I love the Spring Rolls & love their chicken stir fry with Basil or the option with garlic.

    If your a red curry fan, you won't be disappointed on their options.  

    Never have had to wait for a table, big portion sizes, and quick friendly service had me walking away happy with a satisfied belly!

    Rather pleasant.

    I needed to get lunch to take back to the office to dine El Desko. I called ahead so that I wouldn't have to wait. My food was ready right on time. I ordered one of the "HOT" curry dishes with chicken. I did not ask for the heat to be increased because I did not know how hot their hot was.
    Do not be afraid to have them increase the heat. The chicken had an odd texture to it, kind of grainy, tough. The flavor was very mild but nice. The dish was not bad, it's strong point was the value for the money. I will go again and try something else. I will also ask them to ratchet up the heat a bit.
