I am not really happy with the experience. Mint-chicken noodle soup tasted just about how I thought it would taste. All the added garden leftovers they brought out on a side plate didn't help a lot. Spouts, endive(??), jalapenos, cilantro, and other stuff.
Also, why serve half a head of lettuce with my four egg rolls ordered as an appetizer? Am I supposed to wrap the lettuce around the egg role before eating/dipping it? Do I use it to wipe my chin? Very messy and confusing. So much assembly required for the whole meal.

I hear now that I could have asked for it mint-free. That chicken meat was so bland, it was like it had been boiled in plain water, twice. If that soup had no mint in it, there would have been no taste at all.

Def shoulda gone with your last option for the most flavor. Chicken is generally only on the menu to please people who want variety or those who don't eat beef. We have a really popular Pho place in Arlington that always has a line on the weekends and they serve only Beef Pho and nothing else (except desserts). menu: http://washingtondc.menupages.com/restaurants/pho-75-2/menu
And I always add the Hoison Sauce (dark purple/black/brown sauce) as well as some Sriracha (red). I enjoy all the herbs/veggies they include with the Pho and make sure to throw those in as well. I don't know anything about the place you went, but the broth can make or break the soup, some places are better than others.
And of course there is the multiplier affect on how good it is if you are hungover or sick.

yeah, like the others said, you're not supposed to eat it straight up, you're supposed to put hoisin and/or sriracha sauce in there. with the mint and the bean sprouts etc. it's delicious. I prefer beef pho because it has a very rich flavor, but chicken is great as well.

Another caller, hampered by a slight slur, botched the pronunciation of the product name before asking whether discount pricing might be available. Finally, he blurted, “I love rooster sauce!†(A strutting rooster, gleaming white against a backdrop of the bright red sauce, dominates Huy Fong’s trademark green-capped clear plastic squeeze bottles.)
“I guess it goes with alcohol,†deadpanned Ms. Lam, who, like David Tran, the 64-year-old founder of Huy Fong and creator of its sauce, is both proud of the product’s popularity and flummoxed by fans’ devotion.
The lure of Asian authenticity is part of the appeal. Some American consumers believe sriracha (properly pronounced SIR-rotch-ah) to be a Thai sauce. Others think it is Vietnamese. The truth is that sriracha, as manufactured by Huy Fong Foods, may be best understood as an American sauce, a polyglot purée with roots in different places and peoples.
