An early morning visit to the slice of Chandler south of the 202 meant we ended up hungry and ready for breakfast, but we don't really know the area at all. Fortunately for us, Google Maps pointed us to Pho Ngoc, were we sat down for pho and banh. The restaurant must be newly opened, as we saw a lot...
