The good ones always die young

It's possible to find almost everything you might want in Shanghai, from western food, to Skippy peanut butter, to Marmite to El Paso Taco Shells.  Strangely though, good Vietnamese food, namely a decent bowl of pho, is nearly non-existent in Beijing or Shanghai.  Start a conversation with a foodie in either of these two cities and inevitably  the topic will turn to Vietnamese and the lack of genuine places.  

In the past, there have been a couple okay places -- Pho 54 in Beijing, Bamboo in Shanghai, but nowhere really good, even at inflated prices.

About a year ago, we stumbled across Pho King, a little place that we found through ShBite.com, a local food delivery company.  Aside from having a kickass name, they had great pho -- good amounts of thin sliced rare beef, tasty broth, and plenty of the fixins -- lemon, bean sprouts, Thai basil...

Nothing good lasts.  I just found out that Pho King closed down, victim of some landlord lease dispute.  There are plenty of bad restaurants in this city, why this one???  Looking for new suggestions
