Pho Poll: Do You Want a Vietnamese Restaurant on Humphrey?

A Zoning Board of Appeals meeting last week sent a proposed Vietnamese restaurant at 286 Humphrey Street back to the drawing board.

The applicants, Nam Nguyen and Tho Thi Lam-Nguyen, will need to return with more plans before they secure a permit to renovate the building, formerly occupied by an insurance company and law firm. The restaurant would seat 61 diners inside and 20 outside.

The proposal was met with opposition from some neighbors. One neighbor said the delivery truck noise and the proposed dumpster would create problems for his property.

The Swampscott restaurant plans to serve a variety of traditional fare including a Vietnamese specialty called pho, a soup with rice noodles, chicken or beef, vegetables, bean sprouts, lime, Thai basil and other ingredients.

What do you think? Pho, yes or no?
