Upon walking in we were greeted right away and told to sit anywhere we pleased. On a late Friday night, the restaurant was pretty busy considering there aren't many dining options open past 9 pm in the area.
My partner had ordered a large pho and the waitress recommended I try the Bun Bo Hue, which was my first time trying that dish. I've heard a lot of raves about Bun Bo Hue and was excited to give it a try.
When the waitress brought our utensils, we requested a new set because the ones we were given appeared to have left over food residue. On the spoons, you can see a brownish-red substance that usually occurs over time when not scrubbed properly. The forks were not cleaned well also. When she came to replace the utensils, one of the spoons were still dirty and one was much cleaner. So, we decided to not to bother them anymore regarding this and didn't use the spoon.
As far as the tastiness of the food, I'd say it was mediocre (and my partner agreed with me on this as well). Both broths were bland and lacking flavor. My boyfriend's pho, was primarily noodles and not enough meat. Therefore, the meat to noodle ratio was definitely not even. The Bun Bo Hue just tasted like Pho broth with the addition of spicy chili powder or flakes. It was certainly disappointing.
However, the waiter was friendly and patient. She checked in with us and the other customers after we received our food. I have no complaints regarding the service but, unfortunately we won't be returning.
