Out of all the food hall restaurants to try, this is the one that I picked and I was okay with my decision. You can sit at the bar there and eat so you don't have to worry about seating even though there's plenty of seating throughout the food hall.
You'll run maybe around 15 to $17 for a meal and you can get pho or you can get a vermecelli bowl. I got the bowl with chicken and it was pretty good. Now for the size of the boat it wasn't really a lot, considering I would expect it to be full for the most part. It came with a lot of vegetables, a spring roll (which was the size of a baby leg), chicken and noodles, and it came with a couple of sauces. Now you could barely see the noodles because there weren't that many of them so it made the bowl look a little bit empty considering the fact that if you had gotten ramen it will be full to the brim (even though ramen has broth). So I feel like you don't get enough considering how much you're paying but what you do pay for it does taste good. Now also, the sauces that they gave I need it to put on the meal. I feel like it wasn't good standalone, it wasn't good just as is, even though the chicken was seasoned. I felt like whatever the soy ginger sesame sausage gave, I think that's what it was, had to happen for the food to be good like I expected to be good. It was only okay without the sauce. I actually ordered a couple more and basically dumped it on my meal. It was a okay meal without a, but the sauce definitely took it somewhere. It just makes me think to the fact to wear if I need sauce to make the meal a success, it was only a par meal to begin with. At least the sauce was good! That's the positive part about it, I loved the sauce.
Overall, it was a pretty ok experience, but I know if there are better restaurants there, and better Asian aspired restaurants in the area. Would I go back if I was in the area, it's possible but not for sure. Am I upset with my experience, absolutely not. The service was super friendly and super nice. Honestly But I feel like I can get more bang for my buck elsewhere honestly. Especially because they're about 15 other spots in this specific Krog street market food hall to try.
