Oh my my my...... the reviews seem to be all over the place but consistent four stars for some reason. You all are going to want to nail Me to the Cross for this but you want my honest opinion no? Okay don't read then. ;)
I am going to start with the good, the food was very good from what I ate tonight. I had the Pho with the fatty brisket and steak. I usually test the broth first before putting absolutely anything in there to see if something needs to be added and I must have gotten the good batch because I've seen what the other reviewers said and that it was watered down, maybe I got the bottom of the barrel? I also ordered the pork spring roll which was really good accompanied by the peanut sauce on the side, add the chili pepper that is in the bottle for better spicy flavoring. The pork was flavorful and tender. I also ordered the Vietnamese pork sandwich to go and while it is sitting in my refrigerator right now, probably not fair to review about it since taking it out and microwave in a little bit is going to give it a stale texture. Oh, quickly back to the broth, did not have to add anything to it but I still had chili because I like the spicy flavoring, meat was tender not overcooked and the right portion.
And now we bad, oh boy...... would it be kind of awkward if you were a server just coming to the table not to say anything but just standing there hovering over the guest Ana bit even a greet? Yes that is the kind of service you get here, not hello can I get you something to drink or would you like a few minutes? Just stood there so to play along I just didn't bother looking up and pretend to not know my surroundings. She finally said something and then I responded could I get some water with no ice with with the side of silence? I know, it was not a nice to do, I will not do it again she was a sweet lady. Then there was the bathroom issue with no soap. Walking to the restroom to wash my hands I can see the guy sitting on a stool in the kitchen and with bare hands doing egg rolls or something no gloves, I guess this is a common practice, who knows but when mother does Eggrolls, she put gloves on, maybe she has me spoiled. So after I tell the waitress that there is no soap in the restrooms and wondered how do the kitchen guys wash their hands after the dirty duty if there is no soap? She said the owner is going to get some soap, go ahead and use the soap in the women's restroom. That was not the point miss...... . Back on out after finally getting my hands washed I sit back at the table and wait for my food
This is true Asian service meaning it's the drop and run away. If you should ever need something be ready to flail your hands or something because you will not get a return visit.
The place was kind of clean hence the guy trying to mop around me so I got to eat my food with a nice flowery scent. They might want to put a wet floor sign out because the floor was pretty slick looking on that concrete while people still walking in and out. You know how people are these days
Then, while trying to eat there comes this constant banging on the kitchen floor, I guess they were killing somebody's meal for half an hour but very unpleasant experience for me trying to eat here but I guess I got the good batch of soup with the bad service and noisy pounding from the kitchen. Will I be back? Maybe in about a year or if I'm desperate, really though the food is really good.
