My friend and I recently discovered that there's a Pho restaurant in this area, so we decided to give it a try. Also, it's good to support local businesses. We've been to this restaurant twice.
The first time, my friend ordered to-go. When we entered, there were a few customers and only 2 staff members working at the front. We weren't sure where to sit or where to order, but a girl told us we can order at the counter.
We went with the seafood pho and the Vietnamese coffee. We were going to order Thai iced tea, but they didn't have it. It took a while for the food to get ready and when we checked it later on after getting to my friend's house, the quail eggs and scallops were not in the containers. Note: Double check your to-go orders prior to leaving, so you can make sure you received what the menus stated.
Their menus were a bit misleading. So just FYI, they don't serve beers and Thai iced tea even though they are on the menu. For the second time, we went to the restaurant again because it was close by and did not want to deal with traffic.
We got the rare beef pho, fresh spring rolls, seafood omelette pancake, and Vietnamese coffee. The pho was good, beef wasn't bad. The rolls were alright, some of the pork pieces seemed uncooked so we picked those out. The sauce that came with it was pretty good.
The seafood omelette pancake was pretty big and came with big lettuce pieces along with sliced cucumbers and carrots with mints on top. The clear sauce paired well with the dish. Lastly, the coffees were good I guess. I don't really drink coffee and I don't know what Vietnamese coffee is supposed to taste like, but my friend liked it both times and said that it's strong. It has condensed milk btw, so if you are allergic to milk, this is probably not for you.
While we were still eating, the waiter asked us if he can bring the check because his shift was ending soon. We weren't too sure about paying already because it has happened before that servers have abandoned us after we paid while we were still eating. But we were almost done so it was fine. Overall, the food and the service were alright.
