Wow. Been meaning to try this for a while, and I kind of regret finally doing so. Where to start...
First, it's worth noting their online pricing is outdated. I ordered the pork egg rolls and chicken curry to go. When I opened the egg rolls it looked kind of sparse. I looked back on the site and saw it's advertised as 6, not the 4 I received. Apparently they have not updated their website to reflect this.
Taste wise the egg rolls were okay, very taro heavy. Could not taste the pork inside. Curry was VERY ginger heavy, and I was already sick and congested, which dulled my taste! The spicy was all burn from ginger. As someone who otherwise loves ginger flavored things, this was not it. Ginger is supposed to be an aromatic to balance flavors, but not take over the entire flavor profile of a dish, which is what it did here. It also lacked that slightly bright, creamy flavor of other Viet curries.
It also might be worth noting the potato in the curry was subbed out with more taro. If you don't like taro, this is an FYI. Very different texture from potato. One piece of chicken was terribly hard and chewy compared to others, not sure if it was a reheated piece from another day, and all the chicken was quite grey looking anyway. Bread that came with it was decent.
Since this was to-go, I only experienced customer service over the phone. The flair was what you'd expect, culturally speaking. Get your food and go, oh our online prices changed? Too bad.
While I appreciate the experience of trying a new place, now I know to stick to good old Mr. Pho.
