Mobara Japanese and Ipho Vietnamese Restaurants — Restaurant in Adelaide

When iPho was it’s own thing. At the start of it, it was great, was one of my go to places, than it was ok and then it was pretty bad… Then it became apart of Mobara… well.. Ok so.. I have been coming back to Mobara multiple times actually, giving it benefit of the doubt many times, hoping they have changed or just did better than the last experience every time. Myself, friends and family have gone here many times before, at the start when it opened, it was pretty good.. now… well…

Now to tell you guys, if you are looking for Vietnamese food, go elsewhere. Want Japanese food, go elsewhere.

I am pretty confused with this place actually. Not sure what they actually serve anymore. One time I ordered Pho and the bowl of soup was actually so disgusting I wanted to vomit. I walked off. The soup colour was dirty, the fat and oil was covering the bowl and the colour was like mud. This isn’t Pho. I have had plenty and this ain’t it. The vegetables they served up was dried, old and stale and to mention it looked off. They are not usually always busy, they prepare the food and leave it there and it gets all dried and old. They assume I don’t know… no, people know. People who loves Pho.. knows. That’s so bad.. like why would you serve up a bowl of dirty looking soup and old veggies. You know the meat didn’t even look fresh and it smelt so bad. Ok, now that’s just one of the reasons. There’s a lot more and I could go on… seriously.. the food does not even taste that great like it use to. It use to be good and enjoyable and very presentable. Now they just serve up whatever. Anyway, I’m saying that.. I hope it has changed since. That’s just my experience that I was...

I used to come here alot and the waiters knew we were the usuals for sushi & sugar cane drink. Now iPho had come back to run the place , the menu changed and the food is bad !!! So i stopped coming for a long time , today i went in for 2 sugar cane drink and the guy tells me which straw they give out for it , i knew something was going to happen because they gave the usual straws not the one with the sharp bottoms like chatime gives....

So i decided we will put it in inside the resturant and it popped the first cup everywhere & they offered to fix things up, now the second one popped under the cup and came pouring out like a tap for a good 3 seconds till my partner stopped it by holding it with a tissue and when we told them they started yelling saying it was our fault & they wont give me another drink to replace the second one.

Give out proper straws !!!!! Now if i was in the wrong , you think ill let yous keep my $14.14 ? Check your cameras if you think im lying !

The right thing would be to give me my refund but knowing vietnamese , i wont see that money back so it could go towards writing this review !

Worst customer service ! At least i hope you check your...

Food was underwhelming. Ordered the roast pork and egg fried rice which was good but vegetables such as cucumber and tomato on the plate were dried out. Pork wasn’t really crispy and lacked flavour but the rice was really well done. The karage chicken curry rice was okay. Not crispy and not enough sauce for the massive amount of rice served on the hot stone plate which evaporated the sauce even more. Lastly the pork ramen was so sad. No flavour in the broth, given four massive pieces of thick cut pork which were like 1.5 cm thick which were also really fatty and got sickening to eat really fast. Used to thin sliced chashu with my ramen, this didn’t fit my preference. Also served in a hot cast iron bowl so the noodles got over cooked and soggy. The portions here are absolutely massive so if you have an appetite and don’t really care for flavour and looking for a bargain, this is the place. I would’ve preferred a smaller portion with better flavours and more attention to prep. Prices were average and settings was nice but our table was sticky and cutlery had dried onion stuck on it. Service was great from one server and miserable...
