Pho Viet Huong — Restaurant in Prague

I ordered pho bo and got a rice noodle soup, made from chicken bouillon cubes (not even from pho concentrate). Outrageous? In Prague maybe not really.. With stiff competition for customers, Prague's vietnamese outfits should be making more effort than they were used. Pho soups seem to be a standard fare in many places nowadays. But with the cost of over 100 czk, pho needs to prove that it's not just some other 'noodle' soup. The key is the broth; if it's not made by boiling bones and meat for 6-8 hours, with the right spices, it's NOT pho. Not everyone can tell the difference though, so some cooks take advantage of this and cheat. But if you eat a 'real' pho few times, you should be able to tell the difference, and then comment on your experience. Your voice may...

I was first to order but I received my order after the following who ordered after me: a) a Vietnamese lady (not sure if affiliated with the place) b) a couple who ordered two meals to take away c) another customer

Given that you have to order and pay up front (no service here), this is all the more awkward, as you can't simply walk away. I had to remind the man behind the counter that I was expecting a meal, too. This is unacceptable and therefore I'm giving 1 star (Edit: there are two older ladies serving now in 2024 and it's gotten much better) This place is OK for purely Vietnamese dishes but I do not recommend...

This is the worst Vietnamese food I have ever had. Our supposedly fresh spring rolls were dry as if they've been sitting in a fridge all day. I had vermicelli noodles with chicken. It was extremely bland and half was lettuce. My wife had stir fried noodles but they were very salty, with little chicken. I can see why they make you pay for your meal when you order it. You don't feel like paying for this bad food later....
