What happened here? Last time we ate here about 6 months ago, it was really good, but today was very disappointing. Broth was extremely oily. Beef was all clumped together. They gave us two tiny slices of lime.

Still not convinced? Go to Bang Na or The Walk stores so you can try it yourself. You will not regret it. It might just be the best food trip you will ever do. Don't forget to bring your family, a friend, or a...
