I have been spoiled and very particular about food is that my wife was a very good cook. Eating out is the only option when we are lazy to prepare meal. A friend of my sister-on-law recommended this new eatery, Ban Toi Restaurant. I was about to stop by Pho Le again but opted out because some other reasons. This Ban Toi 'restaurant' should think about changing their statue to attrack more customers both open-minded or a bit of western and old culture minded. It looks like a bit more than an eatery with nice and decent setup of modern furniture - I really like their choices for granite tables, and heavy duty chair. They are comfortable, not as flimsy as most asian 'restaurant'. Now the food... Our friend told us that the beef noodles aka 'pho' is really good, more than others. I decided to pick 'mì quãng', noodle soup Quang style because I could not find a good place to make the just right broth. After more than 36 years, I am able to enjoy this 'mì quãng' again. I had to exclaim... it was really good. My wife and my sister-in-law picked the chicken noodle soup. Like I said, she really loved the broth because it was the heart and soul of the soup. The chicken... it was the really cage-free chicken or 'gà đi bộ'. The texture of chicken was chewy and really tasty - if you have eaten commercially or industrially raised chicken, you know what I meant. We really enjoyed the food, and the place's casual atmosphere. That was why I do rethink about calling the place a restaurant or eatery. At the end of the day, I strongly recommend you to pay a visit. So far, they will have 3 more regular customers. My next visit of beef noodle, I will...
Read moreI've come to this restaurant a few times. And whilst the food was decent, tonight I saw a roach crawling across the table. I was so embarrassed for them I abruptly asked for the check. I paid tipped and left deciding to never go back... When I got home I stripped in my front hall and found one IN MY CLOTHES. At this point Im livid, so I called the restaurant to tell them and they point blank said I made it up, whilst proceeding to tell me to come back and look at the camera as if you can see a roach on a table from a camera. The icing on the cake was him telling me he couldn't have roaches cause the exterminator is there every two weeks... Why in the world would you need such frequent extermination visits if there isn't a problem to begin with...
All I'm saying if there is one roach in the front there are probably a multitude in the back.
Eat here at the risk of...
Read moreFirst time here, wanted to give it a try. The services was ok, however the food portion is small and expensive. When the bill came they charged more than what’s listed on the menu, I’ve asked why is it different from the menu. The “boss” told me they’ve changed the price since covid and is waiting on a new menu!! Are you serious? I’ve ordered what is listed on the menu, so because you’re waiting on the menu u can charged me whatever you want? Not only that they didn’t even acknowledge and fix my bill!!! Will not recommend this place. It was so empty and...
