Unfortunately decided to give this place a try and was not too impressed. Everything from deceitful "2.5 service charge and run down menus/seats."
Someone recommended this place but I'm sure they are not even a shadow of what they used to be. The parking is very easy to find because it's in a desolated shopping center.
The waiter seems to have been new but he was very courteous and definitely commend him for his good service. As for the food I know pho or Ramen tends to be salty but this was a bit overboard with the sodium. The menu has a bunch of chicken scratch and white out of what the prices used to be. Which is what I would have paid for this food. I understand inflation makes prices go up but it's just not worth the value for the food. Taking into consideration the quality and amount of protein included.
At the entrance there is a paper torn in half that mentions the penalization for paying with credit card. It's understood that merchant services charges a nominal fee to process transactions ... but if you already jacked up the prices ridiculous amounts don't look to chip away at the customers making a quick dime charging a fee that customers excited to eat pass at the door. I thought I was the only person thinking it but as I exited two other people walking out also were speaking about how expensive and how it was not worth it. Only conforming what I thought.
Honestly I'm no expert but if you want decently priced ramen/pho type soup z Ramen is still king in the area.
Really wanted to give the place a chance but they for sure lost me a potential customer...
Read moreDriven by this place so many times, interesting name, wanted to try it and… it was ok.
Fried Shrimp
These were actually pretty decent, wasn’t a bad deal either, the sauce was good, added a nice touch of sweetness and slight spice to it, overall satisfied with this appetizer. A lot of places have these fried egg rolls with shrimp, but these were good.
Pho Tastic
Well, this is the signature Pho bowl, as it’s named after the restaurant itself, and it was just… ok. For 16 bucks, I don’t think it’s worth it, maybe if they filled the bowl to the top, but even then, it’s just a bit bland, lacking in flavor and creativity, just kind of boring. The quality isn’t good enough to make up for the lack of imagination and innovation, it’s just a plain bowl of soup with a bunch of different unseasoned beef in it, nothing special, not worth the price.
In the end I was debating between a 2 star and 3 star, but the food wasn’t bad, it was just underwhelming and a bit overpriced, and the service wasn’t too bad either. But the charge a near 3 PERCENT SERVICE FEE, so their tax is 10 percent, that’s some bull. So, I decided to give a 2.
Overall disappointing experience, was hoping for better, but oh well, they can’t all be winners.
Total Price was $46.01, for 2 bowls, 1 order of Fried Shrimp, and a coke. They charge a 2.60% FORCED AUTOMATIC...
Read moreWhat a lovely experience! This was our very first time visiting this restaurant and also my husband's first time having asian style food. The servers were fantastic when welcoming up to the serving. Food is served almost in a 5-8 minutes wait (at least what we order) and the tastiness of it is from another world.
I has the Eye Round Steak Pho and my husband had (I guess I didn't catch the name but it was fantastic) a kind of salad bowl with eye round steak grilled meat, grilled porked, shrimps, egg rolls, sprouts and cucumber salad and rice noodles all tossed with a fish sauce. So fresh!!!!
The Pho can be described into two words: comfort food; is that kind of soup that hugs you and makes you feel warm, cared, loved and full of wonderful flavors.
As for the drinks, we order the passion fruit tea... I just can say Wow! Such delicacy and refreshing tea mixed with pieces of fruit that makes it a cool drink not too sweet and with the delightful part of the fruits bursting into your mouth when sipping it.
We can't wait to go again and try other dishes from this place!
Absolutely recommended for their tasteful cuisine (head chef is vietnamese and has been here in the US for five years), superb custome service provided by the staff and lovely decor and ambience...
