PHO VIET VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT & OH! BUBBLE TEA — Restaurant in Newington

Got take out. Absolutely miserable. Ordered the Com Ga Xao Sa Ot - (Chicken with lemongrass, peppers and requested no onions, extra spicy.)

Miserable, deeply miserable. The dish had tons of onions, inexplicably tomatoes, the rice was overcooked and hard to the point of almost having a hard layer to it. The chicken in my photos was poor in the worst ways possible.

The chicken was overcooked, to the point of being so over done it squeaked as I chewed it. As you can see it also isn't even sheered off from the general tendons or gristle. Multiple pieces are like this, making attempting to get to the actual meat a chore to hunt.

Spice level was slightly above black pepper. The flavor was barely there.

My partner got the Hu Tieu Bo Kho ( Vietnamese Beef with Rice Noodle)

Again, subpar levels of meat quality ruin the meal, the beef I'm told is the same quality of Din Ty Moore. The absolute lowest grade above pet food.

This is baffling. I've never had a single Vietnamese meal in the dozens Vietnamese restaurants I've tried that resembled anything as close to as low a quality as this.

I truly have no idea how they have the current 4.6 rating they have. Tried it once, won't do it again, complete disappointment and waste of money.

Avoid, there's plenty of places that are doing amazing things in the area if you want.

I'm going to shamelessly plug Thai 29 in New Britain, because you can get a much better meal for the price range.

Seriously not sure how if folks ate what I ate, they are thinking this place is worth anything beyond the 2 I'm throwing down in food.

It was edible, bland, overcooked, poorly seasoned, and improperly prepared with subpar meat.

If the owners read this review - you went too cheap with your poor ingredients and lost a customer and gained a bad review.

Folks are paying $12-$20 a plate and you're trying to being cheap on your basic...

I have been going to this place for years, in fact ever since it opened. It used to be a really good place but not so anymore. Over the past year or so the waitress they hired has been incredibly rude to me. Every time I come in, she seems disgusted I'm there. Around this time my orders have been repetitively wrong and I've been charged more money but never offered the difference in their mistake back on more than one occasion. I have been given rotten vegetables that had mold or the lid on my soup wasn't put on causing it to spill everywhere several times. I check the lid everytime now but seeing it off or loose so many times is disheartening. Today the waitress couldn't even hand me my order she placed it randomly on the counter away from me for me to get. I am once again missing ingredients in my order. I've tried to give them several chances but there are other pho places. The food tastes great when they get it right but between the mistakes and utter rudeness, this place has lost a very long...
