Pho Van — Restaurant in Spokane

Our dining experience was started by the coldest waitress ever, didn't ask if we wanted drinks, just sat us and off to chat with her coworkers. Itall went downhill from there. We did get to order our drinks after sipping on the cup of water which tasted like it came from a garden hose, at which point we were told the Thai tea is from a can (Vietnamese place ok no biggie) We ordered, splitting a plate and appetizer between my wife and me. We ordered from their Chinese (I guess) section in the menu ordering a chicken dish with lo mien. I can't even recall the dishes name. We also ordered pot stickers. Both times we received our order on one plate, no biggie. Both times food was tossed on the table and waitress was five feet away. The pot stickers- they were severely freezer burnt, which was covered up with a good dip in the deep fryer making them super hard and very disgusting (no biggie, starving by this point so begrudgingly ate in hopes for better entree) . The chicken dish- wow. What an utter fecal show! The sauce was the color of orange drank (I use the word drank because it's not juice, kool aide or anything you'd buy at the store, if you were raised poor and spent any time at the YMCA you know the drank I speak of) and it was thick, like jello right before it sets. This lovely sauce tasted like it looked and it rested atop four or five chicken nuggets (literally look like chicken nuggets from McDonald's) oh the noodles - straight up ramen- not good ramen (if anyone in Spokane even knows what good ramen is- highly doubt it if this place gets 4.5stars?!!)but .15 cent package ramen- too much sesame oil used when they reheated the noodles and frozen veggies, which gave the whole dish a very unpleasant burnt taste. All in all the single worst dish I...

In Spokane, for a delivery, I heard of this spot from a friend, so I decided to check it out. Was greeted by 2 ladies as I came in. One was a server, and I believe the second lady was maybe the owner. The server lady came towards me, I walked behind her, and she started asking every table how the food was, if everything was good. I thought nothing of it until I followed her around the whole restaurant, and neither her nor the other lady said anything. Finally, I got seated and provided a menu right away, I went with the pho dac biet. Beef broth, rice noodles, eye round steak, well done lean meat, meat ball & soft tendon. Sprouts, jalapeños were given on the side. Pho was superb, with excellent taste, lean meat was perfectly cooked, meatballs were delicious, tendons were tender, sprouts, and jalapeños gave it a nice crunch. I added some oil chili to help the jalapeños give it a nice spice. It was a good portion and was also filling. Everything was exquisite and flavorful. Would have given it 5 stars, but first the incident when I came in and also when I went to pay. The owner lady took my card and told me to sign one copy and wait for my card and my receipt. She hands me my card only, now I'm waiting for a receipt, this lady she goes back to working as if I wasn't even there anymore... totally dumbfounded. I said ok..... thank you... She didn't even look at me and gave what sounded like a forceful mumbling thank you. Would not be back due to the lack of service I received. I would advise you to try at your...

Our dining experience was not so great here, we've been on the road for the past few days and just looking for a great soup place in town. Pick this place cuz it have lots of good reviews but turn out very disappointed. When we first enter the establishment the waiter send us to go to a corner by ourselves and then he brought us some waters didn't ask if we wanted drinks( the water taste gross by the way). After that he asked if we are ready to ordered and we don't even have a menu to look at(he didn't give us the menu). But we didn't care too much since we know exactly what we want. My 5 and 7 years olds wants Pho with meat ball and I wanted spicy beef noddle( did I mentioned that their pho cost $10.99) I was shocked!!!!! For amount they charged for a bowl of beef noddle here $10.99 I thought it would be exceptional!!!! Beside getting the big bowl of soup broth and noodle, 2 pieces of steam pork about 1x2 inches in size and a few pieces of tendons, that's​ it. Its barely taste like spicy beef noodle. This is not how spicy beef noddle is made. And for "Pho" my 5 @7 years old boys said the only thing good was the meatball and pho was disgusting. My boys love pho and I can't believe the words that they used to described it. I'd also order a rice combination to go to try but they didn't have it made. The service was not the best and the food is very expensive. Its worse than panda express service. If you can't find another Pho place in town this pho place should be your...
