I don’t know who is saying this place is affordable. Also make sure you check your receipt when you get it - they don’t input the name of the orders correctly so you really have to break it down to make sure they don’t cheat you. Luckily we were surprised by how expensive our meal was and checked and they charged us for an extra drink and bowl of noodles!
There is definitely better Hu Tieu places, and my sister and I had some stomach issues when we got home! Also when we tried to order Sugarcane in kumquat… they said they didn’t have someone to make the juice even though we saw other tables with them. Then 10 min later after we got Thai tea they brought us Sugarcane juice with coconut instead! They also charged us for an extra sugarcane (as mentioned above)
The servers were rude to my dad. He would ask in Vietnamese if he could order and they would say “don’t confuse me! you’ll have to wait for your waitress!” even though no one came to us and told us they were our waitress… so we just sat and waited for another 10 min before someone came to get our order.
Don’t believe in TV...
Read moreWe found this restaurant by doing a Google search for "Best Hu Tieu restaurant" in the area. The portions and prices are fair. They have buy 2 get 1 free noodle bowls, and buy 1 get 1 free drink specials. We got the #2 Hu Tieu with egg noodles and the #2 Hu Tieu with rice noodles. Both were delicious! We will gladly drive the 90 miles from San Diego to eat here in the future. This is an excellent restaurant. They are not Cash Only, we paid with a VISA credit card. Update: We got the #1 Hu Tieu Dac Biet with lobster, one with egg noodles and the other with rice noodles Both were delicious. Update: We got our usual again, the #1 Hu Tieu Dac Biet with lobster, one with egg noodles and the other with rice noodles. Both...
Read moreGood value for the amount of food and for the quality! Fed tow of us with one bowl and side of pork bone. Broth was good, had the fragrance and taste of garlic and pork broth I’m accustomed to. Simple selection of rice or egg noodle, and the pork bone is good but not as tender as I would like. Typical mom & pops family restaurant setup, service seems better for Vietnamese patrons, but not horrible. I asked for combo noodle but waiter push to select either, had combo on our last visit. Still a safe bet for decent bowl of hu tieu when...
