Reviews
I was the only one in the restaurant so that should’ve told me something
I really liked the food here. We had Pad Thai, House Special Pho and Spicy Beef Lemongrass. The serving sizes were large and the quality was good. You can pick your spice level of each dish.
The problem we had was a complete lack of communication. We ordered a beer, a tea and a glass of wine. The beer was delivered right away followed by the entrées. We reminded the server that we still needed 2 drinks and she got the tea. After asking about the wine 3 more times we were told that the owner was coming from home to pour the wine! When you look at the menu you will see a full bar list but they had no one to pour a glass. If we had been told that when ordering we would have ordered something else. By the time the owner arrived we had finished our food and just wanted to leave. No apologies or restitution were offered. There are too many other places to eat to suffer through this. Read the other reviews.
The good: the place was spacious, bright, clean and lots of seating. Service was average. The lady was nice. The spicy noodles soup was flavorful. The beef on the rice combo dish was full of flavor. Good marinate. The salt and pepper shrimp was also good . They actually gave you 10 good size shrimps.
Bad: it’s a bit on the pricey side. Wished the shrimp apps were a bit crunchier. We did find a hair in the noodle. Lost my appetite. It was hard to find the host/waiter. She was in the back somewhere. She did come around after ringing the bell 3 times.
Probably not going there again.
– I came with my friends to try their new menu. I think their previous menu is still being served, so you can ask their servers about the menu you want to order. I’m not sure why they have two different menus with two names for one restaurant. This made their customers so confused and uncomfortable.
– The restaurant was not crowded at the time we came, but the waitresses seemed too busy to take good care of their customers. When they served the hot pot, they forgot to give us the ladle, but we didn’t know who to ask because there were no servers around. One of my friends went to the counter to ask for the ladle and took it. When asked for the new small bowl and to-go bags, we did the same thing. The waitresses just approached our table to ask about the food’s taste and if we would like to order more. The waitresses are nice, but that’s not enough. Their service should be better.
– We ordered 1 Coconut Swirl Escargot (Cerithidea Obtusa), 1 Flower Escargot Stir-fried w/ Salted Egg (Babylonia areolata), 1 Grilled Scallions (Elongate Cockle), 1 Small Scallop Grilled Scallions, 1 Sturgeon Hot Pot, 1 Thai’s Salad w/ Octopus for 3 of us. The price was about $150 (with tax and fees). I did not think the prices were worth it. The food should be better. There will be a 20% service charge added for parties of 4 or more. The fee will be 3.62% for paying by credit card.
– If the food is more special, more tasteful, and the service is good, I won’t mind the higher prices and additional service fees or tips. I will come back if they improve their food quality and service.
I added a photo to show that now they’re more geared towards being a seafood restaurant. They also have hot pot available, but we opted to order Pho Dac Biet $16.99 (with extra noodles $2.99) and their #66, spicy lemongrass for the squid $15.99.
I also could only take a photo of the first page of the new menu since i didn’t have time and their menu is quite large.
The servers were quite nice and attentive. There was only 4 other customers besides us on a Saturday night so they weren’t TOO busy around 6:30 pm.
Overall, the food was great and would love to come back again to try their hot pot. Just know it is a little pricey than other vietnamese pho restaurants.
Con: Communication level was a 1, couldn’t tell me where the pad Thai was on the menus, not greeted, conversation between 3 of them pror to me ordering- I had to interrupt to get an order in.
I got extra spicy and that was a rating of 10 out of 10, noodles were hard to chew. Chicken came in large chunks but was a bit over cooked and bland as heck. See photo for onions left over. I would come back in a pinch. A bit pricy. Kind of weird to have a padlock on the front door.
