Reviews
Edit: we came back on 6/17 again and both ordered pho! The portion sizes were great. We got two appetizers and two entrees for $49 which I thought was very reasonable for the quality of food. The staff are very sweet and accommodating. Added a photo for reference.
The pho is OK, but they don’t serve it with Thai basil or culantro, at least not the two times I went. One time I asked for extra veggies on the side and they brought me only a large plate of blanched bean sprouts. Communication is a real problem. They don’t seem to understand English very well. They will likely mess up your order if you don’t point to exactly what you want on the menu. Don’t bother asking for anything extra or special.
The general tso’s chicken was tough, like they used dark meat that was old and dry. The sauce was not anything like what I expected either. It didn’t have the right balance of sweet and savory and it used different ingredients. I honestly don’t know what it was made of. It wasn’t something I’d come back for.
I used to look forward to coming here 2 years ago. It was always one of the top 2 or 3 places first on my mind when coming to Warner Robins to do my shopping. Now I don’t even think of them. In full disclosure the last time I ate here was about 4 months ago. I hope they have stepped up their game since then, but restaurants don’t usually change that dramatically.
The owner is a sweet grandpa on top of that.
The price doesn’t match the quality or portion.
Although the chef is Vietnamese, his skills come across as rather amateur, which is disappointing to admit.
I also happened to know during my visit that the restaurant sources most of their ingredients from City Farmer Market – an Asian grocery chain known for its budget-level produce and poor sanitation. This calls into question the pricing even more, as the ingredients are far from premium.
—————
The Pho broth had an unpleasant odor, likely due to poor technique in handling the beef. It wasn’t a rich, meaty aroma, but rather the off-putting scent associated with stress hormones from industrial slaughter. Even using fresh meat won’t fix that without proper culinary skill. On top of that, the broth was cloudy, probably from being reheated or cooked at excessively high temperatures. Also, no culantro was served – a key herb and the essential soul of a proper bowl of pho. Neither the chef nor the staff (who appear to be family members) were even familiar with this herb.
The fried rice had good texture, each grain was well-separated yet moist. But the use of margarine for fragrance overwhelmed the natural flavors of the seafood and meats. The seafood used was low in quality, especially considering the price point. Seafood fried rice consisted of fish balls and imitation crab sticks, which felt like corner-cutting.
The goi (Vietnamese salads) were decent, and the fish sauce dressing was fine, though nothing stood out. Again, the price felt too high for what you actually get.
The BBQ short ribs with rice were marinated well, but the portion was small and the meat sliced thin – noticeably less than what you’d get at T Break. It also lacked the usual pickled carrots and daikon typically served on the side. Overall, not worth the high price.
The Banh mi was disappointing. The baguette was overly hard and crumbled with each bite. It came with no fresh herbs or vegetables – just bread and filling. Once again, not worth the price.
In summary: I’d also strongly suggest the restaurant reconsider its pricing, especially given the quality of ingredients used.
The restaurant itself needs attention. The soy sauce bottles on the tables were dirty and some appeared rusted, and overall cleanliness was lacking. While the pho itself tasted good, the overall quality of service and cleanliness took away from the experience. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to make us want to return.
