Reviews
Dinner time on a Sunday gets quite busy around 5:30-6pm so staff was unattentive most of the times given all the patrons at once, even to just place an order. I would definitely give the place another try next time!
PS: If you look at the restaurant from certain side of the parking lot, it looked like the place is closed because it looked dim. They have a side corridor to enter the restaurant but rest assured it is open during their hours of operation.
Unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet our expectations. The portion-to-value ratio felt off—paying $19 for a large pho, we expected more than one meatball, which was disappointingly cut into four pieces. The broth itself was cloudy and oilier than what we’re used to, with a slightly funky odor, as if the meat wasn’t fresh. We had to throw it out.
The calamari batter was overly thick, masking the seafood flavor. While the chicken wings had decent flavor, their texture suggested they might have been boiled before being sauced, which wasn’t appealing. The quail was the most disappointing dish—over-fried and stale, with a jerky-like texture. The shrimp fried rice was dry, basic, and lacked sufficient shrimp. There was a total of 2 shrimps, cut into 3 pieces each – not worth $21.
Our bill came to nearly $200, and frankly, we’ve had much better quality for far less at other restaurants in Barrhaven. This isn’t meant to be rude—just an honest reflection of our experience.
1. Portions have shrunk to an insulting degree.
I ordered a middle-size egg noodle and stir-fry noodle — for over $20 — and what I got looked like a kid’s meal. A five-year-old might leave hungry. I asked the manager if there was a mistake, and he casually told me, “That’s normal.” No apology, no explanation. Just a shrug. Inflation is one thing, but this felt like a ripoff.
2. Dirty table — twice.
We were seated at a table that had visible food and soup stains. Not subtle — clearly not cleaned. They came by to wipe it down twice and somehow it was still dirty. In the end, we had to clean it ourselves just to feel okay about eating there. That’s just not acceptable.
3. Dirty dishes.
Two of our five dishes came out with leftover food on them. Not “a smudge,” actual residue. We pointed it out and the server swapped them out without a word — no apology, and the replacements still weren’t fully clean. It was honestly stomach-turning.
We left feeling completely let down. It’s hard to watch a place you used to love fall apart like this — overpriced tiny portions, poor hygiene, and a complete lack of care. This visit ruined it for us.
We’re done.
