We didn’t try the rice or egg rolls, but the table next to us did and they gave good compliments on it.
The server Jacob was fantastic. Food was good, pricing was fair and service was great. There were only three tables being served so hopefully try it out. We will be going back. I’m not saying it’s my favorite pho place in Bakersfield or the best… But we enjoyed our pho
As a pho enthusiast, I was thrilled to experience a new Vietnamese restaurant in town, eager to indulge in a steaming bowl of flavorful and authentic pho. However, my culinary adventure turned out to be a major disappointment, leaving me with an unpleasant taste and a longing for a truly genuine pho experience.
First and foremost, the lack of authenticity was evident from the moment I read the menu. The amount of grammatical errors, incorrect dish names on the menu set off my alarm bells. Unfortunately, the horror didn’t stop there. The moment the bowls came, I was shocked to see the murky unappetizing broth.
As soon as I took the first sip of the pho broth, my taste buds were assaulted by an overwhelming chemical aftertaste reminiscent of soapy water. It was an inexplicable and offensive flavor that was truly unpleasant. A good pho broth should be clear, rich, savory, and bring together harmonious flavors, but this one left me feeling like I was consuming a dishwashing liquid instead. We literally had to wipe off the broth from the meat to continue eating.
Instead of layers of robust flavors derived from simmering bones, aromatic spices, and fresh herbs, this broth was devoid of any real character. It was apparent that shortcuts were taken in its preparation, resulting in a sad imitation of the real deal. Yet, I’ve had instant pho eons better than this.
The noodles, supposed to be soft and silky, were overcooked and mushy. Additionally, the fresh greens were replaced with pickled dishes and a sad bunch of limping cilantro. Could you really have a pho dish without bean sprouts?
Our other dishes included the grilled beef and cornish hen. Both terrible but still edible. The skewed beef had no smokey smell and lacked any seasoning. Yet there was a weird plasticy aftertaste. To make matters worse, the dipping sauce was definitely not made in-house and tasted so artificial.
The cornish hen, while crispy, also was dry and flavorless. It’s one of the few times we could not finish our food.
As a connoisseur of Asian cuisine, I was left saddened by this pho restaurant’s lack of respect for the essence and authenticity of these basic dishes. It is clear that they have failed to capture the soul and magic that make pho such a cherished culinary delight. I hope the chefs try and learn authentic Vietnamese cuisines before grand opening
The meat inside the egg roll was also very salty. The spring roll was boring. I do not know if shrimp is their only meat choice for the spring rolls but it was bland without the peanut sauce, which I think the sauce was generic. My favorite item I received from my visit there was the Thai Tea.
Pho. I left the whole bowl untouched, such a waste of money! Also, the other dishes weren’t good either, but they were at least edible… Lastly, the menu was full of typo (we should have left the moment we looked at the menu tbh). Please don’t eat here and think this is how Vietnamese food taste like 🙁
This one is a miss from me. Pretty bad pho.
