| - Never judge a book by its cover.
I remember the first time I drove past this place. I saw that big fancy red neon sign and the words "grand opening" and I just knew that I had to try this place. It just looked like it was going to be delicious.
So I finally took the chance and went one day during my lunch. I walked inside and I thought to myself, it looks clean, it looks nice, I don't think I will be disappointed.
I ordered the oxtail Pho and pork skin eggrolls.The broth on the oxtail Pho was actually decent. It smelled good, tasted good and had a good balance of flavors. The oxtail left much to be desired. It was tough and hard to bite and left many many strands of meat in my teeth. As soon as I went back to work I was begging for a toothpick and/or dental floss.
The pork skin spring roll wasn't bad, just a bit dry. Thank goodness for dipping sauces.
When I went to check out I walked up to the counter and the lady told me my total. I asked for a receipt when she told me my total and saw that they were trying to double charge me for my spring rolls. Do I think they were intentionally trying to overcharge me? Of course. Did they remove the double charge once I pointed it out, of course.
So it wasn't a BAD first time experience nor was it a GREAT first time experience. So the next time me and my hunny decided we were going to go out for Pho, I told him about this place and off we went.
This time I ordered the special combo Pho and as did he. We also ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls.
Never in my life did I feel like such a dumb ass. (Okay, sure I have felt like a dumb ass previously in my life, but you get my point.) I had told him I was pretty impressed with their Pho and both of our bowls were completely bland and flavorless. The noodles were too soft, the meat too tough and if you know me I am very particular when it comes to Pho. If it has a hint of that silver tinge of color on the meat, it just ruins my appetite. Neither of us finished our bowls of Pho and we seriously contemplated about going to our favorite spot but didn't want to feel like complete F.A's and just called it a night.
Do not let me forget that when we both bit into the pork and shrimp spring roll, we immediately spit it out. The flavor was off and the meat tasted old. Nasty!!
If you like flavorless broth, then this is the place for you. If you know what good Pho is then I highly suggest staying away from this place.
I thought it would be a good place based soley on looks. Lesson learned.
