The super-shiny decor and barely legal servers should have alerted me that there's "TROUBLE AHEAD!" but I was fooled by the packed tables and the rumble in my tummy. The S.O. and I ordered spring rolls, pho tai for him, and bun with grilled shrimp and meatballs for me.
The S.O. got his pho right away then the sullen teen server brought out the spring rolls WITH my bun then disappeared. Okay, no bigs, we'll just eat our starter together with our mains. But it was obvious that everything had been pre-cooked then heated back up. Seriously, how fricking lazy are you that you can't be bothered to stick 4 spring rolls into a deep fat fryer or throw a shrimp on the barbie? If I wanted bad microwaved food I would've saved myself the trip and had Lean Cuisine at home.
The pho was meh and not worth the price of admission. To add insult to injury the nuoc cham dipping sauce was so sweet I felt a toothache coming on AND the pot of tea was tepid.
Don't expect to find your server when you need him because he's disappeared and probably gone to cut himself.
