| - The Table Gave Off the, Smelliest, WORST Stench Ever!
My colleague and I showed up at that restaurant today at around 12:20pm. The waitress directed us to a table she just cleaned. We sat down and were overwhelmed by a penetrating STENCH which was the smell of a towel that had wiped down too many tables and not washed in a long time. My colleague and I actually put up with it for a whole minute before we finally could not take it anymore and said to each other "the stench here is really unbearable"! So we quickly got up to walk away from the stench. I told that waitress about it and I said "we are not imagining this or making this up. Please go smell it for yourself and tell us if we are lying or not." She went to smell it and said "but I really don't smell anything". Just then, a tall waitress with a ponytail and a light-blue top walked by us with plates of food and nonchalantly said, just loud enough so I could hear clearly, "if you don't like it here, you can leave." My colleague and I looked at each other, shocked, and just walked out. You can bet we will not only NEVER come back again, but will tell all our colleagues about this so they don't go there either. I was not yelling or being rude at all. To say that to a customer was rude and unacceptable. (Also, I am usually the one who can never smell anything when the rest of the world is complaining, so if I can smell it, it must have been a very, very bad smell.)
STINGY on the Noodles!
The last time I was there for pho, I remember that they gave me a BIG bowl filled with broth but there were hardly ANY noodles in the bowl. They think people cannot see it because of the brown broth so they can get away with it. I didn't want to go there in the first place but my colleague wanted to take me there to treat me in celebration of my one-year wedding anniversary today. We ended up going to Asian Bowl which was much cleaner, with much better food and, not to mention, better service.
This was the FIRST time in my life that I sat down at a table at a restaurant that gave off a stench. UNBELIEVABLE.
