| - Run, don't walk, for the exit. Just don't stop in the disgusting bathroom with the built up grunge on your way out. You will find out why at the end of this review. The only thing worse than the food is the service. I received my lukewarm, small, greasy, not at all crispy "crispy eggroll" appetizer at the same time I received my pho. I received them quickly, after waiting so long to be waited on, was glad to get my food. I am not being unreasonable- the egg rolls were listed as an appetizer, and NOT as a side dish. . The hostess brought the hot tea, and was apparently too busy gabbing it ya and visiting tables of people she knew to bring it to me before my meal started. I didn't even want any more, as I ordered it to warm up on a chilly day- and I already had my pho. The pho broth was watery, no beef taste at all, minimal spice taste, and not hot enough- I believe it should be piping, the reason for this, the sprouts and peppers and herbs on the side that you can add. It cooled down even more after I had added seasonings- more than I normally do- to make it palatable. I saw nary a piece of cilantro. There was a few tiny slices of spring onion floating, and I did not taste any onion, garlic, or other allium in the broth. Once I had added my bean sprouts to my broth, I discovered that they had been sitting in a huge pool of water. Ewwww. There were not many slices of jalapenos, hardly a high price item, I would have asked for more, plus another slice of lime if I were able to track down a server. And more water! She just dropped the bill and took off, I would have liked her to at least inquire if I wanted my food wrapped, more water, or a dessert. The server did not return until I had finished my meal, to check on my food or refill my water (Vietnamese food is salty, part of why I like it). I could go on. At the end of my meal (this is what ended my meal). I watched a female employee cough into a rag, then continue drying utensils WITH THAT RAG and putting the utensils into a separate container. No worries, I'm calling the Health Department- this appears to be a TRAINING opportunity.
