| - Wow! I can't believe how wrong my meal was! I ordered the Chicken Banana Flower Salad for $8.75. While the dressing/lettuce/banana flower part of the salad was fine, what they served as "chicken" was absolutely ridiculous!
Have you ever made chicken broth from scratch? You boil a chicken until the meat is falling off the bone, let it cool, then pick through the pot....pulling out bones, cartilage and skin. Well THAT is what the "chicken" in my salad consisted of.....bones, cartilage and skin! I seriously could not believe it....there was NO chicken meat of ANY kind! Just the scraps that one would normally throw away.
I called the older gentleman that had waited on us over and showed him the bones and skin, to which he replied, "Oh, well next time tell us you want it without bones and skin."
Um, excuse me? Is this guy for real?
If you're going to serve nothing but bones, skin, and cartilage, then you should call it a chicken BONE or chicken SKIN banana blossom salad, so that people understand what you are actually intending on serving them!
I was cool when he said this at first, thinking that I may have just hit a bad patch in the salad, but with my very next bite it was exactly the same thing....a big, splintery chicken bone with absolutely ZERO meat on it, covered by a pile of lettuce, chicken skin, and banana blossoms.
To their credit, when I finally realized that enough was enough and sent it back, they were VERY accomodating and made me a different salad, right away.
I think it was a shrimp pork salad, and it was very tasty.
I also noticed several of the employees huddled around the chicken bone salad that I had sent back. They were speaking vietnamese? thai? to what I'm assuming was the cook and pointing at the bones and skin, so OBVIOUSLY this was not actually the way that this salad was supposed to be served. And I must admit that I think it's a good sign that they actually checked it out, and LOOKED at what was going on with the salad, instead of just writing me off as a pain-in-the-ass customer, because atleast it shows that they care about the food they are serving. And hell, anyone can make a mistake.
In fact, I'd probably have only given them one star, except for the fact that they actually seemed concerned.
My boyfriend ordered Pad See Ew. He said it was okay. Not the best he's ever had, but certainly edible.
I think if we ever try this place again, we'll just get the Vietnamese sandwiches or the Pho, as it appears from other reviewers that this is what they're best at.
