| - Since this place was Pho Sur until just a few months ago, I thought I'd give it a try. Basically, nothing has changed here. The atmosphere, décor, layout of dining room, etc. is darn near identical. I didn't expect the menu to be the same way, but it was. Expecting more of a change, I guess. However, there were tiny changes on the menu to give it a little more variety, but barely enough to notice.
I chose to go all out and order their top specialty item; the "Singapore Noodles"... A yellow curry powder mixed in with the stir-fry oil/sauce. Basic thin noodles, a few large chunks of prawn, a little barbecued pork, some peppers and onions. I wasn't disappointed, but it wasn't anything real spectacular either. The Thai Iced Tea tastes like every other Thai Iced Tea I've ever consumed, which is great and all. I put Sriacha sauce on the noodles to get them a little more flavor and kicked up in spice.
Again, expectations were slightly higher than usual, because I thought a different place (in terms of perhaps menu, ingredients, ownership, etc.) might be an improvement. But, I digress. It was just a plain, ordinary, so-so restaurant. My server was minimally attentive and wanted to play on his smartphone rather than work. The electronica/techno/teenie-bopper music hasn't changed either.
Overall, I'm not necessarily saying this is a bad place. The food is decent, but it's nothing "special" to me personally. If I come back to this establishment, it will likely be because someone else suggests it (i.e. I'm tagging along).
