| - This is actually a review from my boyfriend who has only a few asks when it comes to pho:
1. Decent qualify beef and;
2. Broth that is broth, not just salty water.
He went out to eat here with a friend and was immediately unimpressed with the interior decor. While it's a beautiful restaurant, he has the theory that the more the chef can't cook a decent pho, the more the restaurant compensates with the interior design.
Totally true. The bowl of pho he had had meat that was riddled with fat, so much so that he felt the need to stick his fingers into his bowl, fish out the meat, and discard half of it.
The noodles were obviously cooked and left int he bowl way before any broth was added, and had congealed into a solid, carby lump.
He even swears the garnishings were stingy.
This is coming from a guy who's not a picky eater.
He did complain to the staff about his meal, and then when asked to pay for the full price of his pho with more than half of it hardly even touched, he asked to see the manager. He suggested ways to FIX the soup, because if this is what they're serving to others, they're obviously going to run out of business.
I agree when I would expect even a slight discount, or a re-make of the dish if it was so obviously bad, but the manager refused to even listen to the complaints.
My boyfriend now refuses to come to this place, as do all his friends who live in the area.
