| - I caught a cold yesterday and asked my boyfriend if we could grab some Pho. I generally like to go to Pho 88 in Bamburgh- but my boyfriend's family loves this place. Ive been here twice before and always left with a "meh"...
Tonight was no different.
Service:
The original table that they sat us at was very squished in between two other deuces. Since the rest of the tables in the restaurant weren't taken up, I suggested we moved, but they said we could only sit at the deuce directly in front of the door. Why didn't they just let us sit at the four-top? meh.. whatever.
So we were ready to order, and it literally took the girl 5 minutes to write down EACH of our orders. How hard is it to understand, "Small, #101, Rare Beef"? Maybe she didn't know English. meh.. whatever.
It was funny that the next three tables that walked in were served by a different server- to which she seemed to know EXACTLY what she was talking about when people placed their orders. Maybe they realized how stupid our server was.
Food:
Compared to other Pho places, the small is more of an xxs. I finished the entire bowl (which I usually have trouble with), un-satisfied. Doesn't Pho automatically come with the side of been sprouts and lime? I had to ask for mine. It was weird that she asked if i wanted them to be cooked or raw. Plus, after specifically asking for a lime, I was given a lemon. meh.. whatever. My boyfriend on the other hand ordered a Chicken Pad-Thai and it was pretty good.
Overall, you guessed it!
"meh...whatever"
