| - I've only been here once before when they first opened and since they were still fairly new, I thought that maybe they were still trying to figure things out. That time, my friends and I all ordered pho and it was very oily and tasteless. I actually don't normally order pho when I go eat at Vietnamese restaurants since nothing beats my mother's but I do know a good bowl of pho when I eat one. For a place that translates to "delicious pho", their pho is the worst I've had.
I've told my parents about this place and that they may want to avoid it but since they knew I didn't care much for pho, they didn't believe me, and we ended up here for dinner last night. My parents have never gotten the chance to go before and they wanted to try it out because after all, how could a place called "delicious Pho" not have delicious pho? Even though it was a Sunday night, the place only had a couple of customers. We all got just water and a taro bubble tea for my little brother. It took about 5 minutes for us to receive our waters which seemed a little strange. My father and little brother each ordered pho and my mother and I each ordered bun dac biet (a combination vermicelli bowl.) The pho looked good when it came out but the flavor ended up being just as bad as I remembered it. The noodles in my brother's bowl were hard and all clumped together. The bun dac biet is my most favorite thing to get and it looked very promising when it came out. The bowl was full of meat and veggies so I was super excited to eat it. The noodles were really soft and slippery and it was actually hard to pick up with chopsticks since it kept slipping right through. The meat, however, was full of flavor and the veggies tasted fresh so it was disappointing when the fish sauce it came with ended up being very plain? It seemed watered down and even after I poured two of the little cups of fish sauce into my bowl, my food still tasted the same as it did without the sauce. My mother also asked for a side of clear soup and that soup ended up being way saltier than my fish sauce. Like how is that possible?? So remember how I said we also got a bubble tea? There was still no sign of that and we were almost done with our food. We reminded the waitress twice and the first time, she ran off (yes, she actually ran) to go get it.. At least that's what we assumed. When we didn't hear a blender after a while, we asked her about it again. She said they forgot about it(?) and rushed off again. Don't worry, they remembered this time. We all finished our food because we were starving but in the car, my parents said its been a very long time since they've had such bad Vietnamese food and won't be back.
I'd give this place a zero star rating for the food if I could and the only reason they're getting two is because 1) the bubble tea was very good and refreshing and 2) Even though we had to remind our waitress about the bubble tea, the service itself was good. They were polite and fast. A little too fast. We felt bad because the waitresses were actually zooming around the place. (Don't get me wrong, we were impressed with their commitment but worried that they were stressed out.)
