| - No. Just no.
I met a friend here for lunch at noon in the middle of the week. I arrived first an asked for a table for two. They told me sit at table 7, that made no sense to me because table numbers are not posted on top of the tables, luckily they pointed to the table that was in front of the cash counter. I flip through the menu while waiting for my friend, a staff came by, dropped off a pot of tea with one cup and taking away the other menu. I'm pretty sure I told them I wanted a table for two people. A minute after that, she came to ask if I was ready to order, this was when I told her I was waiting for a friend. It wasn't busy at all, so I wasn't sure what the rush was about.
My friend arrives shortly after and we order some spring rolls with our perspective bowl of pho within 5 mins of her arrival. It didn't take long for the spring rolls to arrive and I must say I was shocked. Two of them came on a plate, and they were about a centimeter thick and half the size of the oblong plate, For $5, that was totally not worth it as it was pretty much just the crispy outer layer with no filling.
Then my extra large noodles came, broth and noodles were fine, portion felt more like a large and the beef balls were the size of dimes. What is this? Beef balls for ants? It should be at least... 2x the size. /zoolander reference. Seriously, they were some of the small beef balls I have ever seen.
Eventually, it got more busy, with a queue out the door by 1pm, and we were feeling like we were being rushed to leave. I got the sense when they came to the table and took away our tea while I was still having noodles. Thanks for that. I would definitely not queue up for this place, probably wouldn't even come back.
