| - This was the only pho place within walking distance from our hotel, so we thought we'd give it a try. That's a decision we now regret. Being on the strip, we expected the high prices. But charging $15 for a bowl of pho, when it usually runs about $7 or $8, I expected the food to at least be average in taste.
I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (Combination Pho). When it came out, the bowl itself was very hot. The actual broth was not, it was lukewarm. A big disappointment. As far as the taste, the broth was very bland and I had to add a lot of condiments to get through eating.
The boyfriend ordered the Marinated Chicken with Fried Rice. A totally misleading and inaccurate name and description. I don't know what the chicken was marinated in, but we could not taste it. Like the pho, it was very bland. On top of that, the chicken was so dry it almost tasted like it was left out for a day or two. There was not one ounce of moisture left. We had to dunk it in sauce to try and re-hydrate it. What they called "fried rice" was anything but that. The rice brought out was orange and had no peas, carrots, or anything fried rice should have.
For a total bill of $35, we were better off eating at McDonalds. At least there, the price matches the quality of food.
