Standard pho that was skimpy on the noodles (most inexpensive item in the bowl). Really? Anyhow the broth was pretty average. I always taste it before adding anything. One thing they have going for them is that it came out relatively hot but not piping hot. It cooled down quite a bit when adding the veggies.
I also tried the pork skin spring rolls. They were pretty good and nicely wrapped. I hate it when some places have inexperienced people making their rolls that litterally fall apart when eating it.
The price is on the high side for Vietnamese food that is just average given that I have only tried 2 items on the menu.
What really annoyed me was hearing the owners bitch in Vietnamese about a group of 14 that sat on 3 seperate tables to another group dining there that must be regulars and only tipped 7.50 for a $87 bill for one table. Each table paid seperately and were out of towners. The other people said that maybe the other 2 tables though the table that tipped did it for all of them. The owner just snubbed and said they did not mix it up when they clearly paid seperately.
I never speak Vietnamese when I go to any Vietnamese place and can get away with it since I clearly look Chinese which I am. It's amazing how rude and how much shit talking Vietnamese do when they don't think people can understand them. The group of 14 were Vietnamese also. So why did they expect anything more? I was born in Vietnam and have been around the culture enough to know that Vietnamese generally are shitty tippers. They usually are frugal people and I am not sure why the owners would think any different being in the industry for as long as they have.
