| - If I could give negative stars, I think I actually would in this case. Our experience was THAT bad. I was in Las Vegas with my husband and family and we were craving some pho. We happened upon this place and we thought how bad could it be? People can't really mess up pho THAT bad. Boy, were we wrong.
It was bad right from the start, the restaurant smelled funny, like a family of wet dogs decided to take up shelter there. The service was horrible and when the waitress finally came by to take our order, she was extremely pushy, basically forcing us to order an appetizer even though we didn't really want to. We ended up getting the sticky rice with roasted chicken, which was okay, but we had felt extremely pressured to order it. The waitress then had the gall to come back and tell us that we should order another appetizer and proceeded to almost place the order for us, until we had to almost scream no, and say that we just want our entrees.
I ordered the vermicelli noodles with roasted pork and an egg roll. This is a staple dish for me at Vietnamese restaurants, and I have never been so sorely disappointed. First, it took FOREVER for the them to bring us our entrees (and it's not like they were busy, there were about three tables that night), and when they did I almost wished they hadn't. The noodles were hard. The pork was tough, poorly seasoned and looked like the leftovers from someone else's meal. The egg roll was the only halfway decent thing in the bowl, and it was tiny. I could barely finish 1/4 of the bowl, and it wasn't because I was full.
It wasn't even cheap. I know other reviews have said this place is a cheap eat. That was not my experience. My vermicelli noodles were $8, and it is usually $5-$6 at other restaurants. I wouldn't mind paying a couple bucks more if it were good. Or even halfway decent. But it was absolutely appalling.
We finally left the place disappointed, disgusted and hungry. I hope I can save the rest of you from this place. Run away immediately.
