Oh Sammy pho, where did you go!?!?
This place was one of most favorite and frequented spots to dine...
Once upon a time that is.
I visited about a month ago and the food seemed to have changed a bit(for the worse) but I thought, hmmm, maybe just a different cook today...?
And the service was lacking as well. I thought, well maybe it's just a bad day for them.
So then I return on Monday and BOOM! The decision maker that made me decide for sure that I will NOT be returning! The chicken wings were not only dry but have shrunken! Really?!?! They looked like pigeon wings. The rice was not fresh, it was reheated. Blah. The shrimp spring rolls were awful! The sauce changed, they use shredded iceberg lettuce and the shrimp was old and mushy. The PHO!!!!! OMG, I've never had bad pho until this very visit. They have gotten very chincey with their noodles and meats. I remember eating and having so much meat in my pho that I'd give it to whomever I'm dining with. Well, not the case anymore. I had 4 little tiny pieces of rare steak which tasted old! The BROTH was flavorless! It tasted like hot water and salt!!!! Yuck yuck yuck!!!!!!! And the "fresh" bean sprouts were old, brown and disgusting. Never ever coming back!!!!!!! I guess it's worth the drive to Chinatown....ugh! Or maybe I will give JennyPho another try.....
