| - If you enjoy overpriced, mediocre Vietnamese food, all while the owners are secretly insulting you from 10 feet away, this place is for you!
First the food, which I give 3 stars: We got the pork spring rolls, which were okay but could have used more flavor. I got the vegetarian pho, which was decent, and my girlfriend got the combination pho. Her dish was pretty flavorless, and the meat didn't seem very fresh.
And now for the owners, which I give 0 stars. To our face they were extremely kind and welcoming. Had I been there on my own I would have walked out with a great vibe. But, my girlfriend happens to be fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, and apparently the owners were too dumb to realize that an Asian customer might be able to speak their language. They were standing behind the bar, 5 feet away from us, and spent most of their time talking about the customers. They made multiple rude comments about the interracial couples in the restaurant, including some about the family sitting next to us. I won't go into other details, but let's just say I was pretty angry after hearing them.
(EDIT: While there I clearly heard a guy behind the bar telling another customer that he was from Shanghai, so I find it hard to believe that nobody there speaks Mandarin.)
There are better Vietnamese restaurants in Scottsdale...do yourself a favor and avoid these guys.
