Pho Trend really needs to work on their identity. The menu has this mixture of Vietnamese and Cantonese food.
Pho Trend might be like a lot of restaurants nowadays is they want to have this huge menu that offers everything but nothing is good enough or outstanding enough to worth people to come for repeat visit.
We ordered:
Special Pho Large ($6.99)
- Portion is really good for the price
- Soup though is not hot enough
- The soup based lacked the complex taste of herbs, really one dimensional
Vietnamese Style Laksa Noodle Soup Small ($6.49)
- Really light curry broth, similar to Singapore laksa but lack the coconut milk and the intense flavour
- It supposed to be a house special, chef recommendation but it really not executed well
- broth lacks flavours, noodles overcooked
Spring Rolls ($3.99)
- Too much taro in the filling and taste just too mushy...
- Chinese egg roll paper used instead
Almond Paste Soup (complimentary dessert) was a nice touch, but instant almond paste that I can make at home and way too gluey....
Pho Trend is relatively new and hopefully it will improve over time. Nice decoration, friendly services but the food is just disappointing.
