| - Soooo disappointed by today's lunch from Sprout! I used to come here often when I lived in the neighborhood, and now that I work up here, i was happy to visit Sprout. My all time fave was the rare beef pho, which I ordered today for take-out. Upon my return to my desk I was very disappointed.
Why? Well, they used to give you separate containers for the broth, and for the rare beef, and basil leaves separate again. Today? Nope. Just one big giant container. Hmm.. I think. The rare beef won't be so rare but that's ok. Little did I realize... Wha??? Where's the rare beef? why is there... TURKEY?? in my rare beef pho??? It might be chicken, but it looks and tastes a LOT more like turkey.
One of the worst things about take-out is when you get back to your desk, all unpacked, and you realize what you got is something other than what you ordered. I don't even think turkey is on their menu? It's Pho, for Christsakes, have you heard of turkey pho??
to give them credit, there is some (a small amount) of non-rare beef, but they completely F-ed up my order and I am irritated. Turkey pho?
The broth is still good, but this is the weirdest lunch I've had in a while.
Not cheap either. Almost $9 when near my house I share phos with 2-3 people for less.
Oh well. Chalk one up to high expectations, low delivery. Here I sit at my desk eating turkey mixed with small amounts of well-done beef pho. I guess Thanksgiving was pretty recent.
