| - I had their small bowl of super noodle soup (it has all rare cooked meat in it and oxtail), a shrimp salad (summer) roll, and a bubble tea. Everything was pretty much terrible. I would give it no stars, but the extra star is for the nice customer service. The noodle soup was way too salty and lacked in flavor. It could've used more mint or basil leaves. Usually the broth would make or break the dish. This time it broke it! Towards the bottom of my bowl my noodles were kind of congealed all together and I had to use my chopstick to break them up. The summer roll had a bit of old iceberg lettuce and bean sprouts rolled up into it. I could've dealt with that if the peanut sauce that came with it wasn't so bad. The sauce tasted like day old hoisin sauce with sprinkles of peanuts on top. I mean, the sauce was kind of sour...like rotten sour, and it was masked with more salt! I'm going to have to take a diuretic pill just to cleanse my body of all the salt I just ate. And I love salt! I cover my fries in it, I love my Chinese food with MSG! So when a salt lover tells you, it's salty, then damn! It's going to be salty. Lastly, the bubble tea was watered down and the bubbles were too mushy. I think a lot of the stuff they're serving has been sitting out, which, when you think about it, is so gross.
Vietnamese noodle dishes aren't hard to make. It's literally hot water, beef broth, choice of meat, rice noodles, and basil and mint. I wish this place could just get it right. The worse part is, it's Vietnamese owned. You would think they would know better.
I should've went back to Made in China :)
