| - As a disclaimer, I want to say that I really wanted to like this because of the positive reviews on Yelp. The average rating here is 4.5 stars out of 5, but my experience here was meh. I came here with a friend on a day after going to Riverdale Park and convinced her to try the food in the area. Originally we were going to another place but they took cash only and we only had credit and debit which this place accepted. We entered and got to sit anywhere we liked as we were the first and only customers at the time we came in. We got our menus and ordered.
Price: Good. My friend and I ended up ordering a large pho to share which was only $6.25 which is a great price if you are on a budget.
Taste/quality: The food we ordered... It tasted alright, the broth tasted a little bland compared to pho soups I've tried before but better after I added some sauce.
Service: Slow. Afterwards, we wanted to order some drinks as takeout but the wait for those took so long, much longer than necessary. I used to make drinks as a barista, so I know how long making a smoothie should take. The restaurant wasn't even busy, either, so the long wait time didn't make sense to me and I considered just leaving without the drink and paying for the meal, but I decided to wait it out. Anyways, when the drinks finally came, it DID taste good but the wait was not reasonable considering we were the only ones in the restaurant who had an order going (everyone else had food on their tables and we were in the restaurant at a non-mealtime hour) and it took almost 20 minutes to get a smoothie to go.
Tip: Perhaps hire more staff?
