I decided to give Bamboo Legend the benefit of the doubt and give them another try to see if they would surpass my last experience dining with them and hope that my next updated review would be more on the positive side. Sadly, as you will read, it did not.
We ordered 1 pho with well done rare beef and beef ball & 1 grilled chicken over vermicelli with spring rolls. I wondered why the extra complimentary sides (either choice of ginger salad or Tom Yum Soup which come with meals off the lunch menu) were even bothered being offered.
TOM YUM SOUP & GINGER SALAD:
The Tom Yum Soup, was disappointing to say the least. It came in a teeny-tiny bowl and felt very watered down without having any broth or real substance to it. The tofu in the soup was cut smaller than bite-size pieces and there were hardly any pieces in it. The ginger salad contained about 1-2 iceberg lettuce leaves which graced a small blue trimmed plate, with 1 cucumber slice, 1 tomato slice and 1/4 of a cut carrot slice...
WELL-DONE RARE BEEF with BEEF BALL PHO:
There was some sort of strange smell and weird after taste to it. It just didn't taste fresh. The bowl was rather full with noodles than broth or anything else.
THE SERVICE:
Nothing has changed since my last visit here and this happened yet again. Just when we had come in before another customer, the other customer got served before us (it made me wonder if I had something on my face). I mean there has to be some sequence to serving customers, right?
After yet another disappointing service experience and low food quality, I'm pretty sure I won't be back.
