| - I'm not a vegetarian, but who can honestly resist any manner of hash slung by a CULT? A cult right around the corner!!! You dont even have to travel to California. I came in with a good attitude, ready to acknowledge ( if not worship outright) all appropriate deities - but left a bewildered non believer.
We endured baffling service, and it pains me to say it, because there was not a hint of rudeness. Just communication obstacles that I suspect involved more than language. To make a long story short, we had no idea what we ordered, despite numerous attempts to probe our waitress for such rudimentary information. It was comic, really, until the food arrived.
My mother's Vietnamese entree was more a Greek tragedy of inedibly chewy mock chicken (she had asked several times for something easy to chew). Mine was better, but I've forgotten what it was. The Seventh Heaven Salad was ok (more like third or fourth heaven) and we both liked the cup of complimentary chicken soup. That was a nice touch, and something we could all understand.
It took several minutes to communicate that we wanted a knife. I ordered Thai iced tea, which unbeknownst to me was 'code' for ice water. It's hard to get too mad though. Despite the confusion, it's about the cheapest sit down restaurant around. People seemed nice, in an interplanetary way. We had what amounted to a disappointing pot luck, and the service was extraordinarily weird.
Bon appetit !!
