| - After frequenting this spot a few more times, we walked out a tad disapppinted. Our first experience was great! I loved the tone the owner wanted to set. However after the few visits I think his talking could ruin it for them. The first time he really talked a big game. But a game to be hopeful for and that we were rooting for!
He and his wife had gone around trying out different Vietnamese restaurants so what they set out to do was to make their Bo kho more hearty than watery. The first time was perfect. Flavorful, not as watery as other spots, tendons, and meat you got it. This is why we craved to go back.
We went back with disappointment as they had run out of Bo Kho. And that's completely fine, no problem. So we opted for their pho. I've said this before that I don't prefer to eat pho; but, it doesn't mean I don't like it nor have I not had my share in ensuring at every Vietnamese restaurant I go to is to try their pho. With that said, their pho here is all right. Was it an off night? Not sure. I'd rather make the drive.
We came another time and they did have Bo Kho. Husband and I had the yay in our eyes! When the hubs was served his stew he fished around and was seriously disappointed yall. Like for real disappointed. I was staring at him uncomfortably because usually my husband will just go to town. He was disappointed about having no tendons in his stew. Nothing but small pieces of meat swimming around in what was actually a watery broth and not the flavor we were introduced to the first time.
The owner asked how's everything...my husband inquires about the tendons. You could tell the owner kinda got off his track about it...long story short...he says he has been noticing customers have been leaving the tendons so rather than patrons wasting tendons, they just omit it. Ummm...I can get that concept, but bo kho is a stew that has collagen type cuts of meat. People will pick foods out of dishes all the time but doesn't mean you alter it because of these people. You just have to take that hit as long as you stick true to the dish to keep it authentic. There are people who LOVE the tendons.
The tone he set for us on the 1st night was no longer the same tone after the next couple visits. Who wouldn't feel bummed.
While there are a few things I could pick on, I don't feel like it's necessary to. I still think they're a good option if you don't want to make the drive. Unfortunately, for us...we will continue to make our drive as it is much more worthed to considering the prices here are a tad higher than the spot we go to. But that's just us, folks. They're still very new and I'm sure in time it'll come together.
Please note...the food isn't bad at all. For the OVERALL experience, though, we'll give them some time as we stick to our usual.
