The place is well decorated and looks really nice. Bar set-up is extensive and there are lots of TV's (sports bar flavor?) which is odd for an Asian place. Lots of non-asian staff which I always find strange and non-authentic. I eat a lot of good Vietnamese downtown at Saigon, Superior Pho and #1 Pho. There is no comparison. Spicy Beef Noodle Pho was not all spicy, Short Ribs were fatty and bland, kids pho was bland as well. On the plus side, service was excellent although somewhat unknowledgeable about the offerings. The place certainly has promise but they will need to strengthen their kitchen first. Give it time and try again.
