| - I ordered the Pho Ga (chicken), fried gyoza, strawberry smoothie, and a mango smoothie for my bud.
The broth was sweeter than any other I've had, which I didn't like. I added sriracha which helped a little. The bean sprouts, jalapenos, onions and culantro were really fresh. The gyoza was pretty good and I like that they gave the option of fried or steamed. Most other places just serve it steamed without asking, in my experience. I didn't enjoy the strawberry smoothie at all. There were no bits of fruit in it and it had too much liquid in it as though it had been melting for a while and then it proceeded to melt very fast, which perplexed me. I gave it to my S.O. and she liked it and my friend liked his mango smoothie, so perhaps it was just me but the smoothie was just not what i was expecting.
THEY DON'T GIVE REFILLS ON REGULAR FOUNTAIN DRINKS. This the first time I've been to restaurant that didn't. Its indicated on the menu. When we first walked in we were told to sit anywhere, so we sat at the bar-style seats facing the front window. It was good seating because we were able to people-watch and take good pictures of each other and the food with natural light. The waitress looked like she was only person working (other than chefs). She gave us mason jars with ice water immediately but didn't return to take our drink orders as most restaurants do. We ordered our drinks, appetizer, and entree all at once and we weren't checked on or asked if we wanted to order dessert. There were no napkins. The waitress brought the bill without asking if we were together or separate...and we were two young adult college-aged females and a teenage male so I think that was exceptionally presumptuous of her. It wouldn't have been a big deal if we were all using the same form of payment but we were not. Though I was slightly put off by the service and my meal, the restaurant was very clean with a fine ambiance.
