| - I was SO excited to try Viet Noodle Bar. All of the good reviews and pictures had me jumping out of my seat waiting to try it! I was excited to see what all the hype was about. So we decided to try it out instead of our usual spot. When we got there it was a little busy which is no big deal, we don't mind a wait for really good food. So we waited about 5 minutes, and then the server told us there was a booth thats available. We started walking there and all of the sudden another server popped up right as we got there and said "No! This is for someone else" it was very loud and I mean i don't care about a booth anyways but do you need to be so loud about it?
Anyways we got seated at an awkward table meant for 4. Thats fine, we just wanted our pho! We got the calamari for an appetizer because I love calamari. I neveeeer pass it up. I also ordered the beef flank pho, and my boyfriend got the brisket pho.
The Calamari was OK, nothing special about it. Nice flavor, and I liked the dipping sauce.
Now, for the pho. We didnt get any toppings to add to the pho which kind of surprised us, we're used to bean sprouts, basil, lime, jalapeno....etc. But okay, we can live without it! The brisket pho my boyfriend got was great, he loved it. MY pho however....was a different story. It started off great, but I soon noticed all I had was FAT. Literally. All fat, no meat. I didnt order their fatty flank. I ordered FLANK. So it's very very disappointing to find a legit pile of fat in my pho. I included a picture of the fat i picked out for proof, and that wasn't all the fat. There was more in the bowl but it was so gross I couldn't finish the dish. The sad part too was that their portions are incredibly small! We're used to huge portions from other pho places. Honestly I was just sooo sad. On top of that it seems like our server forgot about us. We were left alone not being checked on, or asked of we were ready for a check for what seemed like FOREVER. There was a table behind us with a group of people that got there after us, ate their food, and ended up leaving BEFORE us. We were so annoyed we eventually tracked down another server who kindly helped us out and grabbed our check for us.
If the service was great and outstanding, we would have come back to give this place another shot. But the combo of disappointing food and bad service left us wanting to never come back here again.
