| - I'll start with the positives. Our server and bartender were very friendly. Decor, though minimal, was cool.
My pork belly steam bun was amazing. The bun was starting to get a little soggy, but still held together. Steamed perfect and filled with a delicious, savory little pocket of meat. Good size and I thought the value overall was fair.
My friends tried a variety of Pho, Udon and Pad Thai. Nobody complained, but there wasn't the usual 'OMG this is so good'. We love our food and get pretty jazzed when it hits the spot. There was a remark about it being 'NOT pad thai' and the other girls picked a lot of green pepper out of their Pho and Udon.
The Ebi steam bun (shrimp) was not quite as flavorful. I think this would be better if the shrimp was cut up? I know that doesn't do much for presentation, but if I could get shrimp in every bite it would make a huge difference. Most bites of this bun were just vegetable.
The Philly sushi roll was huge and very pretty. Something was different than typical sushi and although I couldn't put my finger on what it was, I wouldn't order it again. I feel bad saying that, because the food was certainly not bad! It's just that if I wanted sushi, I'd probably go elsewhere.
While our service was friendly, it was quite slow. There weren't many other tables so we were surprised how long it took for drinks and other things.
I'm not sure that I'd come back to Roxu. Maybe I'd grab some pork belly buns for takeout though!
