Wow. Just left this restaurant after one of the most shaking restaurant experiences I've ever had. I'm still terrified because the disturbing experience I've just had was one in a million and not a good million either. Of all the restaurants I have visited in my lifetime, none has ever reached this level of repulsion.
The general look of the place will have you questioning your choice immediately. There are posters, one in particular being very offensive (first attached below), and they all give the dining place a shady and unwelcoming feel. There are tons of natural medicine and anti-doctor propaganda and the aforementioned poster invites saving money for prostitution. Not to mention the Trump support shoved in your face as well.
Of course, you go to a restaurant for the food, not just the scenery. My family sat down and we ordered some Thai tea to-go and the owner refused our request because getting more plastic cups was "too inconvenient" for her. After almost an hour of waiting, our food finally arrived and it was unsurprisingly bad. The noodles tasted like slimy, chewy rubber bands and the fish sauce was overly spicy. The salad consisted of half a plate of rice and had half a strawberry in it??? It was definitely not worth the wait. One of my cousins ordered a bowl of pho and had a bad reaction to it due to his sensitivity to MSGs, a chemical that tastes good but is harmful to your body. My brother-in-law tried to order com tam, a common Vietnamese cuisine, but the owner rudely protested this idea. She began saying that the dish was only for poor people and that quote, "This store is not for poor people."
She apologized for the wait, but only because she had a single server active and that we, the large majority of her few customers, were "too many people" and that we should have "come in small groups". Um hello, we're a FAMILY.
The owner also locked the front door and refused to let anyone else in for a while with no reasonable explanation. And let me tell you, eating in an enclosed room filled with dusty antiques and empty tables definitely feels creepy. I believe that she had done this because she could not afford any more customers since the service was so slow. After this, the owner desperately tries to compensate for the bad service with only one extra pitcher of water.
TLDR; Okay so this restaurant may not have been the best experience and I admit that it was my fault for staying longer than I should have but please, of all the delicious and extravagant meals in Vegas, please do not come here. You'll be greeted with natural medicine propaganda posters, empty tables, and an overly arrogant restaurant owner.
Ph 87 is not for poor people, it's for no one.
