3 out of 5 ...and that's being generous.
My husband and I went here for lunch today. It was really busy. We have been here before a few years ago, but we couldn't remember the quality of food.
Well, I wanted to really like this place... but I just couldn't. The people/owners seem nice.
But the food was mediocre at best. It's authentic but not good-authentic. It's bad-authentic.
I bought the "Com Tom dish (broken rice, grilled pork, shredded pork/skin, shrimp paste, and something else)" for $8.99. My husband bought the "Bun Bo hue."
First off, it is overpriced. My rice dish doesn't come with the typical fried egg or the side of broth. If you want to add the fried egg, it's an additional 75 cents. Secondly, the grilled pork is dry (almost like jerky) and the rice was very dry (reminded me of day-old rice that you are trying to reheat in the microwave). AND the rice is not the typical 'broken rice.' The dish did not satisfy my hunger level nor my satisfaction level. I'm a small person, and this couldn't get me full.
My husband's "Bun Bo Hue" was EXTREMELY spicy and lacks the 'bun bo hue' flavor. I love "Bun Bo Hue" but NOT here... definitely not here. I would not get that again and neither would he.
I don't think we'll be coming back.
