Of course we had to try Ha Long due to the massive amount of highly rated reviews on Yelp. We didn't realize how long the wait would be on a Friday night either, but we toughed it out and waited an hour for our table. Too bad this wait was not worth it.
Once we looked at the menu, we noticed that the cuisine is not strictly Vietnamese or Thai, but rather a combination of items from South East Asia. We were totally OK with this, it'll be nice to have choices.
We decided to stick with Viet items and had the crispy fried seafood noodles and a bowl of pho. The wait for food also took a long time and sadly was a disappointment.
Both the noodle choices were unimpressive in presentation and less so in taste. The crispy noodles were plentiful, but not crispy. The sauce was plain and the toppings overcooked. We've definitely had better crispy noodles elsewhere. Then we tried the pho and was just saddened by it. Broth was lazy and ingredients lacking, especially for a "special."
Maybe we should've had Thai or Laos food from this place but we doubt we'd be coming back. The food was just not to our liking.
