I used to eat here a lot when it was Nem Nuong Bistro but decided to check this place out as it had a decent rating now that it's been renamed/under new management?
Anyway, walked in and was promptly seated. Three other tables were occupied when we got there (around 8pm?)
We were given glasses of water right away along with menus. As for the service after our food was given, that's a whole different story.
We started off with nem nuong as an appetizer and I got the large flank pho and the gf got the large beef ball pho as main.
The grilled sausage was decent, no complaints there.
We were given our pho 5-10 minutes after our appetizer.
I can't speak for her pho as I didn't taste it but with mine, the broth was very bland.
There were a lot of noodles and not much meat, at least compared to other places with a similar price range of $8-$9 for a large bowl. I know some people don't mind eating the fat but I ended up with about 2 tablespoons of fat/tendon after I finished what were just scraps of meat.
We were never checked up on after being served our main. After we were obviously done (neither of us even finished half of the bowl) the 2 employees working the dining area were too preoccupied watching a rerun of Friends on the TV on the wall and couldn't be bothered. We were literally just 1 table over to the left from them, very hard to miss us! Needless to say we had to get up and just go to the register until one of them rang us up.
I've been to a good number of pho places up and down Spring Mountain Rd. and away from the area as well. I'd say any other pho joint down that road would be a very decent choice over this one. Definitely recommend Viet Noodle Bar as it's consistent and it's just west of Decatur.
Do yourself a favor and pho get about this place.
