| - Came here cause our friend noticed a new pho joint and we were in the area. No expectations, but it wasn't good from the get-go. The signage, banners, and grand opening flags just scream Chinese owned, and sure enough it is. Actually, you can recognize the servers from other HK restaurants in the past.
With that said, I guess they're not lying. It's called Le Viet "Asian cuisine" not "Viet cuisine" so don't expect anything remotely authentic. Luckily, I had curry brisket, which was standard HK style. It wasn't terrible, but my buddy's pho was quite sub par. They use ho fun, not the dry noodles, and the broth was a really bland, msg-laden, flavourless solution. No garnishes were provided whatsoever. I guess you don't go to Panda Express or Manchu Wok for Chinese, so don't come here looking for pho. What you'll get is some Canto pseudo-pho that'll leave you thoroughly unsatisfied. Should've named the place Pho-ny Viet lol, it's not cheap either, so if you have any culinary self-respect, save yourself the disappointment and go elsewhere.
