| - I've got to say props to them to having a full house when I came! Considering it's a place that didn't open too long ago, I was surprised.
I ordered a large rare beef pho (S-$7.50, L-$9.50), a small rare beef and beef brisket pho, and a chicken pad thai ($8.50). For pho, this place was quite pricey. The broth didn't have the usual pho flavour, and it actually tasted sort of bland. It wasn't pungent and did not leave me satisfied. Also, a large is not too big; although it comes out in a large bowl, there wasn't a lot of beef or noodles, just majority soup. The beef was already almost all cooked when it came, it was try and tough, and there was very little beef; so this was quite sad for a large. The beef brisket was also dry and tough, and was difficult to eat, couldn't bite it apart.
I originally wanted a beef stew, but they ran out of it- which was disappointing and a little bit questionable considering I went there at around 2 PM. What would happen when the dinner rush came in? I guess other people wanting to try the beef stew will be let down.
The pad thai wasn't bad, but nothing spectacular. It was also bland in comparison to other vietnamese restaurants.
I liked that the food came very quickly after ordering.
On a side note, all the waiters and waitresses were very young; most likely university students. They should fix up their working attire because all the girls wore low neck clothing that didn't cover up very much; and I found this to be very inappropriate in a working environment. Their service wasn't too bad at least.
So overall, not a horrible place, but I won't be coming back again.
