I drove by Pho this week & couldn't wait to try it!
Came back tonight for Sunday dinner around 6pm.
There was live music and a seat yourself atmosphere.
The inside surprised me, because it's basically an old dive bar.
We searched for a booth, but they were mostly dirty.
I noticed a girl slowly attempting to clear tables. Like 1 cup at a time.
Once we sat at a booth for 8, the only option for our family of 3, she stopped cleaning the other booths.
The menu was extensive with lots of Asian cuisine, random American food of fries & wings, and of course Pho.
The food & service was pretty quick. The food was warm and tasty.
As we sat and ate, it was odd to me, as an ex-waitress, how short staffed the place seemed and how long tables stayed dirty.
I watched a waiter walk up to a dirty table next to us and clear off 1 fork. Only. Then shake his head at the rest.
Our waitress was nice, but literally ran around and shouted responses to customers, "seat your self" "Walk up to the bar"
And looked pained when I asked for an extra plate for my son.
It was the kind of service that wasn't terrible, but didn't leave room for 5 stars, because they were running around crazy.
The music, at 6pm dinner, was also kind of terrible. Filled with swearing & bad Croning.
While the food was pretty decent, the dark atmosphere, random music and hardly cleanly spaces make me think I most likely won't be back.
