She said that's correct and confirmed that the offer was still good. We then asked again if it's good for the oxtail pho and she said yes it was good for all the pho. Our mind was blown and we ordered!\n\nThe Nem Nuong Cuon was delicious. I especially liked the sauce that came on the side. It's different than the usual sauces I get from other Vietnamese restaurants. It was thick and a bit tangy.\n\nI ordered the Shrimp Pho since none of the other pho they had listed had tripe. This was a disappointment. The shrimps were small and overcooked. It tasted like rubber.\n\nFor the drinks, we selected Thai Ice Tea. It was way too sweet. Too much sugar taste and not enough of the Thai flavoring.\n\nWhen the check arrived, the bowls of pho were charged for full price while the two Thai Ice Tea drinks we ordered were $0. We asked the waitress and she was confused. Then another waiter came by and we explained the situation. They spoke among themselves in Vietnamese and the waiter then said that the $4.99 pho is for a smaller bowl and what we got was a regular bowl. We explained to him that that's not what our waitress said, she didn't say anything about a smaller bowl, and we specific wanted the $4.99 special. The waiter said that it was a misunderstanding and nothing can be done since we already ate the pho. (How is it a misunderstanding??? We specifically said we wanted the $4.99 special. They must have known or else why would they charge us $0 for the drinks?) This went on for 5 minutes and the waiter said that he was willing to waive the appetizer but can't do anything about the bowls of pho, which would have to be regular price. By this point my husband was fed up with the entire situation and he just handed over the credit card. \n\nAs the waiter and waitress were at the cash register adjusting our bill (complimentary appetizer but charging us the full price for the 2 bowls of pho), I was able to find the Yelp photo which had the advertisement. I brought it to the register to show them that nowhere did it say a smaller bowl of pho and we were not told. The guy just kept on saying it was a misunderstanding.\n\nWhen the check was brought back by our waitress, she said they adjusted so it's the combo price.\n\nThe entire check situation was a waste of time and unprofessional. I don't understand how a misunderstanding on the waitress' part makes us, the customer, liable for paying for it. Yes they eventually charged us $4.99 but this whole thing could have been avoided if the waitress was properly trained.\n\nPS Call before you come in the evening. They don't stick to their hours listed. When we were there, they were turning people away at 8pm, even though they hand written a note saying they were closing at 9pm (official closing hour is midnight)."^^ . . "2016-07-16T00:00:00"^^ .
