And sadly, the pho at Viet House is no different. \n\nThe pho at Viet House is better than Saigon Noodles or any other Vietnamese place I've been to in town, but I felt that the broth could've been more flavorful, the amount of rice noodles could've been more generous. However, their bahn mi is delicious. I had the grilled pork bahn mi and it was exactly what I had hoped it would be. Their grilled pork bahn mi's didn't include any pate, but I usually ask for them to leave it out anyway. I've also had their spring rolls, which typically are non-fried, wrapped with rice paper. I found them to just be average. \n\nThe egg rolls are fried, but they were a disappointment. They should've came with lettuce and basil and herbs to wrap the egg rolls with but instead all we got were just the egg rolls on a plate with some pickled carrots as garnish. \n\nI've been there three times now, and twice my meal was ruined by the waitress. It was the same waitress who was surprisingly incompetent both times. We had asked her specifically whether the egg rolls came with lettuce and she said yes. Then when it came without any lettuce, we asked for some and she seemed confused by the request. Also, both times in the middle of me taking a bite of my food and enjoying my meal, she stops by and asks whether I am finished. It ruins my meal every time. I rather no service than incompetent service.\n\nCome here anyway. Just get the bahn mi to go."^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ .
