Cash only
Soup was not as flavorful as expected. Lots of ingredients
Spring rolls were good, sauce was lighter than expected but good
Would recommend just make sure you have enough cash
It was lunch time on a Sunday and craving for some authentic pho. Most of the nearby restaurants have long lineups and we traded for Pho Bang New York with no line up, and it was getting late.
We ordered 2 identical medium Size rare beef Pho, nothing sophisticated and basic in order that we can get our order fast. What is basic for one is not basic for others as it took a long time to get just 2 bowls of Pho.
The soup was hot but not boiling hot as I would have expected. Taste was just OK, and the amount of meat was satisfactory.
I was sitting at the end table facing the kitchen entrance and I can tell you that the sight was not a good one. I can tell when hygiene is not on the top priority list. I hate to visualize how the interior kitchen would look like.
We finished our lunch and went to the cashier to foot the bill and a sign “ Cash Only” took me by total surprise.
I do not always carry cash on me but luckily I had just enough to settle the bill.
I subsequently read the reviews and crystal clear that I am not the only one caught with the Cash Only situation.
This teaches me a lesson of not reading the reviews before going in a restaurant or business.
Everything that you look for in a restaurant, great quality food, excellent service, food came up really fast, the place was clean! And with a reasonable price. We spent $35 in 2 bowls and an extra plate of chicken tacos that the server recommended, they were really good! It was so hungry and it was so good that I forgot to take pictures of the incredible food hahahaha. I recommend plate #36 with the additional chicken tacos.
Overall a very good experience. I ordered the weekend special noodle and it was excellent. They gave me plenty of meat and it was very fresh! Wish they gave me more noodles but it's fine. I ordered extra portion so there is that.
Service could be better here but as is the case in many Asian restaurants that are busy, YOU NEED TO BE LOUD!
