Bidra med feedbackWTF? I ordered takeout the special pho with ox tail $18 freaking dollars! and when I poured the soup container with the oxtail, this little piece of **** oxtail was at the bottom! It tasted old and chewy. Also the pho broth had this burned MSG taste to it... what a ripoff! Maybe I should show them how to make real pho... Never again
Went for lunch on a Sunday. This place serves a fairly large menu of staple food and exotic snacks with average prices. Beers are only $2.50 while iced coffee is $4.75. A couple young people in the wait staff was very professional and helpful. He suggested 2 most popular dishes, Cha Ca Hanoi and Canh Bun Rieu Cua. Cha ca Hanoi was authentic with bites of catfish marinaded in tumeric and fried, served on a hot plate, about $14. It was very close to the traditional dish served in the famous place, Cha Ca La Vong, in Hanoi, but without frying the fish in a pot of pork fat over a hot charcoal stove at the table, which can be smoky and smelly. Note that this Northern dish is not served with the fishy herb (la vap), but with other aromatic Northern herbs. Can Bun Rieu Cua was sumptuous with pork shank, snails, blood curls, tofu ect, but the broth is pork bones typical of Southern and Chinese tastes, not made with crab broth as original Northern dish. It's still a good deal $14. This place has a small stage for karaoke nights which can be annoying with bad home-made singers. A dozen old men were out front drinking, smoking talking loudly. Guests inside were also talking loudly. It's a good place for quick bites of above-average Vietnamese food. It's not a good place for quiet, upscale dinners with polite guests.
The Bun Bo Hue here was ok 3/5. 2 stars off because the place had no AC, no fans for guests. Imagine eating Bun Bo Hue here for dinner while sweating like a pig. Also the cashier/waitress girl basically tossed my cash on the counter like she hated her job. Nice decorations inside though.
I see this business for a long time but didn't try it To I order bun Cha hanoi and it taste very good I will came back again
It's located in the prime area of Little Saigon. It has in and out door seatings. The parking could be limited depending on the time. I ordered their house special pho, it was good but not great. I honestly had better. The service is mehhhhh. I understand we are in a severe drought, but they did not even offer me a cup water. With all the restaurants all around, I'd take my business elsewhere next time.
