A different kind of Vietnamese food

by HoochiMinh

Remember folks, NEVER GO TO A TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT FOR ATMOSPHERE. "Service" is not part of Vietnamese restaurant culture. I think the attitude is, "here's the food. Eat it! You don't need me smiling & fawning at you to eat your food!"

On that note, I had the com suong nuoung bi cha and the cha was...REALLY WEIRD. Probably my fault for not eating the pho at a pho joint. No desire to try again, though.

Best Pho in town

by TellMeWhatsGood

I love their Pho tai. The broth is light and flavorful and they use enough cilantro/coriander for my taste. Each Vietnamese restaurant in the area seems to have its strengths. The Pho is deffinitely theirs. The summer rolls and spring rolls are quite good too. I can't say that I've ever had problems with the service.

• Pros: Pho Tai, price
• Cons: Atmosphere

Bad Customer Service

by ohgoshkim

The food is good and price is affordable. But if you're looking for good customer service, you need to seek elsewhere. I had dinner with my brother and ordered "Bo Tai Chanh" and they gave us four tiny slices of lime. My brother who loves extra lime juices asked for more, the asian-waiter stared at us and said "Why? Did you taste it?" I was polited to him when i ordered by saying "Uncle, can i order...." and said thank you also. I always eat there whenever i'm down in Chinatown, PA. Before I tolerate the attitude service, but I think i have had enough. I think there's a belief that asians give bad tip, but I think $5.00 is not that low for two dinners. I think tip shold be given due to merit or good customer service. If waiters continue to give us bad attitude, then it defeats the tipping purpose.
