"An absolute nightmare. I have never in my life eaten pho as terrible as this. We ordered off UberEats, which I understand will affect the quality of the food, but even after taking that into account, the food was practically inedible. The beef broth was very bland, the noodles were broken into 2cm segments before they even came out of the container, the beef was bearable, and finally the single beef meatball that it came with was the most soggy overly-expanded mushy spongey mouthful of meat I've ever had the displeasure of putting in my mouth. This was the very first time that I did not eat more than half an order of pho, and the very first time that I have not finished a single meatball. The lemongrass chicken tasted like microwaved chicken with two sear lines that were almost inexplicable considering that the chicken didn't even taste grilled at all. It was dry and rubbery and made chicken breast salad seem soft and juicy in comparison. There was no lemongrass flavor to be found, and I was so concerned that I almost had to post a missing ingredients alert since I was certain that I had ordered a lemongrass chicken on rice. Maybe the chef was having a bad day and the lemongrass ran away, and I can only hope that the chef found it again for the subsequent orders of this pitiful dish. I don't understand how this place has such high ratings, and I won't be trying it again to find out."
