"Food was ok, but then anything is good when you are really hungry. The place was only about half full on a Saturday night in the downtown restaurant district. No street parking or dedicated lot, so you have to circle or park in a deck that cost $10 for 2 hours. Despite arriving a few minutes early for our res, it took a full hour to get our food (hence the 2 hours' parking). On of my dining friends said the pork was gristly in his sandwich. My rice and salmon dish was swimming in sugar, no respite with any plain white rice as it was soaked too. Also rice bowl-type dishes need to be served in a bowl, not on a big flat plate with chopsticks (and chopsticks was my first eating utensil). The dealbreaker is that it took an hour. An Hour. When we asked if it would be much longer, the waiter told us that the salmon takes a long time. If you ever cook fish with a seared crust, you know that it's over high heat and done quickly, so I give him the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't know how the food is prepared, rather than calling it a lie. Given that in a restaurant, the rice is precooked, the pho stock is precooked; at most the pork and salmon are ready to go on the grill, waiting a full hour is inexplicable. We almost left and doubt we will return."
