Ugh. That poor place is awful. Trying to stay local with takeout - and we only can afford to do that once in a while - what a disappointment. Tried to do something different and what a mistake. Server blamed ME for not being able to find them (address and location are incorrect on their website, as well as the restaurant name). If the man would have at least been polite and just a tiny bit apologetic instead of rude, I MAYBE would have given them a second chance. A few words can make big difference. THEN the food was inedible. Short ribs?? No way they were short ribs. Maybe it was a bad night, but best wishes for all…

Horrible. Food tasted completely horrible. The business is not called Thai BBQ when you try to go find it, it’s called Pho ever, so my husband spent 15 minutes wandering around looking for the restaurant. The owner did not care at all. The beef short ribs were tiny pieces of bony gristle. Do not waste your money like we did.

Complete ripoff! I had the BBQ short ribs. I paid $15.50 for a dish of rice. There were a few ribs which were mainly bones and the meat was tough. No sauce to speak off. Nothing Thai about it. The flavor was not good and had zero spiciness when one of the main characteristic of Thai food is how spicy it is. I also had the $9.95 Thai Fried Chicken Muchie. It was mostly small breaded balls with very little chicken and no flavor. It came with a small dish of some sauce. Again, nothing Thai in that dish.

My son and I stopped in for a bite. The owner was friendly, attentive and helpful. My son got a bonmi on a fresh, crispy baguette and I had grilled chicken pho. Big piece of grilled chicken, hot and delicious pho chicken broth. Although the atmosphere is small and geared for take-out it was noticeably clean, even the bathroom was spotless. I would definitely go back.

This was absolutely hands down the worst Vietnamese restaurant food Ive ever had. I should have known better when its labeled as a cafe/bistro. The only reason I stopped here with my friend was because of google reviews were showing highest in the area (I'm from out of state), but after tasting this place you can tell its reviews from a whole bunch of people who don't know authentic Vietnamese food as it was more of a fusion/cater to American taste buds type & not to sound racist but most of the reviews are non-asians that are mostly just praising the bubble tea which definitely doesn't do the review section justice as I believe its probably a lot of local college kids & such that never truly tasted authentic good Viet. food. The broth was so salty in the pho and didn't have a good flavor and the prices are pretty much mirrored of what most Pho restaurants charge but their portions are less than half of what is normal and stingy in giving bean sprouts and jalapeños w/lime wedge. The seafood pho I got had frozen store bought freezer pack type in it with very tiny portions of actual seafood which I think I counted 3 pieces of shrimp and rest was imitation crab meat and split in half balls of fish cake (2). Normally the broth is one of the best parts to drink after eating all the noodles & meat but I couldn't even sip a quarter of it as the broth was just so salty. The bahn mi I got was pretty much just a toasted piece of hoagie bread with the thinnest layer of pickled vegetables and again only 4 to 5 pieces of shrimp with no sauce except the hoisen sauce on the side. For the price you pay-you basically do all your own work to get your own food and throw away so kind of defeats the purpose of 20% tip and leaves you hungry due to the tiny abnormal portion sizes. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR if looking for good authentic pho & meals and check elsewhere as theres a few other places nearby.

Some good.some bad. Decent flavor with the curry, but the beef medallions were over salted. Biggest disappointment and why I won't go back is the amount of tofu in the curry and beef medallions with no added veggies were not enough for a meal or these prices.

The food was disgusting. The fried chicken appeared to be frozen chicken fingers, the fish cakes appeared to be frozen crab cakes. Nothing was authentic like advertised.

I just ordered for the first time. I paid 25 dollars and the food was not enough even to satisfy my daughter who is 5 years old !!!.. Three plates, ridiculously small
