Mon restaurant préféré! Je suis allé au Vietnam donc je sais de quoi je parle quand il s'agit de soupe Tonkinoise! Ça goute exactement pareil! Le service est très rapide, les serveurs sont toujours gentils & souriants & le la prix sont bon! Je fais souvent 45 min de route juste pour y aller!
On a attendu un bon 2 min pour avoir une table, pour commander ca pris 15 min, On avais commander avant les autres clients puis on la recu en dernier & pour avoir notre eau , j'ai demander 2 fois pour l'eau & pour mon assiette de ble germe , fallais je le demande aussi & j'avais presque fini ma soupe. Les boulettes de viande gouttais bizarre , j'ai cracher car ca roulais dans ma bouche , les bouts de viande cetais seulement du gras. Je suis vietnamienne , je sais exactement les bon plats vietnamien mais celui la cetais pas a mon gout. Je donne seulement mon avis & mon experience
Je commande toujours la soupe Pho poulet grillé qui est excellente & la semaine passée j'ai été pour la première fois au resto, ambiance chaleureuse & propre, bon service, je recommande fortement.
Ce soir, ma femme & moi avons commandé via une application mobile en précisant clairement dans les notes : « sans gluten », car c'est essentiel pour nous, que ce soit pour une intolérance ou une condition plus sérieuse.
À la réception de la commande, nous n'avions reçu aucune communication du restaurant pour nous informer d'un problème. Ce n'est qu'en ouvrant les sacs, une fois la commande déjà livrée & impossible à retourner, que nous avons découvert une simple note : « The grilled chicken has gluten ».
Cela signifie que les plats reçus ne pouvaient tout simplement pas être consommés. Nous avons donc payé pour un repas inutilisable.
Si vous n'offrez pas d'options sans gluten, ce n'est pas un souci. Ce qui est essentiel, c'est d'en informer le client avant de préparer la commande afin de voir s'il existe une alternative ou, au besoin, de procéder à un remboursement.
Agir de cette manière donne malheureusement l'impression que la priorité n'est pas le bien-être du client, mais seulement la transaction.
First time ordering from this restaurant & very disappointed.
We ordered two pho soups with grilled chicken through Uber Eats specifically because of the good reviews. In the notes, we clearly mention'gluten, allergy' since one of us cannot eat gluten for health reasons.
Despite this, they sent the soups with a note saying'the chicken has gluten.'
So why prepare & send it anyway?
We paid $50 for two soups & both arrived containing gluten. Instead of taking two seconds to call or message us to suggest another dish, confirm an ingredient, or simply cancel/refund, they just sent food that we cannot eat.
This shows a lack of care & respect for customers with dietary restrictions. Extremely disappointing experience & makes us feel like they only cared about taking the money, not about the customer.
The pho was way too greasy, which made it feel a bit heavy. The grilled chicken also seemed like it was just reheated-way too dry & tough. Definitely not what I was hoping for.
Easy to find parking, the food is amazing & I got a great service as well. The waitress suggested me a very nice main course & dessert! Overall good experience!
I love coming to this place. Food is amazing, the staff is friendly, the vibe is very relaxed. We're going to have a pause & good food. This is my place. I highly recommend it.
Food was ok. The meat was not very fresh in the pho, almost slimey. We had it delivered & the tops of both our soups' broth containers were off & the broth was delivered partly just... In a bag... It was pretty cold when it arrived.
