"All the dishes were too small and taste like vinegar."
"The soup on the other hand had horrible smell of old oil/fish, didn’t come with fresh plate of herbs and in general was very oily."
"The tofu was soggy and tasteless, and the veggie spring rolls I ordered were dry like cardboard."

Service

"Horrible and unclean place... rude and unprofessional."
"No drink for over 30-45 minutes, not even water had to request several times and eventually got up and got it myself."
"DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT DINE HERE. I made a reservation for 8.30 pm we did not get seated till 8.55."
Value for Money

"I would say excellent value for money."

"Fantastic value for money and the food filled me up."
"The two course lunch set meal is great value."
Cons:

"The food was usually good and tasty."
"The only positive thing is that you can bring your own beer."

"This is definitely at the pricier end of the Pho Mile scene."
"Bad and pricey food!"
Ambience

Cons:
"The atmosphere is quite weird."

"Only 3 stars for atmosphere because it was lunchtime midweek and rather empty."
"Very unclean. I seen a mouse run from the kitchen to the bar area."
"Awful animal cruelty. A large fish has been placed in a salad bowl by the entrance as a good luck offering."
