RollPlay: Viet Food That Loves You!

Came with my partner to enjoy some late night dinner and we were happy with our dish! I got a vegan pho with tofu and my partner got a spicy oxtail pho. The vegan was a little bland, but the oxtail pho was literally otherworldly. Incredibly delicious. I do wish the vegan pho was a little more flavorful, even without meat there can be flavors. The space was very cute, we ate on cushions stairs and I liked the tree effect created with the decor. We ordered from a screen and the food took a second to come out, but it was worth it. Took me a second to find the place, it’s on the second floor of another restaurant. People inside will direct you to the top. Very nice place, very nice food.

Food: unfortunately, probably one of the worst Pho and spring rolls I had. The soup was lukewarm at best, which makes it impossible to "cook" the herbs and bean sprouts. The noodle texture was not right, a bit overcooked. The tofu was okay, but only 3 tiny pieces. The veggie spring rolls were not crispy (maybe pre-fried?) and it was basically a gigantic taro stick inside without much more. Also, the menu has changed quite a bit from the photos with apparently fewer options. Also, add another $4-5 for the price to what you see in the menu photos. Service: very friendly and energetic staff, but not attentive. Didn't notice my Pho had not utensils when they brought it to me table, and I asked for them and she said you could go get them from the order counter. It was 8pm at night not like she was busy. 🤪 Atmosphere: hip with energetic background music, but really couldn't offset the bad food.

Terrible, overpriced pho. My noodles were overcooked mush. The bowl was small and unsatisfying. Why do all my fellow millennials care about making food look good on IG, instead of how it actually tastes? Just go up the street to Pho 75 for an authentic experience for cheaper.
