The food was absolutely amazing. The dishes were huger proportions especially the pho for the price. Only suggest they add fountain drinks instead of cans. Restaurant was super clean and music was not too loud. Food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. Will come again!
This was go to spot for pho probably like once a week I’d go here, absolutely loved it. Recently came here after a few weeks off and instantly felt something was different with the pho. Figured it might just be an off batch, it happens. Nope, entirely new recipe. Not even close to the old one either, this has become an entirely new restaurant operating under its previous name.I really wanted to like the pho, considering this was one of my favorite spots, but I’m sorry it was just incredibly bland and lacking any flavor. As much as I hate to say I don’t know if I’ll be coming back. I might give it a shot again in a month to see if anything has changed, but if this is the new norm then unfortunately I lost my favorite pho spot :
I ordered take out from Vina’s this evening. Vegan spring rolls, vegan egg rolls, and a vegan egg roll tofu bun no cilantro no sprouts. When I got home the bun had cilantro and sprouts. I called the restaurant and they told me the cilantro and sprouts is on the side so it is “okay”. It’s not. I ordered it without those items and repeated “no cilantro no sprouts” when I placed the order. If they could not make it without sprouts and cilantro, that should have been said when I placed my order. They Zelled me a refund for the bun.They also charge a 3% service charge for cards which is illegal in AZ to charge debit cards a surcharge.Surcharge fees are strictly limited to credit card transactions only. Even if a customer wishes to run a signature debit transaction, where a debit card is processed as a credit transaction, you are still not allowed to implement a surcharge. They ran my debit card as credit charged the 3%.
Um...just in case anyone else gets a shock surprise, it's NOT THE SAME RESTAURANT! Hopefully, the new owners/management will get this updated soon. I was very excited to try some of that seafood, authentic ốc, sợ, nghiêu, etc and was set on ordering vietnamese food but was totally disappointed when I got the menu, it is all thai food with a small selection of Pho only. I was going by the reviews which was only a few weeks ago so this must've been an very recent almost overnight change.I decided to uncomfortably stay to support what looks like mom/pop family run business and ordered the safest thing I could. Just an average chicken pad thai, it was good but nothing more than I usually make at home. Expect slow service, again seems like one young teen serving all the tables but I do remember what that was like. Most likely won't be returning, but I do wish them the very best of luck with the new business and encourage average thai food consumer to support them. If you like pei wei, you'd probably be happy here.Also, they only had what appeared to be mom's cell phone tap to pay, and I had to manually enter my debit card info in to pay. Maybe that'll change in the near future.
I've only been here once and it was for a carry out, but it was an ok experience. I ordered chicken pho and it was alright. The pho could have been more flavorful. I've heard they have other dishes that are very good, so they'd be worth another shot for sure!
