"Went here after craving some Pho for weeks. I sat down and within seconds I was greeted and given a menu. I was impressed by the quick and attentive service provided by the staff, who promptly greeted me upon arrival and offered me a table in a tastefully decorated dining area.The menu options at this establishment were decent, offering a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes and some modern twists. Ordered a bowl of pho as again, I was craving that for weeks and here I am now with the opportunity to have just that. Ordered my pho with extra limes ... few minutes later the bowl was at my table with two small lime wedges. I thought to myself hmm... maybe he didn 't hear me ask for extra limes? , when he came around I asked him for extra limes once again and he kinda game me this look like he had already done so. I didn 't think much of it and a few moments later he brings a ramekin with 1... yes ONE lime wedge. I couldn 't believe my eyes. Has the economic climate with soaring inflation and increasingly climbing interest rates, has that been the driving factor for all the local businesses to tighten up on the extras ? I didn 't ask him for an entire lime, I guess I just expected maybe 3 lime wedges as extra . While this may seem like a small detail to most, it is important to note that the extra lime wedges are essential to achieving the perfect balance of flavors in a traditional Pho dish. Needless to say I was immediately turned off and didn 't even bother using the extra lime wedge he brought. Oh yea and the pho itself was pretty mediocre, not bad but I 've certainly had better and with better service. If limes are expensive, just say you 'll charge extra for extra limes, I don 't mind paying for an entire damn lime if you just give me enough lime! Am I going crazy or what... here I am writing a review about how I got a one piece of lime wedge with my pho. Not worth it, there are other Pho places I 'll be going to next time. This place isn 't it for me."
