"We dined here on the strength of the reviews. It was a massive letdown. Unless you like lots of hairs in your crappy overpriced food, I would pass on this place. Read on for our experience: First, should've looked at their health score: 40. We ordered the lemongrass beef and vermicelli noodle bowls and the Vietnamese egg rolls. The noodle bowls had not one, not two, but THREE hairs in them, and not even the same hairs!!! Disgusting. The beef was terrible, only the slightest whiff of lemongrass could be detected. Also the pictures showed the bowls with egg rolls in them, as is always the case in a Vietnamese restaurant. Well not these! Had to order them separately and pay for the privilege... The egg rolls tasted only like the rancid seed oil in which they had been fried. And they weren't served with any dipping sauce, had to ask for that, too. Everything was outrageously expensive: $16-17 for a vermicelli bowl? Get out of here... Also, the place was a verifiable dump. The floors had not seen a broom or mop, in particular under the tables, one can only imagine the kitchen. Bulk restaurant supplies lay in boxes everywhere. Every surface held a grimy and decidedly unappetizing appearance. The owners of this place do not give a tinker's damn about cleanliness, orderliness, presentation or style. The ambience should've given us enough pause to exit before tasting the vile food. So, in summary, disgusting, dirty food with no flavor served at room temperature, all for the cost of a fine dining experience, in the shabbiest filthiest Vietnamese joint i have ever witnessed. If only I could give it zero stars. Bravo."

"Had the opportunity to try out some food at the Chinatown Night Market seems like the website is outdated on their banner, but the address matches up here. Food was pretty good but prices didn't quite align well in my opinion. I feel like they may have increased the prices here due to popularity (hence the $9 on a piece of paper taped over the original price). These items were mainly appetizer types (skewers, rolls) and $9 for them isn't quite justified. Sure it's a night market and you're one of a few select vendors so people will have to come, but if I'm rating holistically those are my thoughts. However, keeping in mind the vendor setting and that there were definitely expenses included to travel from Renton and set up, I'd like to be easier on rating the value so harshly. By the time we ordered, a lot was already sold out. We opted for the shrimp salad roll and the chicken satay in the end. Shrimp roll was pretty good and surprisingly fresh as well as being spread out evenly so that each bite was consistent. You wouldn't get like one bite of only lettuce for example. Price again was mediocre. Chicken satay (skewers) had some amazing flavor, juicy, tender, and sweet. I was definitely a big fan of the chicken which carries most of this review . They didn't skimp on the portions here either because the skewer stick itself was hard to find and hold because chicken was just piled on. Definitely on my bookmarks when I'm around Renton."
