"After a long shopping trip at a department store in the same plaza, we decided to give Pho Sizzle a shot for dinner. I'm a big fan of pho (if I had to eat one dish for the rest of my life, that's what it would be) and my wife can usually find something she'd enjoy on any menu. She was really excited to try their ice cream, but upon entering we saw a sign saying they weren't offering any that day. Big disappointment, but things happen. We ordered crab rangoons and spring rolls for appetizers I enjoyed both; my wife disliked the crab rangoons, which I'll admit tasted nothing like any other crab rangoon I've ever tried, and thought the spring rolls were fine. For entrees, I ordered pho thai (pho with thin beef) and she ordered chow ho fun after seeing a photo that looked tempting online of another patron's dish at Pho Sizzle. My pho broth was uncharacteristically sweet tasting and none of the usual additions were provided, like sweet thai basil and bean sprouts. I would have asked for some, but I knew there was no way either of those would change just how much I disliked the broth. My wife's dish looked, smelled and tasted unappetizing, both on her account and mine. We decided not to eat our meals after a few bites, which is something we never do. Our sweet server noticed and offered to get us other meals but we had to decline, as we had really doubted we'd enjoy anything else after such big misses."
