"Attempted to dine in shortly before our train we had to catch. We walked in and it was a very nice, kind of upscale dining area, and there were only two other parties dining in, since it was on the earlier side of the evening. We placed our order and planned to eat for a few minutes, but also get to-go boxes and the check as soon as the food came out.But 20 minutes later, our food still hadn't come out and we weren't going to be able to dine in at all. We asked to have our food packaged in to-go containers instead of plated, and paid the bill so we could just leave with our food once it came out. Another 10 minutes later, still no food and it was coming down to the wire.Finally, we couldn't wait any longer and we needed to be on the way out the door to get to our train. Just as we were getting up to tell our server to just cancel our order and issue me a refund, she came out with our bag of food. Relieved that we would still have dinner and be able to make our train, we thanked her as we took the bag and made our way to the train.We ate our food on the train. My boyfriend said his Pad See Ew was decent, but I wasn't terribly impressed with my Drunken Noodles. It was greasy and overcooked. The noodles were one mushy pile. And barely any flavor except just spicy (it's supposed to be a spicy basil sauce, but I could not taste any basil).I didn't see any reason our food should have taken that long to get out to us when they didn't seem too terribly busy. Maybe they had a lot of to-go orders, too, but there was only one person who came in to pick up a to-go order while we were there. Our server was very nice and understanding, and she did her best to get the kitchen to get our food out sooner, but I guess there wasn't much she could do. (One review here said something about how good food takes extra time, but this wasn't good enough to warrant that long of a wait. I've had better Drunken Noodles and only needed to wait 10 minutes at peak dinner rush.)We should have picked another place for dinner."

"Ever felt like u had a treasure map that no one could find? That was us! : It was hard to find because it was under Bluegold next to Equinox. Once you go inside, they take you to this room which has roughly 7 8 tables. I felt like a queen fine dining at this nice place next to the beach with great servers checking on us. It was so classy! Although the music choice was quite interesting they had Chingy and Snoop Dogg at an exclusive fine dining restaurant. That was a first for us haha. Nothing more interesting than RIGHT THURR with some Pho Banh Cuon lol. Banh cuon was my favorite hands down. It melts in your mouth and was quite big! I would love to see something like a bite size Banh mi dipped in pho broth because this Banh cuon was out of this world. I can't recall what the drink was called but it had egg white foam. It reminded me of the cheese foam milk tea. Sweet with a spike to it very good! The shaky shaky beef was so tender. We were convinced that they shook the cow because the meat was just right haha. If we do come back, we would ask them to go easy on the sauce on the meat because it can be overwhelmed by the sauce of the arugula. My least favorite was the garlic noodles because the dish by itself is just OK. I wish they had an option to add protein to it. Overall, I applaud the servers for pronouncing the dishes right! Vietnamese pronunciation isn't the easiest but she nailed them! Very friendly as well."
