"The experience at the restaurant was decent, but it felt a bit overpriced. I requested water with ice, and it came in red Solo cups, which are usually used for beer pong—quite an unusual choice. We ordered fried spring rolls for $7, and they were served on a paper plate. I jokingly told my wife that if the pho was presented in plastic bowls, we would walk out. It was indeed served in plastic, but we decided to stay since we were still hungry. The pho was tasty, but at $14 for a medium-sized plastic bowl, it felt rather steep. The only authentic touch were the metal utensils. I understand that the restaurant industry faces tight margins, but using plastic and paper made the experience feel inexpensive, almost like a low-quality backyard BBQ. We likely won’t be coming back."
