Pho Ong Rau

I think I’m general enough with this rating. First I ordered a small phở soup without the noodle. After trying more than 10 Phở restaurants in town, I know what i’m expecting for a delicious beef broth. The top criteria of a good phở restaurant goes to the richness of broth and how thirsty you are two hours after you have it (the more thirsty you feel, the more MSG the broth contains). So of course I wanted to try their broth. Very clear and light-​colour, doesn’t taste strong at all.
For my main course I chose a vermicelli dish with grilled pork & imperial roll. I specified no salad at all except cucumber (which I always do in other places because I hate raw beans sprouts, carrots and cabbages). The waiter didn’t ask me to clarify and he did not repeat what he understood from my order. usually the chef would simply replace the salad with a bit more vermicelli, which makes total sense. What I received was a dish with a bunch of salad, and no imperial roll. I returned the dish, asking to remove the salad and add imperial roll. The second time they brought me the exact same dish only with a roll added on top; the salad was still there. Oh my lord!!!
The grilled meat already became cold by that time.
So i was disappointed about the food.

This place was amazing! So flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I would highly recommend. I had the grilled chicken soup and my friend had the vermicelli with chicken and shrimp… Both excellent!
