2 /5 Sam Nguyen: The tables are too high, it prevents you from seeing how small the portions are. The plates had lint on them, and my spoon had a sticky residue, I’m just assuming it’s from the vents and it was quiet that day so the left out cutlery caught all the dust.
Bartenders have masks and enforced the Covid Restrictions nicely, however, one of the bartenders was not covering their nose and brought their mask down completely for a brief moment while cleaning cups to talk to coworkers.
For the price I paid and the portions they serve, I expected the food to be exploding with flavour with the traditional Asian flavours of perfect savoury. Sadly, food was incredibly disappointing. Chicken was the only thing worth it as the portion and the quality is a good representation of the price, but even that was overly salty and slightly burnt. If they toned down on the seasoning, it would of been a lot more pleasant.
Papaya salad is cut way too thin and it is like it was soaked in sweet water for days, it broke to the touch and was overly sweet. You would think there would be some acidity and texture to a salad.
If you blind folded me and made me taste the noodle soup, and the water, I wouldn’t be able the tell the difference. The soup was incredibly bland and just unpleasant. It was 50% noodles and 50% garnish. The pork belly tasted like cold ham. I’m pretty sure if you mixed everything on the menu together, it would eventually be perfectly seasoned.
Each of there dish is garnished with red peppers, I see no purpose of these peppers as it wasn’t spicy and got stuck in your teeth.
The only thing that saved my experience with this restaurant is the beautiful restaurant, nice scenery, great music, nice atmosphere and excellent customer service. I understand this is a new restaurant, hopefully I will have a better experience here once they fine tune and perfect their menu.
