My wife, as usual, craves the taste of Vietnamese cuisine... especially Pho and we're always on the lookout for a good bowl in our area. A quick Google search shocked us to know there was one quite close at North Strathfield.
After a few glances through their menu, she naturally ordered a bowl of Pho Tai, essentially Pho with thinly sliced raw beef which you submerge into your boiling soup to cook and eat as you please. They bring her a bowl of Pho but needed to be asked for the sauces to compliment as it wasn't naturally on the table.
What people do compliment about this place is their large variety to which I always say is a bad thing. Large variety usually masks that you're a jack of all trades... but master of none.... and in this case the Pho spoke for itself. I took a few spoonful and the taste of the broth was too subpar to carry the dish.
Fortunately, well kinda, for me I got the Com Bo Luc Lac which is tender cubes of scotch fillet beef with black pepper sauce. I chose the tomato red rice as opposed to steam rice.... or you have the option to make it fried rice. The sauce was too salty... but at the least the tomato red rice was buttery and well-cooked.
As we waited for our food, we noticed the decore was lacking love... just basically a new carpet and some paint... The service, despite barely any customers, was slow and even though I ordered only two dishes he somehow had to comeback from the kitchen to reconfirm my dish as if he wasn't paying attention after he wrote down our order and left the table.
The positives include they take Credit Cards above $10 orders and the most dishes were reasonably priced. The place could potentially be something great for the locals... but unfortunately the service and quality of the food just isn't on par.
