content: So here goes my first ever review on Yelp.  I'll start by saying that in MY personal experience, the crummier and run down a Vietnamese place seems, the BETTER  the food will be.  In the pictures I saw on here this restaurant seemed real clean and tidy so I was skeptical(funny I know).  It also had a trendy/younger type atmosphere as far as the color scheme, lighting and music goes. They had tables on the left side of the room and booths on the right.  On the back wall of the restaurant was a 9-11 person bar with about 4 beers on tap, plenty more in bottles, what seemed to be a full liquor bar and a flat screen with the Heat/Pacers game on. \n   When I first walked in I noticed the 90.0 health rating.  I thought this was strange since it seemed like such a clean place.  I won't guess as to why this is as it may not have anything to do with the food.  I was seated at a booth and as I do at every new Vietnamese place I go to I ordered the fresh spring rolls and beef Pho.  The spring rolls' rice paper was fairly dry which made pulling them apart difficult.  They did come with a sprig of cilantro which I thought was a nice touch as it's not common on the side with these.  The peanut sauce had hot sauce added directly into it which kind of helped since the sauce was pretty bland.  \n   As far as the Pho goes, it was also below par and I'll explain why obviously.  The noodles did not seem to want to unstick from the ball they were massed in and I'll attribute this to the broth being just more than room temperature.  I and I'm sure most people are used to having their Pho come out steaming and piping hot.  And we like this because just as with our coffee, it makes you feel like you are getting it fresh.  As with most Pho it came with a side of sliced jalapenos, wedges of lime and basil.  The cilantro was missing for some reason and I'll guess/joke that I got it with the spring rolls instead of the soup.  We all know how expensive cilantro is ----  Another Joke.\n   So as I was working on the soup and having my arms gluing to the sticky table my opinion was dropping rapidly.  I know a lot of people like this place as the reviews show, but I've eaten at many Vietnamese restaurants in many different places and states as I travel for work and I did not find this to be a good representation of Vietnamese food in the U.S. and wouldn't come here again.  Now it may be that it was just an off night but all the things I just explained lean towards it being that this is just the way this place is.  If you like Vietnamese food and know your stuff, you'll see right through this place.  I also don't like how I had to climb stairs to the second floor of the building to be disappointed. \n    The last two things that caught my attention were that, all the white people were seated by the hostess on the right side of the restaurant and all the Asian people were seated on the left side.  I didn't take offense to this as I found it funny.  The other thing I noticed was the Jimmy John's across the parking lot when I left and knew I had made a poor decision.
