Pho Hoa - Westminister CA







Mickey D's Of Vietnamese...


If you have never been to a Vietnamese Restaurant let us tell you what to expect. One it's usually crowded during the prime meal times, it's not the cleanist place, and they always give you small cups of water or you have to pay for water but the food is BOMB! For the love that we have for Vietnamese food we never thought we would encounter a Vietnamese restaurant we absolutely would be so dissapointed with.


First, it took longer than normal to get our food. We were surprised that the food took longer than usual than what Vietnamese food normally takes. What we love best with the Vietnamese food is the freshness. So we were upset that our food did not look so appealing. One thing about the independent "Mom and Pops" establishments is that they do not over supply on their inventory. So you know they buy their produce every couple of days. The noodles in their vermicelli dishes were soggy, the veggies look like they were frozen and thawed out, and the food was just distasteful. One positive thing about it was though was that their portions were big.

Pricing... over the last few years Vietnamese delicacy has jumped up in price so this place has competetive prices but be prepared to pay a little more for the fresh egg roll. It was around $2.50 for one roll.

This establishment is a franchise and they have one in many different places even the Philippines. So its kind of like going to Taco Bell for Mexican food or us Filipinos it's like Jollibee... so thumbs down on this one for sure!!!
