Here's Becky from Chicago:
I just moved to Milwaukee and, growing up Vietnamese-American, wanted to find a Vietnamese restaurant I could try out with my parents. This place had the most and best reviews, but I disagree.
Overall I thought the place was average yet overpriced. Vietnamese food is all about family and comfort, so if you're looking for that, this is not the place to go. If, however, you're looking for some decent Viet food and willing to pay for a nicer atmosphere, you'll probably like the place.
I ordered the bun thit nuong while my parents shared the pho.
The bun thit nuong was alright. It's a pretty straightforward dish but they fell short on a some key components of the dish. First the fish sauce was too salty and would've been better with some sugar and vinegar. Paired with the beef, which was also salty, made me keep reaching for my water while eating it. The beef was, however, tender. The biggest drawback for me is the amount of fish sauce they gave. For an entire bowl they only gave a small amount of fish sauce. It was so little I felt like I was eating plain dry vermicelli noodles. The waitress didn't come back out from the kitchen for me to ask for more though and by the time she did I had finished my meal. Top that off with the hefty $15 price tag I really wasn't feeling the place. With that high of a price I would have expected either bigger portions or higher quality taste but instead got something I could probably make for less than $5.
The pho was fine but came with a tiny plate of veggies/herbs so again, with the $15 price tag felt it wasn't worth the money.
Had I paid $10-12 for each dish I probably would've rated this place 4 stars but it just really wasn't worth the money. Keep in mind though that I grew up Viet so I'm definitely more picky than the average customer, but you also get a review from someone who grew up eating authentic food!
