Food: Tasteless meals that disappoint

Maison De Pho, a supposedly acclaimed joint, churns out a horrifically bland Oxtail Pho, its spartan beef portions causing heartburn. Their Short Ribs are an unfortunate adventure into the realm of excessive fat, and to add insult to injury, customers have experienced order mistakes with Beef Vermicelli and missing Egg Rolls. The dishes presented lack freshness, with stale bread and slimy vegetables making for a subpar culinary experience.

  • Very Creative

    Exotic menu items well-explained, good for cultural newbies.

  • Okay Value

    Decent Pho for about average prices balances price and taste.

  • Small Portions

    Beef quantity criticized, not considered generous enough for some.

Vibe: Horrifically chaotic date site

If you're thinking of Maison De Pho for your next date night, think again. The ambiance is a shocker, with annoying flies and a repelling, stifling heat. The incessant noise from the open kitchen echoes about the space, numbing conversations and ruining intimate moments.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Unpleasant atmosphere, flies around food, and uncomfortably hot inside.

Perks: Mediocre service with perks

The service is nothing to write home about - mixed experiences are common, and speed is inconsistent. The only salvageable aspects are the ample parking spaces and a large patio which proves somewhat agreeable for group outings. Their stance on pets is rigid, stating they do not belong in the establishment.

  • Great For Kids

    Owners treat kids nicely, making dining out enjoyable for families.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed experiences with service speed and staff demeanor, varies by visit.

  • Bad For Pets

    Explicitly states pets do not belong in an eating establishment.
