Pho Tien

I used to love this restaurant. When it first opened I ate lunch and dinner there four days straight. Now there are new owners. The beef vermicelli salad uses sliced roast beef from a deli, aka sandwich meat. The fresh spring rolls have noodles, a tiny bit of lettuce and a few half shrimp that taste strongly of charcoal lighter fluid. I mean if you want to char grill the shrimp, at least wait for the lighter fluid to dissipate. It is not needed or recommend because of the time it would take to do it right. I'm so sad to lose this restaurant. I saw another customer eating Pho that had sandwich meat in it as well. At least a new Vietnamese restaurant opened near Target. It is pricey and not what Pho Tien used to be, but at least you can get great fresh spring rolls and Bahn Mi there.

It is now under new ownership by the family that owned Saigon Phò on Rt 14. The food is great as it always was up at their previous place.

This restaurant is... a mess. Maybe I caught them on a bad day or something but I was truly underwhelmed with my experience at Pho Tien. When I walked in, there were at least three customers waiting for their to-go orders and they all seemed frustrated. I was also ordering to-go so when I finally made it to the front, I was greeted by a lady who seemed very confused. I had to give her my order three times before she understood. She charged me the wrong amount and she could not figure out how to reimburse me the extra charge so she called another gentleman over who also seemed equally confused. They spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to return money to my debit card. After spending over 45 minutes in this restaurant waiting for my food, I finally got my order and... it was wrong. I was so frustrated by that time that I just left with what they gave me. The food was ok... but it’s really not worth all that hassle.

Update to my previous review, never again will I patronize this restaurant. The service tonight was horrific, not horrible, horrific. Food was not even close to being delivered all at once. A gentleman there had waited 45 minutes without food. My daughter got no food at all. When she told the owner to cancel her order after 40 minutes of not getting any food at all, the owner had the audacity to yell at my daughter. This could not be countenanced. I told the lady she had no right or reason to yell at my daughter. Our food went undelivered except for mine, and I never so much as got irked with the young lady serving, yet this woman felt like she had the right to yell at my daughter and the other customer who hadn't received any food. It was so unprofessional and uncalled for, that a third party in the restaurant commended me on my restraint when dealing with the owner lady. If you want some good Vietnamese food go to LA Pho, because I don't recommend going to Pho Tien at all, because clearly they have no respect for their customers.

Sorry to say that the new owner doesn't know how to cook. I used to come here to eat all the time. They had one of the best Pad Thai I ever had. New version is garbage. The meat was awefull and they cover it up with some pretty strong sweet sauce. Such a disappointment. Not recommended.
