Viet Ai

I can't understand how Viet Ai can achieve such high ratings even with their exceptional service. The food absolutely takes away from the experience. The poultry conditions are quite concerning. The pho is mediocre at best. Broth has heavy traits of MSG as opposed to actual beef bone/meat flavors. The flank meat raises concern as the texture and flavor hints the fact that it sat for what may be an unsanitary/unsafe period. Spring rolls were not made of the correct wrap/skin. It's very similar to typical take-out spring rolls. What was the most concerning were the pork chops. There were obvious indications that the meat sat for long periods of time without being refrigerated. The sour pungent smell and taste prior to actual rot was quite apparent. Given their quality service, I was hesitant (and almost felt guilty) to complain about the food in person. However, I will not be visiting this restaurant again.

Didn't like this place in the beginning, but my wife insisted on coming here. The vegetarian pho is not nearly as good as the meat option, but I found the crown jewel of the menu for me, the vegetarian curry noodle soup. It is spicy soup goodness. Everything is cheap the staff is very friendly and knows us by name already. Would also tackled the summer rolls. That peanut sauce they come with us great.
