Cons:

• "Atmosphere was nice, but while my friend and I were there we kept seeing water bugs."
• "The kinda dingy ambience."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff attentive and eager to help."
• "Staff is kind and helpful in selecting menu items."
• "Lovely lady who took our order."
• "Our server was very awesome and informative during our visit."
• "The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes."
• "From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service from passionate staff."
• "The waiter that we had was truly incredible and was efficient and clearly well trained in customer service."

Cons:

• "I just got my second spam email from the restaurant since I ate there 3 months ago. I don't need multiple emails because I randomly had mediocre pho."
• "Update: Baoburg answered saying gratuity is automatically added to a party of 5 or more, which is really funny cause the last two times I was there it was added to the bill and we were two people once and three the second time. So sorry, but that's a lie."
• "Good food however, the service was terrible. We were the only customers in the place yet the waitresses seemed more interested in socializing with each other than taking care of the only people in the restaurant."
• "The woman at the counter/waiter seemed annoyed by our presence. Very dry and unpleasant to interact with."
• "The service staffs were totally disarray - there were many dirty tables that were never cleaned during my entire 30 minutes stay."
• "Service is terrible, they forget to bring what you ordered, but they don't forget to put it on the ticket."
• "Also, the employee that seemed us and cleaned our table had a bad face the entire time, and was less than happy when I asked him to please clean my stool, as it was full of dirt and dust."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The Grandma's chicken over rice was pretty good."
• "The food was most delectable and very well seasoned."
• "The crispy pork belly was tender and very crispy."
• "The shrimp dumplings are the best I've ever had."
• "Their bao buns are superb."
• "The entire combination along with their version of spicy hollandaise sauce was pretty much perfect."
• "The duck breast over ramen was overall pretty tasty."

Cons:

• "90% of the meal you’ll get in this restaurant is rice."
• "But i definitely have had better drunken noodles. It was too oily not one item was good."
• "The entire order we had was overdone with the seasoning and the mixture of various styles backfired big time."
• "The larb flavor was very minimal."
• "The crispy wings were okay."
• "The Wok Wok noodles were a little bland and wish there was more veggies in it."
• "The garlic Chicken and rice was boring, no garlic flavor stood out."

Value

Pros:

• "Reasonably priced too."
• "Their food is amazing and quite affordable, considering this is NY after all."
• "Food is delicious, maybe a bit higher in price that I’d normally pay for what it is but certainly worth it."
• "Everything is super delicious, reasonably priced, and comes out extremely quick!"
• "Tasty drinks and everything is priced well."
• "Good price."
• "Service is easy and great since you order your food before you sit down and they bring it to your table."

Cons:

• "The tofu at $10 seem overpriced to me as it's really just deep fried tofu."
• "However, they only take cash which is a very big negative for me."
• "I wish it was a little cheaper."
• "The portion are very small and expensive."
• "Overall it's quite pricey for what you get."
• "Food is good but the prices are much too high and everything comes on one-time-use plastic plates…, 15 Dollar Cocktails definitely not worth it, either."
• "A Singha is $9 there."
