text: This place has a nice decor and is in a good location and I suspect that is the only reason why it is been busy so far since it just opened The food is very whitewash Yea I said it white wash The pho broth absolutely has NO flavor We ordered the papaya salad and asked our waiter to ask the chef to make it Lao style we know that the restaurant cooks are mostly Laotian people and wanted it more authentic with all the real ingredients like stinky fishshrimp paste fermented crab etc the waiter looked at us confused We told him we just wanted it authentic He assured us it is authentic and delicious I was NOT comforted by that and told my sister not to order it but she did anyways It came out and was nothing BUT shredded papaya with lime juice tomatoes and peanuts Now if you like white washed papaya then it is fine however just do not expect the real thing I would not mind if the waiter knew that it was NOT authentic and just told us the kitchen did not havekeep all the ingredients to a Lao style papaya salad I have been to places that simply told me that and I still got the papaya salad anyways just to try But it was not just the flavor that gets youthe portion is also very small It is not worth the or dollars they charge at allnnOh and be ware of one of the server She is a nice and kind Asian lady when she serves she carries food tray out on her shoulders She is petite so it must make it easier for her however her hair is shoulder length and curly and I have noticed her hair brushes the food on the tray especially the riceI have noticed this on more than one occasion Yes I have been there twice despite my stars I was extremely sick the first time I went there and decided to give them a second chancennOh yes I also should mention the kitchen takes FOREVER to cook Both times we were there the whole meal took over hours The restaurant was NOT busy and there was only of us
