A: Since we were staying at a Hotel so close to Le Quartier Chinois which seemed to have quite a few Vietnamese restaurants I was looking forward to scoring some decent Pho before the trip was over. When we did finally go out we realized that ALL Vietnamese restaurants in the area close at 9pm as opposed to Chinese places which stay open till 2 or 3 AM. Why is that anyway? So we felt rushed to find a place quickly. We chose Pho Cali thinking it looked competent and clean. As we sat down we encountered the dreaded Surly Waiter. Apparently someone whizzed in this guys cornflakes today and he was taking it out on us! He thrust the menus at us without a word with a thoroughly disgusted look on his face. My husband nicely asked if he spoke English. He replied sarcastically "No, Spanish". Imagine his surprise when hubby proceeded to order our entire meal in Spanish. Suddenly pissed off waiter boy spoke English! The rest of the meal was a constant parry of attitude and sarcasm. What school of serving did this guy attend? I didn't check Yelp before going to this purveyor of fine Vietnamese cuisine so I guess I had it coming. Our experience pretty much paralleled other Yelpers regarding paying the bill. He added it up then when we tried to pay with American dollars padded the bill due to the exchange rate. Would not accept our credit card either. We payed cash and left this fine example of waitstaff one shiny Canadian dollar for the privilege of having him serve us and left. Suddenly Nasty waiter follows us out to the street and proceeds to pull an indignant Justin Long tirade from "Waiting"!!! Oh, HELL NO! He says "here sir you left your money on the table". In perfect English no less! I said before he could go any further" oh no you earned every penny of that with your fine attitude" he got all "Guppy" on me opening and closing his mouth and nothing coming out. So aside from the terrible service the Pho was decent, the limeade tangy and tasty and the rolls we had were excellent. Not good enough to justify putting up with such nasty waitstaff. There must be much better Vietnamese places around. I would avoid this one. Just sayin....

Q: positive

A: I don't understand how this place only has 3 stars. I went for the first time last night and it was delicious. Plus the atmosphere is very cool and trendy. The specialty rolls are really unique and tasty. The only thing I could complain about is that some rolls only have 4 pieces. I'll definitely go back here again. Get the Viva Las Vegas Roll. It's amazing!

Q: negative

A: The food here is not good. It's not even that cheap for a local hotel's coffee shop..(I call hotel cafes coffee shops hehe) I think I've tried 1 item from every section of their menu and everything is just average to below .. The service is not good here either. What is kind of good is their complimentary hot bread haha and the restaurant itself is pretty~!!! Hot tip: make sure to check in and use the BOGO entree deal or sign up for a player's card and they frequently send mailer coupons you can use here.

Q: negative

A:
Very disappointed, my girlfriend and I went into this place to try somewhere new, we were immediately met with a snotty attitude from our waiter (Ben). We were told in a very rude way, it wasn't happy hour after we were looking at the only thing on the table, the happy hour menu. Then when my girlfriend asked a question about which fish is in the seafood chowder, again we were met with the snotty answer "seafood" and then a laugh at her question. Can't rate the food as we walked out. The bread and water wasn't bad though.
