An example of an negative review: It so hurts me to write this review. This restaurant is family owned and are the nicest people you ever want to meet. I had been away for a few months and upon return decided to go to one of my favorites--Saigon Nites. You don't understand how I felt about this restaurant. It was on my cell's speed dial! At dinner I ordered chicken PHO. As other Yelpers had complained, yes indeed, there was almost no chicken in the PHO. There was an indication on the menu that you can pay extra for extra meat-- that should have been a clue as I never saw this before. So if you add the surcharge for extra meat we are talking about $10 for PHO? As I was sharing the PHO with someone, I found myself having to remind the waiter that I needed two small bowls. An oversight? In the past, it was done as a matter of course. We told our waiter that we wanted our food spicy. "How spicy?" he asked. We said very spicy. 9 out of 10. Clearly, we like our food spicy. We ordered Shaken Beef and Lemongrass Chicken. When these two dishes arrived at our table, they were covered (and I mean COVERED) with red pepper flakes. Yes, red pepper flakes like the ones you find in a pizzeria to put on your pizza. I couldn't believe my eyes. I called the waiter over and told him I had never seen something like this. I said usually there are Thai peppers or other spicy peppers infused into the dish to render the dish spicy. He told me that's what they do it now. I also asked about the Lemongrass in the Lemongrass chicken. No lemongrass to be found. The waiter told me it was there inside the dish. I should have brought my magnifying glass. I had eaten the dish before at Saigon Nites and there were shoots of Lemongrass evident in the dish. In addition, in both dishes the meats were overcooked and dry. We made no further comments, ate the food and left. How disappointing that one of our favorite restaurants has died. I truly understand that in this economy that have to cut down on expenses, but cutting down on chicken in the PHO? I can buy chicken for 79cents a pound and I imagine that they can get a better price. Lemongrass is expensive, but if it's that pricey you are better off taking it off the menu that disappointing your clients. I hope that the owners read this review, take heed and make some changes so that some of us who loved the restaurant so much in the past can return.

An example of an negative review: I will never return to this restaurant. I have seen the commercials and decided to try the place out. 1st thing that I noticed was that every plate is 1/2 full with fries and/or fried onions. I love fries and fried onions but when I'm paying around $17-20+ a plate the fries had better come on an extra plate. I felt like the food was mediocre for the expensive price. I decided to return again and ordered the crab cakes, big mistake. The things smelled and tasted rancid, and I'm not using that term figuratively. They exchanged them for some fired shrimp but the damage had been done. Again the prices were way too much for below par food and the amount of plate filler is unacceptable. To top it off both times I was there the place seems to have staff, mainly teenagers, standing around chatting but no one is doing any work. Bad food, high prices and poor service pretty much sums up this gem. If you're in the mood for seafood I would strongly recommend against this place.

An example of an negative review: Zero stars. Overpriced and wretched food. I ordered the $27 seabass and I was served a previously frozen, dried out hockey puck that resembled TV dinner fish. Sent it back and got the $18 canned Campbell's stew...errr I mean....the short ribs stew. Awful. The appetizer was the 'world famous' pretzel fondue which you could order from any TGI Friday's or Chili's for a few bucks less. I'll never go there again. I'm usually not this hostile in my reviews but these guys should be ashamed of themselves for their menu prices..
