Pho Maxia has gone down hill and probably because the restaurant has been sold to a new owner who has no clue what Vietnamese food is all about. I can almost guarantee the current owner is not Vietnamese. The basic garnishment for all items are none existent (basil/hoisin sauce for pho, cilantro/cucumber for Vietnamese banh mi/sandwich). I mean come on it's the staple of Vietnamese food for God sake. The chicken curry is water down diluted and salty as hell. The Vietnamese banh mi/sandwich was also salty as hell with missing cilantro and cucumber. The shrimp summer roll peanut sauce was disgusting no where close to 99% of the Vietnamese restaurants that is out there. I am Vietnamese born and...
So this place is take out only and it is definitely not authentic Vietnamese food at all! We got the summer rolls, special pho, and curry chicken rice noodles and we did not enjoy any of these items. Special pho came with beef balls and chunks of beef; the rice noodles were all sticked together on the side. Curry chicken noodles had chicken, potatoes, and rice noodles in a coconut based soup. The broth tasted ok but the potatoes and chicken were so dry and overcooked. Summer rolls came with a side of peanut sauce which tasted a little off to me. Overall, its not an authentic vietnamese place if you’re looking for one.
We stopped in here for pho and my daughter got ramen. The prices cannot be beat, the lady who served us was very sweet and attentive, and everything was absolutely delicious! She said they make their own broth here too! My daughter also got the Yakult drink with strawberry boba and it was very refreshing and tasty. Loved this place to eat at during the week, surprisingly we were the only ones there but it was 8:00 PM. Definitely recommend, tasted amazing!
Says Vietnamese restaurant but no one that works there is Vietnamese or speaks Vietnamese and they couldn't understand my English. So it's not really Vietnamese food?? I read off what was on their menu to them and they sounded confused and just hung up on me.
