The
food
here
would
have
been
much
better
if
they
had
used
some
fresh
basil,
mint,
cilantro,
and
lime
in
the
cooking
(
along
with
some
fish
sauce)
..
Like
they
do
in
Vietnam..
This
is
evidently
a
Czech
take
on
Vietnamese
food
and
I
doubt
a
person
from
Vietnam
would
recognize
these
dishes..The
Pho
breaks
the
rules
by
being
spicy
which
is
probably
fine
because
they
don't
bother
to
use
any
of
the
spices
that
make
Pho
a
wonderful
soup..
This
is
beef
noodle
soup
with
lots
of
chopped
green
onion
and
more
chili
and
a
slice
of
lemon
on
the
side..
Pho
it
is
not.
That
being
said
the
spice
had
me
breaking
into
a
sweat
which
cooled
me
off
a
bit
as
the
place
was
sweltering
as
the
city
was
in
the
grips
of
a
heatwave...
(
we
ate
in
the
garden
which
marginally
cooler
than
inside.).The
tofu
spring
rolls
lack
all
of
the
above
herbs
but
include
some
chopped
lettuce
and
a
soy
dipping
sauce
which
makes
it
all
the
more
dismal
(
certainly
the
traditional
vinegar
based
dipping
sauce
made
with
a
bit
of
rice
vinegar
,
sugar
,
fish
sauce
,
lime
and
chili
would
have
helped
these
bland
fellows)
...The
chicken
curry
was
ok..
but
I
found
it
odd
to
see
the
addition
of
green
beans
and
carrots..
We
took
this
to
go
and
discovered
that
they
had
ignored
our
requests
for
plastic
forks
and
an
extra
paper
plate
when
we
opened
up
the
bag
at
the
hotel....
It
was
hard
to
share
a
soupy
curry
with
chopsticks
out
of
the
same
take
out
box....
While
the
menu
is
in
Czech
the
waitress
kindly
translated
it
for
us..
a
nice
girl
wilting
in
the
heat....All
in
all,
a
strong
MEH...(
response
to
the
response
of
the
owner.:
All
the
good
pho
I
have
eaten
is
usually
cooked
for
many
hours
with
variations
of
star
anise,
cardamon
,
sometimes
a
cinamon
stick
,
whole
cloves
and
some
corriander
seeds
all
wrapped
up
in
cheese
cloth..I
have
never
seen
pho
not
served
without
lime,
basil,
usually
mint
,
bean
sprouts,
cilantro
and
chopped
chili(
which
you
did
have)BTW:
Lime
is
much
better
than
lemon
(
which
you
offer
on
the
side)
when
it
comes
to
Vietnamese
food
I
think.....
Its
nice
to
have
some
Hoison
on
the
table
too
along
with
the
chili
sauce.One
of
my
favorite
pho
places
always
remind
me
NOT
to
add
chilis
until
I
enjoy
the
beautiful
aromatic
broth
which
always
cooks
for
at
least
12
hours..Certainly
your
spring
rolls
would
be
100
times
better
with
fresh
herbs
in
them
but
if
your
customers
dont
like
them
then
I
can
see
why
you
don't
use
them
...I
grow
all
of
them
in
Poland
(
see
photo)and
have
a
huge
crop
now..anyway
thank
you
for
response
and
I
certainly
understand
that
you
must
cater
to
your
regular
customer
base.Regarding
the
lack
of
plastic
forks
with
takw
away
meals,
fine,
but
you
happily
used
a
plastic
box
with
the
curry
to
go
if
indeed
you
are
trying
to
cut
down
on
the
use
of
plastics..
It
would
have
been
a
kindly
consideration
to
the
customer
who
requests
extra
forks
or
spoons
(
not
to
mention
a
paper
plate)
with
which
to
eat
take
away
food
that
these
are
not
provided....Anyway:
Good
luck
and
stay
well.
