1/5 Nini Y. 2 years ago on Google
My
husband
and
I
stopped
here
after
reading
over
Pho
Cuong’s
great
reviews
and
seeing
what
a
large
social
media
hype
the
restaurant
had,
but
we
were
both
extremely
disappointed.
Service,
food,
and
cleanliness
all
received
failing
scores.
The
“about”
section
of
this
eatery
on
Google
is
described
as
a
“No-frills”
eatery
and
that’s
the
literal
definition
of
the
place.
No
social
distancing
measures
are
in
place.
We
were
seated
about
3
1/2
feet
away
from
the
family
next
to
me
(there
was
about
two
feet
of
space
from
the
edge
of
our
table
to
the
next).
Not
cool.
All
four
workers,
we
noticed
during
our
time
there,
were
not
masked.
Also
not
cool.
I
sat
as
my
husband
proceeded
to
the
counter
to
place
our
order.
I
should
have
listened
to
my
gut
instinct
as
soon
as
I
overheard
the
cashier
guy
give
a
little
attitude
towards
my
husband
when
my
husband
forgot
to
mention
the
letter
prior
to
the
meal
item
number.
It
was
a
little
comment,
but
it
was
snarky
and
uncalled
for.
My
experience
was
then
followed
by
a
dirty
women’s
restroom
(sticky
floors
and
a
baby
roach
that
I
was
kind
enough
to
step
on,
but
not
kind
enough
to
wipe
up
and
throw
away..
so
yes,
I
did
leave
that
little
fellow
on
the
floor
for
the
next
person
to
see).
After
coming
out
of
the
restroom
I
found
myself
staring
at
a
pathetic
platter
of
pho
veggie
garnish
toppings.
The
bean
sprouts
were
browning,
the
lime
slices
were
probably
more
than
two
or
three
days
old
as
the
browning
of
the
lime
skin
was
not
sporadic
but
were
along
the
edges
of
the
slices,
dry
jalapeno
slices,
and
spotty
molded
Thai
Basil
leaves.
The
pho
broth
was
fine
as
far
as
temperature
goes,
but
it
lacked
flavor
and
salt.
Our
meat
portions
were
skim,
but
we
found
ourselves
even
more
disappointed
at
the
amount
of
noodles
considered
to
be
labeled
as
a
“large”.
Cuong’s
large
pho
bowl
is
equivalent
to
most
other
place’s
small,
so
items
here
are
way
overpriced.
For
those
who
haven’t
visited
this
place,
I’d
say
spend
your
$20
elsewhere.
For
those
of
who
have
visited
this
place,
and
think
the
pho
is
good,
I’d
say
keep
venturing
out
to
find
a
better
pho
place.
Don’t
just
believe
their
pho
is
good
because
some
other
reviewer
said
so,
because
some
newspaper
wrote
it
so,
or
some
social
media
or
famous
person
has
biased-ly
misled
you.
My
husband
I
have
both
tired
at
least
30
or
more
Pho
restaurants
(
mostly
in
the
Midwest
and
East
Coast)
and
Pho
Cuong
would
probably
be
pretty
close
to
being
tied
with
our
least
favorite
place
we’ve
had.
Unfortunately
we
aren’t
from
Oklahoma
so
we
aren’t
able
to
assist
with
any
recommendations.
Some
noble
advice:
1).
Clean
your
restrooms
and
periodically
check
on
them
to
make
sure
they’re
sanitized
2).
Control
your
pest
issue
3).
Retrain
your
cashier
(
Asian
male
mid
30s,
maybe)
some
proper
manners
and
customer
service
4).
Add
more
meat
and
noodles
or
redo
your
pricing
5).
Don’t
assign
seats
to
your
customers.
If
you
don’t
have
actual
waiters,
it
doesn’t
make
sense
that
customers
can’t
seat
themselves
and
sit
further
away
from
other
occupied
tables
6).
Don’t
prep
your
veggies
and
garnishments
so
many
days
in
advance,
prepare
them
fresh.
It
shows
a
lot
about
a
restaurant
if
they’re
willing
to
push
out
some
old
cheap
veggies.
It’s
really
just
embarrassing.
7).
Workers
should
strongly
consider
wearing
masks
