The Good:
:: service was friendly. once the woman discovered i was Vietnamese, she was quite chatty with me and asked me questions about my travels and background
:: place was quite clean
:: nice interior (check out the ceiling)
:: location: it's quite close to the train station
:: lots of offerings on the menu
:: spring rolls were quite tasty
:: pho broth was clear and not oily
The Bad:
:: pho was served a little bit differently than i'm used to. the meat was minced with a lot of small chopped pieces of ginger in it. i'm always a fan of new things/interpretations on things but this was a bit unusual. additionally they also didn't have the normal fixins that come with pho. eg, they provided lemon wedges instead of lime wedges and they were missing some key herbs. the broth, while quality, was a little bit bland for me. however they didn't have the hoisin sauce nor sriracha/hot sauce to add to the pho. they tried to offer me up some chili oil that is normally used for dipping but i declined.
:: service could be a bit slow
The Ugly:
:: none
Would I go back? Sure--if I'm feeling like some Vietnamese when I'm by the train station next time I am ever in Tours, I'll hit this place up.
This place is IN (but not 100% emphatically). -

My family went here and we received the worst customer service in history. The lady that was taking our order gave us witty comments and half of the dishes we wanted they didn't have. Very rude, made racist comments and will not recommend to anyone who wants a taste of Vietnamese food.
Note- if you're Vietnamese or Asian expect bad service. To top it off, their menu is just for show and if you order certain items that only a Vietnamese would order they will not have it.
It's very sad that I have to write a negative review about my own culture.
We ended up leaving.
