Viet Nam Palace

Never had Vietnamese food before and I have to say it turned out nicer than we thought. Took my mom out to lunch and we saw this place at the mall. When you first walk in it looks a bit dark and gloomy but it wasn’t bad. The food was good. My mom got the pork fried rice and I got the porkchop house special, bone in. We got some wings and spring rolls and fried duplings. The dumplings were good but not that satisfying. All in all it we had a nice time.

Atmosphere is comfy, very clean. Pho was a 6 out of 10, to my taste it have too many onions and started tasting like onion soup, and the pieces of brisket and flank steak were not cut small enough to fit in one bite. The B3 Noodles with pork was presented well, the pork tasted 10/10 but the noodles or lettuce tasted off, mightve also been the sauce provided. Definitely room for improvement. Boba milk teas were too sweet/creamy. Definitely not in my top 3 Pho places due to lack good flavor in dishes.

I got the spring rolls, house special noodle soup and the avocado milk tea smoothie with boba. Any time I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, that’s my go to. This was my first time trying this restaurant and unfortunately, I didn’t meet my expectations. The broth was not savory, the hoisin and sriracha couldn’t help it. The meat was sliced so long, it was hard to chew at certain points. The noodles were all clumped together. There was no line, bean sprouts, only a lot of cabbage and some basil. The spring rolls at first were great until I reached soggy lettuce and I didn’t taste great. The peanut sauce was chalky. The avocado smoothie had a great taste, but the boba was not.
