Phở 18

"I do not like leaving negative reviews but I feel that if I had more knowledge of this place, we would have chosen another place. I am not sure how we endured a whole meal there. We must have been very hungry. After a long day at 6 Flags, we were tired and starving. My husband was craving Vietnamese food - as usual. We tried a different restaurant first but it was closed so we ended up here mainly because it was one of the very few places open. There were 3 occupied tables - a table that were doing karaoke and 2 other couples. I think the karaoke table were owners/friends because everyone who waited on us sat at that table to sing. The first thing I noticed - aside from the deafening music - was a strange sewer odor. Thank goodness the water they brought us was bottled water. They came to get our order and we had to point to the menu because there was no way to hear anyone speak. The food took an extremely long time to come out. We had 4 bowls of beef pho and 1 bowl of hu Tieu tôm mực. One bowl of tge pho - the noodles were severely undercooked and crunchy still. Another bowl was so overcooked that my son said it disintegrated in his mouth. They came out at different times and the disintegrating bowl was the last of the pho to come out. The 4 of them were more than halfway done with their bowls of pho before my bowl of Hu Tieu came out. It had flavor but not quite the right flavor.. The shrimp was too soft, the squid was too tough and both tasted old and slightly freezer burnt. We couldn’t talk to each other during the meal because of the loud music. It never stopped - as soon as one song ended, another began. It was literally louder than many concerts I’ve been to. I have a headache now from the loud music and I have barely gotten my hearing back. In addition, the food wasn’t very good so I am still hungry. The one star was given for the fact that they were still open at 9pm and that everyone that served us was nice."

"We had a small party yesterday at Phở 18 aka Club 18. The food was good. It was fun and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality of the owner. There is Oneman Band for everyone wants to sing. And there is also a small dance floor for people."

"I was denied service at 10:15pm while it clearly shows a 2:00 m closing. There were plenty of empty tables"

"Came here for a private party. The food was alright definitely underseasoned but Karaoke was fun. Also a bunch of local singers and 1 very famous singer came out tonight."

"Very clean, peaceful environment, helpful and friendly staff. The food is very fresh and they are willing to accommodate any request or answer any question that you might have. The 4 stars is due to the language barrier that leaves you wondering if they really understood you until they bring your order. :-) In my case, I was able to breath on easy when my meal arrived!!"
