I came in around 18:00 and ordered some juice, the fried bananas with ice cream, a couple of summer…read morerolls, and the large Pho Hanoi. I asked for the fried bananas to come out first because I was hungry. It came out last, after everything else.
The portion size for the large Pho Hanoi was disappointing given the steep price. It tasted okay. The accompanying herbs and bean sprouts were seriously lacking for my preference.
At around 18:15, I went to pay for an online order which my husband had put through because the only option for online orders is to pay at the restaurant. The waitress offered to give me his takeaway order after processing the payment, but I told her I was still eating and would get it on my way out.
I was still finishing up my meal when another waiter rudely plopped the bag onto my table and proclaimed that it was mine. The reason I had not wanted the takeaway order immediately was that my husband had ordered the fried bananas with ice cream and I was concerned that the ice cream would melt.
Apparently that was not an issue because when you do takeaway the fried bananas with ice cream is ONLY two sad pieces of fried bananas. Was there a discount for the lack of ice cream, fruit, or wafer you get with the dish if you dine-in? Nope, they charged us the full price while failing to deliver half the dish! The menu item literally has the word ice cream in it so I felt really cheated. We got two pieces of half a banana, so basically one banana for €6.90! At least be honest about it and give me a heads up.
Another fail was that they did not provide any fish sauce or sauce period for his lemongrass chicken vermicelli dish or his green mango salad. What is Vietnamese food without fish sauce?!? The lemongrass chicken was also very dry.
If you choose to order takeaway, please learn from my oversight and be sure to check your order in the restaurant.
Personally, I will never come back. If this is the best pho in Munich (like one of the reviewers said) then I would not suggest getting pho in Munich.
