Chao Bay Vietnamese Cuisine

I went to this place bc it was a 4 star review, which was my minimal requirement to go to a restaurant. Very disappointed in the service and disgusted in their food. It wasn’t even that busy but my husband andI waited almost 30 mins for our dishes to be served. They only have 3 total people working there (2cooks,1 server). All workers’ hair were tied up messily, they looked like they just woke up. We only ordered 1 bowl of pho and 1 dry dish. The noodles were not fresh bc they broke off easily when we handled them with chopsticks. The broth flavor was just average. All veggies were partly dead. Upon putting the dry dish on the table, there was a hair in the dish and a hair in the sauce bowl (2 pieces of hair). Told the waitress and she took it away, brought me a new one but I feel sick after eating here. With all this, the sever checked me out even asked me to give them tips too! What an embarrassment, asking for tips when the service sucked. They need to up their dress code, manners, and pretty much everything. Don’t go here until things tidied up. This lunch ruined my whole day.

Nice interior, friendly service, average food. Banh trang tron and chanh day (passion fruit) drink are good. Hu tieu ho nai and bun reu are average.

The staff was very welcoming and attentive, providing quick service. We were pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary ice pops at the conclusion of our meal.

I visited this restaurant for lunch with some friends. We wanted to try the bun rieu because it seemed good in the reviews. It was okay, but nothing remarkable. The restaurant could use a thorough cleaning. There were flies on the tables and sticky utensils left behind. It was unclear if they were clean or not. Fortunately, they provided wrapped disposable chopsticks. I do not plan on returning anytime soon.

I enjoyed a delicious bowl of pork bún bò huế soup at this restaurant. The portions were plentiful and the ingredients were top-notch. It was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday.
