Le Family - Taguig

I stopped by for a bowl of pho, one of my favorite soups. I'm not sure who owns this restaurant, where the chef is from, or if they looked up the recipe online, but the pho tastes like it was made based on pictures or descriptions. It would have been better if they had actually visited Vietnam to understand how authentic pho should taste. Alternatively, they could have gone to Pho Hoa outlet at BGC Stopover, which is less than a kilometer away, to experience the difference. I frequent SM Aura and have tried many of the food establishments there. While many deserve a spot in this upscale mall, unless Le Family improves their offerings, this space could be better utilized by a different restaurant.

This restaurant is both affordable and spacious, making it easy to secure a table and enjoy good service. However, the food quality is lacking and the cleanliness is questionable. We have visited twice and encountered issues both times, such as finding a worm in our salad and a fly in our pho. While the flavors are decent and the pork dish is well-prepared, it falls short of being outstanding. Due to these experiences, we likely will not be returning in the near future.

This restaurant is consistently empty. The staff is friendly, but that's not the reason why customers don't come. The first time we visited, there was a bug in our salad. The second time, there was a bug in our soup. The flavors were average. They did give us a complimentary meal, which is uncommon in the Philippines, but cleanliness is important to me when it comes to the food I eat. We most likely won't return to this place for a long time. The spring rolls are tasty and the pho is decent, but the presence of bugs overshadows the good food.

It was the first time I brought my family to a Vietnamese restaurant and they loved it. It was the kind of meal where everything was wiped out. We ordered baby back ribs, steamed chicken, pork belly, special noodle soup, and chicken wings. The ribs and chicken wings were lip smacking. I also appreciated that the dishes were garnished full of vegetables. I ate the vegetables instead of rice. Best of all, the prices ranged from P200 to P300. The chicken wings is a winner at P178.

We had lunch here whilst visit for work and the food is quite nice, very fresh and came out quick. Portion sizes are ok for lunch but would expect more for dinner if I was to dine here. The place wasn’t very busy (only two other tables) but the service was very good
