We spotted Pho 79 from the street and seeing that the restaurant was crowded, we decided to give it a try. There were four of us and we all ordered Pho with different meats in it. However, we were somewhat turned off by wait staff and soup that was way too oily. Our waiter delivered one of my friends order which came last with his thumb dunked inside the soup. And I must say that tip of his fingernails were black and hands looked very greasy. We were so shocked that we all stopped eating. We didnt know weather to notify the owner and make a big fuss out of it or just accept it and never come back. Had we chosen the former, who is it to say that he wont bring back the same defiled bowl of soup or new soup with malicious mischief. We chose the latter and just left, vowing never to come back. Besides, the soup was way too oily. Ive had so much better and much cleaner Pho here in LA and Orange County. This was by far the most disgusting and unfriendly experience Ive ever had.
Pros: Price
Cons: Food, service, sanitation
