Growing up, I was taught never to waste food. This lesson was further instilled upon me during my limited experience as a prep-monkey at a fairly well regarded Italian restaurant (my first real job would involve food, natch). In fact, i'd get screamed at by the day Manager if so much of an onion petal was accidentally discarded, a mushroom mis-fluted or a carrot carelessly brunoised.
Against my extincts, I threw away most of lunch from V 33. A repulsive summer roll to start – the skin had been unskillfully triple wrapped, giving it the texture of a latex contraceptive. The flaccid summer rolls went into the bin.
The pho managed to be excruciatingly salty and simultaneously under flavored. Absent were the earthy, bitter and aromatic undertones that make a good pho broth. This broth tasted simply of salty hatred. A few gristly pieces of beef made an appearance, but didn't do much to improve the situation. The remaining pho was left untouched (I would recommend spitting out the last salty mouthful, instead of swallowing).
I was really craving a Vietnamese grilled pork chop on jasmine rice and luckily I was able to order from V33 and pick it up close to my workplace. Yes, I am still not adjusting to delivery and like to take a quick stroll to pick up food for lunch. The portion was very large for $6.50. The only drawback being that there was no hoisen sauce, but that is totally my fault. The pork chops were plentiful and tender, with grill marks and delicious rice.
If you dine in, your meal includes a salad as well. They also have a lame Chinese food takeout bar where you can purchase a Styrofoam box full of buffet bar food for only $4.50. Which is how they get most of the foot traffic. There are a couple other Chinese restaurants serving Vietnamese dishes in the area, so I will give those a try and then possibly come back here if I have no luck.
