U Bar & Restaurant

“Came here for the first time on Halloween with my son. The space is large and open with the seating nicely spaced. The bathrooms are clean and nice also. The Pho was very good. The broth was not as rich as I had previously but still very good. The size of the bowl relative the price is very good. There was a lot of soup and noodles. My son loved the friend spring rolls and would have ate them all, if allowed. They were crispy and flavorful. I had an iced coffee which came exactly how I expected- rich and creamy and not too sweet. I really like d how they automatically bring you hot tea. I always order tea so this was a nice surprise. The staff was friendly and kind. The service was quick and I would definitely return.”

“Our family's favorite restaurant. In my opinion, the pho soup here is the best. Look for items #3 and #13 on the menu -- those are our favorite soups. Even after moving away from this neighborhood, we still make time to come back and enjoy the food here. I especially want to highlight the excellent service. We miss you guys ”

“This used to be a good place with good service and tasty food. Unfortunately, the last two visits were disappointing. First, the positives: The staff greets guests politely. The restaurant is clean -- the tables and floors look well maintained. Portion sizes are good. Now the negatives: After our food was served, the waiter put his phone on the counter with his back to us, started a video call, and began talking very loudly. He was laughing and speaking Spanish. A manager (I assume) came out and joined the conversation, and then a third person, who looked like a cook wearing an apron, joined as well. While we were eating, they were walking freely around the front area of the restaurant, laughing loudly, chatting with the person on the video call, patting each other on the back, squatting, and clearly enjoying themselves. It felt like we were not in a restaurant, but at a Mexican party or maybe at a train station. They completely occupied the space, while we were eating quietly so as not to disturb them. This was not a one-time experience. Either the staff talks loudly to each other, shouts, and behaves overly casual, or they stand at the counter with their backs to the guests, scrolling on their phones and not paying attention to anything else. Most likely, we will not be coming back. It's a shame, because we really liked this place before -- the food was good and we used to visit often.”
