Saigon Bowl - Hillsboro

I am addicted to the coconut summer rolls at this restaurant. I get them once a month. The vegetarian pho, which is vegan, is delicious and enough for 2 meals for me, but it is quite salty, as is typical for pho. They can substitute fresh tofu for the fried tofu to reduce the fat content in the pho. There are other vegan options, including tofu noodles and rice dishes. The pineapple teriyaki dish is also quite good. Additionally, they offer a Thai ice cream made with coconut milk instead of cream.

I ordered the salad rolls at this restaurant. They were large and filling. Unfortunately, I found a rubber band in my salad roll. I informed the waiter and expected to receive a refund, but I was not offered one. Instead, after finishing the meal, the waiter asked if I wanted a refund, but it was too late. I thought this was poor customer service and not a good way to conduct business.

Cheap good pho would be for the regular departure art from night.

We had a great lunch at the restaurant, enjoying salad rolls and vegetarian curry with brown rice. The server kindly informed us that there was no fish sauce in the dishes when we asked.

You won't find a chef at Bambuza. An extraordinary name let down by possibly the most over-simplified, uncreative food I have seen in a long time. After being stared-down by the cooks, my vegetarian soup was about 4 slices of raw tofu in a half gallon container filled to the top with salt water. I was given a side of plain white bean sprouts. Everything immediately went to the trash. A total kitchen nightmare.
