Vietnamese Café - Newark

Ugh. That poor place is awful. Trying to stay local with takeout and we only can afford to do that once in a while what a disappointment. Tried to do something different and what a mistake. Server blamed ME for not being able to find them (address and location are incorrect on their website, as well as the restaurant name). If the man would have at least been polite and just a tiny bit apologetic instead of rude, I MAYBE would have given them a second chance. A few words can make big difference. THEN the food was inedible. Short ribs?? No way they were short ribs. Maybe it was a bad night, but best wishes for all…

Horrible. Food tasted completely horrible. The business is not called Thai BBQ when you try to go find it, it’s called Pho ever, so my husband spent 15 minutes wandering around looking for the restaurant. The owner did not care at all. The beef short ribs were tiny pieces of bony gristle. Do not waste your money like we did.

Complete ripoff! I had the BBQ short ribs. I paid $15.50 for a dish of rice. There were a few ribs which were mainly bones and the meat was tough. No sauce to speak off. Nothing Thai about it. The flavor was not good and had zero spiciness when one of the main characteristic of Thai food is how spicy it is. I also had the $9.95 Thai Fried Chicken Muchie. It was mostly small breaded balls with very little chicken and no flavor. It came with a small dish of some sauce. Again, nothing Thai in that dish.

My son and I stopped in for a bite. The owner was friendly, attentive and helpful. My son got a bonmi on a fresh, crispy baguette and I had grilled chicken pho. Big piece of grilled chicken, hot and delicious pho chicken broth. Although the atmosphere is small and geared for take-out it was noticeably clean, even the bathroom was spotless. I would definitely go back.
