Chao Bay Vietnamese Cuisine

Staff was great, food was yummy. Also tried a few other things but I forgot to take pictures. Their pho broth was more flavorful than other places, a strong cinnamon/star anise flavor. Rice plates were simple but I liked the addition of a fried egg at no extra cost. Give them a try!

Enjoyed the egg roll appetizer Pho. Both were very good. Pricing was fair as well. Might not be the best pho you've ever had, but it's worth a taste.

Please read and be warned. NEGATIVE 1 STAR, since I can 't give zero. I was looking for a Pho restaurant that was not crowded and drove by Chao Bay. I recall a coworker telling me, two years ago, this place had good food. My daughter and I were the only customers. The lady who served the food was rude and very impatient. I had a few questions about the size and type of Pho and she quickly said, one size, you share so I said ok. We got one bowl of pho and shared. The broth was a little sour like tomato soup, meat was stale and tough, beef bone was tough and tasted old. I didn 't complain and silently told myself I will never return to this place. Upon paying, the lady tells me $12 cash only. I told her I only have $7 cash and wanted to pay with my debit card. I asked her why she didn 't let me know that is was cash only and she ignored me. She said no because she didn 't know how to use the register and that the manager is out shopping. I told her to call her boss and she kept making excuses and did not call her boss. I told her they have bad business and rummaged up extra change in my purse along with $7 I originally had and paid. I feel sick from the experience and the food. Good luck to you if you do go and I hope your experience will be much better than mine.

I knew it was a bad sign when the was empty when we walked in at around 1:30 pm, but we felt bad leaving. The waitress seemed like she didn't want to be there. The food was nothing to write home about. The owner was disorganized and not proficient with using technology to take payments. We came here because of the 4 star reviews but we were misled.

I went to this place bc it was a 4 star review, which was my minimal requirement to go to a restaurant. Very disappointed in the service and disgusted in their food. It wasn’t even that busy but my husband and I waited almost 30 mins for our dishes to be served. They only have 3 total people working there (2cooks,1 server). All workers’ hair were tied up messily, they looked like they just woke up. We only ordered 1 bowl of pho and 1 dry dish. The noodles were not fresh bc they broke off easily when we handled them with chopsticks. The broth flavor was just average. All veggies were partly dead. Upon putting the dry dish on the table, there was a hair in the dish and a hair in the sauce bowl (2 pieces of hair). Told the waitress and she took it away, brought me a new one but I feel sick after eating here. With all this, the sever checked me out even asked me to give them tips too! What an embarrassment, asking for tips when the service sucked. They need to up their dress code, manners, and pretty much everything. Don’t go here until things tidied up. This lunch ruined my whole day.
