Asian One Noodle Soup & Grill

I use Unilocal every once in a while, to find a place to eat. So this had a rating of 4 stars so I decided to try it. It should have a rating of 1 star. My reasons: #1, they have slow service,
; #2, The food is bland, I had the Phở Dac Biet the soup was greasy, it supposed to come with beef balls, tripe, tendon and rare sliced beef. All I got was a lot of rare beef, half a meat ball, one tendon and one little, itsy bitsy, strip of tripe that I hunted for. The Phở has no flavor. I am from Colorado and if this place came to Denver it would not last a week.

I was so looking forward to eating a noodle bowl, but, its started out by us standing under the «order here» sign and being ignored for a few minutes (it was just us two, other customers around), then we finally get waved over to order on the other side under the «pick up here sign»; this would confuse any patron! Very slow service. Then, I wanted a grilled shrimp rice noodle bowl, but they would only put shrimp in Phở, so I settled for chicken — not flexible on simole special requests, you have to order what’s on the menu. Our hot tea was given to us with loose tea leaves and no strainer, I could not drink without tea leaves and sticks getting sucked up with every sip — who does that! Sip, spit, sip, spit…
I ordered the Bun GA Nuong, I didn’t like the taste of the chicken, so I ate only the noodles which you really can’t go wrong.
I’m from Denver and this place wouldn’t be able to compete with the Vietnamese restaurants there. This is my first 2 star rating, I am not a very picky eater and very optimistic with my ratings but, this time around, I was very disappointed.

Asian One is new located inside the new 99 Ranch Market on Maryland, near the Boulevard Mall. They make a great banh mi as well as a delicious phở. Prices couldn’t be better at $ 3.95 for sandwiches and $ 6.50 for soups. Employees are always smiling and friendly.

I don’t know why my review got filtered but here’s the rest of it. The place is super cheap. A Phở Nam costs $ 6.50. Most their com dishes are $ 6.50 too. But they’re skimpy with the meat. There’s lots of noodles and broth. The taste is just ok. I like their fresh spring rolls.

Woohoo FTR! Super cheap phở. Lots of basic Vietnamese dishes and drinks. Will update later.
