Pho Thien Phat 2 in Richmond

I decided I wanted to go out with my sister and she really loves pho. We decided to try this place out and ordered two plates of pho. When our plates arrived a cockroach jumped off the plate and went under the table. We quickly jumped up and I called over our server. I told him about the cockroach and he would not give me a refund but said that he could put me at a different table with different food. I did not want to eat after that experience so I decided to pay and leave. I think it’s very sad that I had to pay for food that I did not eat because of bugs that are in their facility.

Went here and had a cockroach in my food. DO NOT EAT HERE.

Pho Thien Phat 2 Ratings: 4/5 Food: 3.75/5 - First time here with my sister. I got the grilled pork with fried egg roll vermicelli noodles bowl. The grilled pork was so tasty and delicious. It was marinated pretty decently. I like it's a bit sweet, just how you should marinate pork chops and pork belly. I think the sweetness definitely complimented with the fish sauce and the fresh veggies. I wasn't a big fan of the egg rolls though, thought it was overly fried and the meat filling ratio was off and lacking some flavors. My sister got a large beef pho, and I decided to give it a try. The broth was very sweet, so I wasn't a big fan. Noodles were al dente and chewy, and the beef were pretty good quality and tender. The plus is that the sliced braised beef were still red in the broth, and it literally melts in your mouth when you bite it. Lastly, the shrimp and pork spring rolls was good, tasted like every other spring rolls at all Vietnamese restaurant, just that the portion is on the smaller side. Overall, food was good, but not great. Ambiance: 4.25/5 - This place is very aesthetically pleasing, huge and spacious with lots of hanging decorations such as flowers, lanterns, plant...
