Looking for a wholesome meal we took a chance on a recommendation. Her Vietnamese background makes her a tough critic but her adventurousness means we keep trying. The House of Ho had a steep hill to climb with it’s name, but the walk was a perfect distance and we gave it a try.
Top to bottom:
Crispy Vietnamese Rolls
Pork Belly BBQ Ho Sin
Lemongrass Chicken
Beef PHO
The PHO broth lacked any depth or spices and the brisket(?!) tasted like it had been boiled to make the broth and had no flavor. Neither of us had ever had a “Crispy Vietnamese Roll” like this and that’s not a good thing. And, the chicken was boring and uninspired. This leaves the pork belly and, while the bun was different than I would have expected, this was the highlight of a very dim meal. The clear accent of the lady of the house gave us hope that this would be great Vietnamese. The result wasn’t.
Not again - 3/10
