  • another new angle at exploiting tourists-0 stars!

this place is a joke. i stumbled on some web page of theirs. it was saying how mistreated westerners are and how tourism makes vietnamese greedy and a bunch of other stuff mistreated/eco tourist want to hear. i thought it sounded good so i read all of it. then came to see they do rentals of sporting gear and such. the prices were astronomical. this was the first flag to show me this place was just another scam to take westerners cash. finally i went by the rstrnt to see what it was. the menu was 3-4 times more expensive than it should have been for nam. especially for ppl that "care" so much. pho was 60,000(3usd). the best ive had in hoi an is 15,000 and arrives at table in less than 2 minutes(thats universally normal time if anyone didnt know). i figured id try it. there must be something to the great reviews huh? no! while waiting the local passers by looked at me in a different way than other places ive been. like i was a BIG sucker. anyway. almost 15 minutes later the most boring pho ive had in nam arrives. like no flavor boring. btw, 2 months in this country and thats basically what ive been doing-seeking good vietnamese vegan food(mainly pho). and ive been making pho back in the states for decades. i know it had no flav. so i politely ate it and quickly payed. and still they wanted more. she pulled the; i have 2 20s but im gonna give you 1 20 and 2 10s as change so you can tip me. hell no i dont tip on crappy overpriced scam food. not sorry. the toilet is an out house. totally fine. but nowhere to was hands... even the nastiest dirtiest crap-hole eating places ive been have a sink and soap. all of this overpricing and crap pho would be fine IF they didnt play tourists for suckers. even the no sink thing. maybe i just didnt see it? this was the worst combo so far of bad food and being raked over the coals. anyone who has spent a little time in vietnam has been fed uPp with all the pushy scammers and being taken advantage of. when i first read these peoples page, it was almost a breath of fresh air. they could have had something if they werent so blatantly fakers. THIS IS ALL JUST MY OPINION. the web site caught my eye and i felt i compelled to see if there was any merit to their ideas presented on the blog thing. i was very disappointed to find this place, IN MY OPINION, to be yet another generic ploy to take more money off veggie eaters. i see this a lot and this place really does it hard. in my opinion. opinion is what a review is right?
