I have been a long time customer of the Vietnam Restaurant when I lived in Philadelphia. The food is great, the restaurant is clean, and service is quick. However, I did not appreciate it when a maitre'd commented on my top in Vietnamese thinking that I would not understand her. Her tone and attitude was rude when she said, ""Look at that little girls shirt"" to the waiters, who all gather between the bar and the registers immediately looked at my shirt. I was almost about to leave, but my guest and I had spent quite a bit of time manuervering through downtown traffic getting there. Not that I want to stop coming there, but when a cockeyed hostess speaks ignorantly about a customer behind their back, it simple makes me lose any appetite I have for the food. Not to mention, I wore nothing risque, as other women there wore things exactly like mines or even more revealing. If a special dress code to wear things that cover you from the top of your necl down in the middle of hot 90 degree weather, then it should be specified clearly or just simply don't seat me.
Pros: good eats at affordable price
Cons: parking is scarce, judgemental hostess who talk behind your back when they think you don't understand them in their native tongue
