Place was pretty empty when I stopped by for dinner, and there were 4 girls running front of house (none of them would have been old enough to serve a beer). Â Not even seated when my server ask what I want, I ask for a couple of minutes as it is my first time in - the girl disappears for 15.
When she does come back I ask if the red names mean spicy? Yes
Ok, I'll try one of those. Â It should be obvious that I did not know this place, even if I didn't tell her flat out! Â The next time I see her she has both the entre and soup, no time to eat the soup? Â The chicken entre was bland and very rubbery. Â The waitress never checked in to see how things were, and I sat there for 30 minutes with my napkin on the plate waiting for the check.
When she did come out from the back, I asked about that being one of the spiciest dishes and get "well it can be one of them. Â We do our spice on a 1 to 5 scale, and you didn't ask for any"
No service, nasty food = never again
Excellent Vietnamese food! Â We went for dinner and ordered the HU-DAT Special called the "Hunan Combo" with lots of veggies, beef, chicken, and shrimp floating in a delicious sauce. Â Soup was included so I started with Hot & Sour Soup; hubby had the egg drop soup - both great. Â We ordered Vietnamese Egg Rolls on the side which were hot and crispy - just the way we like them.
They do lots of take out business for those who want to pick up lunch or dinner on the fly. Â We'll definitely be back A LOT!
We've eaten at Hu Dat in Rockport many times and decided to try the one in Portland, it's excellent too. Â My wife and I each ordered a bowl of Mi Thap Cam, egg noodle soup with chicken, pork, and shrimp...the bowls were just a little smaller than a number 2 washtub...great taste and very filling. Â We shared an order of 3 fried Vietnamese pork egg rolls...very good, we'll definitely return for more of these.
