Went here because of the high rating. We have no idea why it is rated as highly as it is. We have been to many, many Vietnamese restaurants and this is quite average. There were no paper towels in the Men’s and I told our server that. When we left 50 minutes later – still no towels. Big portions, but the food lacks the elegance and flavors of the best Vietnamese places. The service was desultory and we had to go up to the counter and wait until someone showed up so we could pay and get someone to pack up our leftovers. There are many better places including Tien Tuyen, Doans and Saigon Cuisine, all of which have far better food and service.
The only problem I have with this place is that when I eat here I always order the same thing (pork with the wok fried eggs and mango salad) because it’s fantastic but I want to try everything else too! So many good choices!
With a name like Brooklyn Tomato, one of the last things you’d expect that they sell is Viet food! A friend and I went on a Monday evening after a recommendation from a fellow south sider. It’s located in the corner near Tasty Choice and Coco’s, regardless of what Google Maps says (it put me on Calgary Trail on the opposite side of the strip mall). My friend decided to make a reservation so we wouldn’t have to wait, but when we got to the restaurant it was EMPTY. Like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Awkwarddd. Pretty cool though, our own table in an empty restaurant.We asked for his recommendation and my friend got their pork chop while I got their six coloured don with tons of food in it (chicken, beef, shrimp, pork, etc). My friend also got Coconut rice with it. The coconut rice was decent. The fragrance was there, but it definitely wasn’t the strongest that I’ve ever had which left me expecting more. My don…had a lot of food. I didn’t notice too much vermicelli that came with it, but geez I swear more than half of it was food. Which is a great thing. I couldn’t finish it and got it to go. Food was good, no complaints there. Solid but nothing special.Service started out well, but towards the end it significantly deteriorated to being neglected entirely. We had to ask the guy to come over and help us with stuff which isn’t a big deal but we were waiting for a while for him to come. Food was a bit on the pricier side ($16 for that don) but regardless with the quantity given it was fair. It’s not a bad place to go, but I feel it’s missing something to be outstanding, and I don’t know what that is. I also hope that the service thing doesn’t happen on a regular basis. All in all, recommended.
We ordered delivery from Brooklyn Tomato recently using Skip The Dishes. The food was very good but the delivery left a lot to be desired. In particular, the estimated delivery time was 36-56 minutes (already not great) but took at least 75 minutes. I don’t think it was the fault of the delivery person who delivered the food because it seems he was added to the delivery after the previous delivery person dropped out. The food we ordered was very good, despite the delay. Dishes were appropriately spiced based on our preferences. I just wish the delivery had been better.
Spring rolls were really fresh and good, the pho was a bit whitewashed broth wise not much complexity. No options to add brisket flank or tripe to the soups just basic things large menu of alternative options however. Clean restaurant and bathrooms, good service as well.
Great food and friendly service. The restraint was nice and clean and fairly busy during the afternoon. The food was super fresh and the price was good. Portions were pretty big for the price.
Came here strictly for the Sate soup. The cost was $12.00 which is a little high in comparison to other restaurants, but it was very good. I thought the broth could a have been a little thicker for my liking. Ive seen larger bowls also. But like I said, it was very good.If Im in the area, I will come back to try other dishes on the menu.
