Bach Dang Vietnamese Restaurant

This restaurant offers terrible food and service. I have been dining out for 30 years and have never experienced such bad service. I used to eat here at least twice a week, but now I would recommend avoiding it at all costs if you don't want to ruin your day. The waitstaff is very rude and I will never be returning.

I have dined at Bach Dang several times for special occasions. The food quality was hit-and-miss, with some dishes being better than others. The seafood spring rolls are a popular choice among most diners, and it seems to be a specialty of the restaurant. The seafood dishes such as scallops and fish were flavorful, although the portion sizes were smaller compared to other restaurants. The ambiance of the restaurant is dated and in need of renovation. The atmosphere is lively, with staff rushing around to attend to customers. For non-Asian diners, communication with the staff may be limited as some employees do not speak English very well. If you feel ignored, rest assured that it is unintentional due to language barriers.

This place is the same before nothing changes. that means eating is just as good as I was young. I came when I was 7, now I'm my 7-year-old bribe. bring back many good memories.

The exterior may still resemble a market, but don't be fooled. Yesterday evening, a group of 15 of us went to this restaurant and were seated at 2 large tables combined, based on a previous recommendation from a few of us who had dined there before over the past 8 years. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing this time around. Two of us ordered the seafood combination hot bowl (hotpot) and found it to be bland and unappetizing. The waiter also brought out a dish that no one ordered, placed it on the table without explanation, and quickly left. The timing of the meals was off as well, with the first dish arriving 5 minutes after ordering, and the rest coming at sporadic intervals over the next 50 minutes. One child in our group had to wait almost an hour after everyone else had finished eating before receiving their meal. Additionally, the service was subpar, with mistakes like forgetting to bring a beer that was ordered. The overall rating for service would be about 2.5 out of 5, with even McDonald's possibly providing better service. The food was decent, but not as great as it used to be, and the prices have increased. In comparison to its previous quality, the restaurant would be rated a 3 out of 5. There is a BBQ Vietnamese restaurant located right next door that we have enjoyed in the past and will now choose over Bach Dang. We will not be returning to Bach Dang and cannot recommend it unless major improvements are made. Lastly, the arrogant attitude displayed by the waiter when serving the unrequested dish was disappointing and disrespectful. Perhaps the service would have been better if we were all Vietnamese?

We recommend having the abolone and the Vietnamese traditional fish dishes. Nice staff and great service!
