Restaurants Back to So Ba
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 5:38 PM
I often write about how a restaurant can seemingly change overnight. I'm sorry to say that a fourth follow-up visit to So Ba last night produced a couple of major disappointments.
The salt-and-pepper tofu, for example, tasted good enough but some of it was a bit of a mess. Half the cubes of tofu were cracked open and falling apart. A trio of cha gio with pork were overcooked and their filling a bit gamy. (And they're way too tiny for a $5 charge.) Our entrees, including pho and a rice dish, were good, however. So was the service.
I'll certainly continue dining here, but Monday night's meal was enough of a deviation to warrant a warning.

So a couple of your apps were a bit off, one actually tasting less than your established ideal, and that warrants 'Warning! Warning!' and the talk about the place totally changing it's colors overnight? Just sounded like a strong reaction in light of the stated anomolies. I will say that the rolls are really small diameter, I bet they are easy to overcook - the ones I ordered were fine but I'll be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS with my future orders.
