Eurasia Cafe

So, I might live in Hartford, Alabama, but I have definitely lived life and this recent transplant has had some of the best Phở in the world straight off the streets of Hanoi. That said, I won’t even compare this place to that, but I for reference I will use my more recent experiences living in Atlanta.
My wife and I used to frequent a number of places on Buford Highway and also Duluth where, even though our favourite Vietnamese place relocated an additional 20 minute drive from our home, we still managed to eat Vietnamese at least once a week. This is my way of saying I know what good Phở is and EURASIA CAFE isn’t it.
Let’s start with their service — it is awful. Slow, no joy in the work, and completely without any personality.
Now we move on to the TERRIBLE food. The Phở, while not being so bad as dish water, was not tons better than that. It lacked the beefy flavour and bright tone that REAL Phở always has. The side of fragrant and savoury vegetables was limp and lifeless — and lacking. I mean come on, one of the joys of Phở is adding all the veggies — the bean sprouts, the culantro (no, not CILANTRO), the basil, and the Jalapeños or Chiles. The noodles were good and well cooked, but come on this is rice noodles we are talking about here, you would have to boil them for an hour to ruin them.
Our spring rolls (or goi cuon) were HORRID.
I am giving this place a star, but they really need to just go out of business. So Dothan isn’t the center of the universe but it deserves better.
I hate that this was my first review on Unilocal and it had to be this way, but that is the way the
