We had high hopes for the pho because our experience in the restaurant was pretty good. What we received was horrible. It was nothing close to what they serve at the restaurant.
The herbs were “boiled” instead of fresh. The basil was completely brown. It's almost like they realized it was a to-go order and they fished out the cooked basil. There was only two leaves of basil per serving of pho. You can tell they skimped on every single accompaniment because there was less than a teaspoon of chopped up green onions and cilantro for each bowl. They used thick sliced red onions, which ruined the taste of the broth. There was absolutely no lime or bean sprouts to be found. In every pho place I've ever been to, pho is served with fresh basil, saw tooth coriander (or cilantro), WHITE (not red) onions, mung bean sprouts, and lime at a minimum. And those are for the places where you can get a stellar bowl of pho for <$10. The Block charges $16 for a large bowl of theirs and it didn't even come with any of the usual veggies and herbs.
The summer rolls were also horrid. Either the rice wrapper was stale or the thinnest piece of meat (I couldn't even tell what it was) inside was old. There was a measles sprinkle of cilantro inside and a giant pile of iceberg lettuce. It was clearly haphazardly thrown together because all the shrimp, 1.5 pieces of it were piled into one spot. Not laid out evenly in the wrapper. We threw it away because I didn't want to give it to my child just in case it was inedible or one of the ingredients were expired. This was $10+ for 3 rolls.
The only thing that tasted fine were the fried dumplings. I guess it would taste good because nothing in it had to be fresh and is deep fried.
Absolutely not worth $70+ for 2 large bowls of pho, 1 small pho, 3 rolls, and 8 dumplings.

Sub was good and a good size for the price. Fries good and hard. Only thing was the tea was either old or something just tasted bad has to throw it out.

Worst ramen I've ever had. The noodles weren't even ramen noodles, they were spaghetti noodles. The broth was just beef broth. The Beef in the soup was the same beef you would find on a sandwich. The eggs were hard boiled, not the soft boil that's supposed to go in ramen. Would not order from this restaurant again.

WARNING the Block has recently adjusted their servings sizes. I believe that there was a change in ownership but decreasing the serving sizes by 33% is NOT a way to make customers happy. My family absolutely loves this place for the Pho, Ramen and Chicken but we were very dissatisfied with the change in serving size.
