Pho 777 Vietnamese Cuisine - Conover

My favorite Yelper's profile said that her favorite food was shrimp jump rolls with peanut sauce. I really appreciate her opinion. I can't remember having an early roll. I may have, but I don't remember. I'm usually a crispy pork type. since I had no lunch, I decided to search yelp for jump rolls. the highly rated pho 777 came high. the restaurant with a view of a map was about ten or twelve minutes drive from home with mostly intergovernmental. I've never been to this restaurant so I could kill two proverbial birds with a stone. my garmin was anything but useless, but I remember the general location of the restaurant on the yelp map. there is a main crossing in conover, where you turn in the rule in direction newton, and where the divided four track ends. turn left at the stop light. the restaurant is located in a strip-mall next to the autobahn and very easy to find. there are a lot of parking places (and one atm . I came during the lunch hour. there were several diners, mostly Asian. I always consider it a good sign when people of different ethnic origin visit the restaurant that represents their country or territory. These people generally know more about the cuisine of their region that I do, so when they eat there, I think the place must be pretty good. that's not racism, it's just healthy. this logik is a variation: if in france to lunch where you see truck parking. the French truckers know where the best food is worth the best and if they judge the BBQ restaurants in the southern Usa, they go where the police cruisers of the state opera are gathered. neither a tipp will control them wrong! I was immediately greeted by a smiling server that asked him, I wanted to dip or when I picked up takeout. (the restaurant apparently takes as much as dine in. I told her I wanted to take a call job. she had an order box and menu in the hand so that my order was taken immediately. she said that she prepared my order freshly and ready in five minutes. I put myself out of this. She didn't lie! after five minutes, I had hardly any good when the waitress came to register with my order. I like that she smiled before, during and after the order. she treated me with ease, courtesy and respect, which I very much appreciated. I noticed that there were many waiters, so I must imagine that the service here must be excellent. I thought the jump rolls could be small and not very fillable, so I ordered six. I could also make the trip worth it, right? the shrimp jump rolls were delicious! everything was fresh. the jump rolls were about the size I guessed, so I doubted if they would fill me. I was fed in the ground after three jump rolls, but they were so delicious that I ate all six. the peanut towel sauce was amazing! it was full of chopped fruits and my quality was excellent. it was good enough to drink, and since I was home, and nobody saw. I have to admit that I'm just did. I smuggled all three container, even after the jump rolls were gone, and I would do it again. This peanut sauce tastes like the topping for nutty buddy ice cone from the 60s only better. Translation: it would be super delicious if you sleep over a bowl vanilleeis. first I thought that $14.45 was a bit steep, but since that was delicious and it filled me, I didn't complain. everything costs more with the current inflation. (last Saturday I lifted my prius' gas tank 2010 and bought six gallons of 93 octane ethanol free for my rust equipment. the price was over $50. today's inflation prices are shocking for an old guy like me. I can easily remember when benzin was 29 cent per gallone. in the 60s the gallons of gas would turn in a blur, and the dollar amount would hardly move. four gallons of 96 oktan led was $1.16 five dollars worth would quite a lot fill her tank.

The best pho ever! and we tried everywhere. first time here and it on the top of my 3 most popular Pho restaurants of the 40 we have eaten over the years

The food was good. we didn't have to wait until it arrives. the fish sauce was a bit saltier than normal. the egg rolls were hot.

We drive 30 minutes to eat there when that tells them what we think. large pho, great basilikum roles. What do you want?

Hate to see that my favorite Hickory spot has taken a steep fall from grace. This used to be me and my girlfriend's weekly spot for years, then Covid came along and really took a toll. The past two times we've been (several months apart), we've waited about 30 minutes for someone to come to the table and even acknowledge our existence after being seated (and we typically reserve our seat ahead of time just to be safe). Both times they haven't been incredibly busy (I've seen a full house there many times before), and both times we've got up and left after the server seemed to get offended when asked if we can get a menu. I understand that there's a workforce shortage, but there seems to be a massive flaw in the way this place is managed. It's a sad shell of its former self. I'm sure the food's still adequate, but if you can't even get dishes out the door, then what's the point? They should either more effectively streamline tasks for the limited amount of employees they have, or transition to a take-out only restaurant. I truly hope 777 can make a comeback, but I'll have to give it a couple years.
