For the unique flavor.
Taste just like you get on streets of Saigon...
Oh well, I am not justifying what they did, just stating, that the look may have been much worse than it really was.
However, I believe for the sake of safety, they should have suffered the consquences for the lack of care they took in doing the task differently.
The mop bucket is a nice touch.

It tr8ggered an inspection which found a cockroach infestation and other violations.

When were you last in Saigon?

“I was in... Sang Bang... Dang Gong... I was all over the place, basically a lot of places, a lot of places.”
Yes asian restaurants do have a well deserved reputation for questionable food handling and sanitation issues, however this happens all over.
Back in the 80s a good friend of mine worked in the kitchen of a very respectable steakhouse in my town....later he went on to be a plumber doing commercial work in businesses including many restaurant kitchens.
He told me on several occasions, if he shared stories of things he’s seen in restaurant kitchens I’d never eat out again......and he said it didn’t matter how upscale the restaurant either.....they ALL do it.
Never. Unless you count the little bamboo -surrounded outdoor drinking area of a certain bar in Eugene, Oregon. That was known as Saigon. Caught a baby ‘possum there, once.
Hey - they were taken “temporary unsanitary”...

Well, you’ve got to marinate the ribs somewhere! Lol!
After eating our Pho, you will make love to the toilet seat.
Then you don’t know the d8fference.
“cats in the kettle at the Peking Moon”
We had a Pho place here (CO) caught dumping uneaten pho back in the main pot.
Haven’t been back.
