A recent Richmond.com review of Friend or Pho? get at the gripes of the nay-sayers:

If you’ve come to this review looking for such a debate, you’re in the wrong place. To lump Friend or Pho into this category is missing the point. If it were going for Vietnamese authenticity, you wouldn’t hear a mix of the Pixies and Sonic Youth pumped into the dining room.
