Tried their beef bahn mi (~$10) and the beef was soooo tough. Couldn't chew it and had to spit out most of it. Waiting time for the bahn mi was also quite long, around 15 mins even though there weren't any customers. Just eat Mrs Pho downstairs instead for better bahn mi

Horrible baguette they offer… still having it in front of me and almost choking… it’s dry and hard

Overpriced, poorly made, and inattentive service.
Dropped by The Orange Lantern at 313 Somerset for a quick bite and ordered the prawn rice paper roll. Sadly, it was a letdown. What I got looked nothing like the photo—small, sad, and unappetizing.
What made it worse was the staff taking her time making it, distracted and giggling with a friend who popped by. I stood there watching my neglected rice paper roll while they chatted away. Paid nearly $10 for this—definitely not worth it. Could’ve had a decent chicken rice meal elsewhere. Ranting because I left annoyed.

Gave me barely cooked beef & cold pho soup. Terrible

Located in the foodcourt with air condition seating. They have some daily offers which are affordable. Food is prepared fresh after you order.
