"The commenter expressed a strong negative opinion about Falansai, citing an incident where they were served rau cần while it was called rau muống on the menu, and they tried to dispute it. They also find Saiguette 'meh' and refuse to pay high prices for disappointing food at places like La Đồng and Madam Võ."
