Review of VUU Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar

Experience started off bad and hardly improved during our stay. Entered the restaurant with no host at the front; after waiting an unreasonable amount, a bus lady finally sits us down. We order our drinks, wait even more before the waitress comes back and says that they had "run out of cups." I can honestly say that's the first time I've heard that in what looks like it should be a respectable restaurant.

Finally get drinks and finally place our order and wait another unreasonable amount of time before we're given our $10 appetizer, which was beyond overly priced (I had seen similar items served as complimentary items in other restaurants). Seriously, if it takes less than 5 seconds to eat an appetizer, costing $10 is not at all reasonable. This was followed by another incredibly long waiting period (in which only the bus lady had refilled our drinks) before our main course (Panang Curry) had come. Now, I'm a huge fan of Panang Curry, going so far as to try and prefect my own recipe. Their rendition of it could only be described as mediocre, with the local Tin Drum serving both higher quality and quantity Panangs at far lower prices. It didn't even seem to feature basil in it, a (I would argue) core feature of a Panang dish.

I left Vuu extremely annoyed and still appreciably hungry. I would claim this place to be over hyped, apparently staffed by one competent bus lady and a horde of absent waitresses, with bland over priced food that isn't even worth the gas money to drive to the restaurant. Definitely would not recommend.
