Their salespeople are very pushy. They will try to make extra sales by putting in the bag more than you ask. I asked for quarter pound so that I can buy many different items. They would intentionally put in over half a pound. I told them I only want quarter pound and they said they don't have a scale and would need to check at the checkout. At the check out they just weight and seal without you getting a chance to say anything. I feel very manipulated by unethical business practices.

All of these bad reviews are true. They treated me the same, too; meaning no matter how much you ordered, those sales ladies will put a lot more in. I learned from my cousin afterward that you would have to tell those ladies if they put more than what you order; you will not pay for it and leave the store. Hopefully, this will help.

Please .. Please .. Beware .. never come to this place! I regret that I didn't read all those bad reviews beforehand. All those reviews were exactly what it happened to me when I visited this place. We bought 5 different things and told her 1lb each. The lady clearly said .. that's good, that way you will have 1/2 lb free. Uhh Duhh .. at the counter, every single bag was 2lbs or more .. and my bill ends up $285. Don't bother to talk about the freebies .. they will try to give you those single wrapped things like " holloween stuffs" for kids. We both just looked at each other and laughed .. paid and went out with a big disappointed at the way they ran business. Especially, their shop is right at the heart of Vietnamese town.

What everyone else is saying about this place is 100% true. The staff puts on a fake nice act to try to get you to buy more than what you ask for. I asked for 2 pounds, and the associate proceeded to stuff the bag closer to 4 pounds! When I told her I only wanted 2, she took some out and it was still like 3 pounds. I finally settled at 2.5 pounds when I realized she wasn't going to let me buy what I asked for. They are very pushy and aggressive and will have you trying everything in the store, hoping that you will buy it all! The only nice thing I can say is that it's like being in Cho Ben Thanh in Saigon where they all do the same thing. Unfortunately, this is America! Do not shop here for the convenience, since there are dozens of other beef jerky places nearby, even one right outside the parking lot.

I suggest alway read the reviews first before going. Went there to buy some beef jerky and told the lady we only want 5 lbs. When we get to the check out counter the lady told us we have 20 lbs. I told her we only want 5 lbs and she keep saying you got 20lbs so you get 2 lbs for free. Just want to avoid argument so we just pay for it and left. Never buy from here again even though their beef jerky is good. But I’m sure there are other business out there are just as good and better service. She didn’t even give us a receipt but I’m sure the receipt doesn’t give you the detail.

Poor service and more expensive compared to other Vua Kho Bo store that I went to. When server weighed my bag, I told her that I only wanted half a pound, but she ended up charged me close to a pound for that bag. she was very upset and mostly just wanted us to buy quickly and go. She was not polite and not friendly at all. When I went to another place I was told how much I buy they charge me as much, not necessarily half a pound or a pound and up. But with this place, she told me she only sell me at least half a pound and if less she wouldn't sell. To be honest, the attitude was very disdainful to customers. The food they sell here is not looking good either. If possible I would give it a 0 star.

(Translated by Google) Buy 3LBS ink, charge 212$. That makes 70$/1LBS. Called again to ask for money and refused to pay, and said that the goods sold could not be returned, and the customer refused to see Bill at checkout. While wholesale, the seller must be responsible for taking care of the customer, the money in wholesale is not clear. Calculated to buy a difference of nearly $ 120 without paying for customers, but also refused to send 2LBS to the correct quantity. Doing business like this, it will always close anyway, not professional but also a scam(Original)Mua 3LBS mực, tính tiền lần 212$. Thành ra 70$/1LBS. Gọi điện lại đòi tiền ko chịu trả, còn nói hàng bán ra ko trả được, bắt lỗi khách ko chịu coi Bill lúc tính tiền. Trong khi bán buôn, người bán hàng phải có trách nhiệm take care cho khách, bán buôn tiền bạc lèn èn ko rõ ràng. Tính ra mua chênh lệch gần 120$ mà ko chịu trả tiền cho khách, mà cũng ko chịu gửi thêm 2LBS cho đúng vs số lượng. Làm ăn như vậy, trước sau gì cũng đóng cửa, ko chuyên nghiệp mà còn lừa đảo

Stay away from this location, as I came here to purchase some Vietnamese goodies for Tết earlier today, I encountered with a lady who helped me and she was dishonest at how she scaled all the goodies, I asked for half a pound, she picked one pound, I asked for one pound, she added 1.5 to 2 pound, and also very pushy, weighted them all and charged the same higher price even though the other item is at cheaper price. Just be careful or best to stay away from this business. Nhân viên ở tiệm này buôn bán gian lận, không trung thực, mình đến mua mứt Tết, mình nói nửa pound, cân thành 1 pound, 1 pound cân thành pound rỡi, giá tiền mỗi món khác nhau nhng khi đi cân lại cân chung rồi chọn giá đắt nhất tính chung. Đầu năm đầu tháng sao lại có thể buôn bán gian lận đến vậy.

Anyone that buys beef jerky at vua Kho bo, you have to be careful of this place since they will take advantage you. When you buy, make sure you look at the scales since they give you more then you asked. Neither do they give you a receipt of your price breakdown. If you are Vietnamese. BE CAREFUL. They will try to take advantage of you because they think you trust them due to the fact you speak the same language. I’m writing this because this was a personal experience. That is sad that everyone needs money take care of their families but karma will get you.

They scammed me here. I wanted 3 pounds. Each pound is $27. The bill came out $181!! I asked them why 181 they said it's 5 pounds with 1/2 pounds free. Even if I wanted 5 pounds it still wouldn't be $181. These people charge extra thinking we don't know better. They were pushy and trying to get me to buy what I don't want. I wouldn't buy anything here. There's another franchise location around here.

I went to this location and to the one on Walnut Drive in Irvine and I got the same treatment. All of the ladies are really pushy. I told them I wanted .5 LB of each but they kept pushing for 1 LB. They got so annoying so I just said yes so I ended up spending $65. That is more than what I wanted to spend. These ladies must get paid on commissions because they are so aggressive. They have not basic sale skills. This is not Cho Ben Thanh in Saigon. The owner should do something about it because if this chain keeps getting bad Yelp reviews, the Yelp users will stop spending their money here. There are other shops that treat their customers better. I am definitely will not be coming back and I will be telling my relatives and friends.
