Oh My GAWD! I’ve been craving for pho for weeks and this place satisfied my pho cravings!! We ordered 1) pho dac biet, 1)... korean bulgogi, 1) Thai Tea, and 1) chicken pad thai… ALL YUMMY. Service was great, the lady was super nice and funny. (Shesaid “wow you guys murdered it.”) After she saw how we destroyed the food. ???????? Anyways, if i could go back the sameday i would, but they’re already closed. Maybe ill stop by tomorrow.. Lol! Read more

These folks have a stellar sense of customer service and the food is delicious as well. Fair prices for the area, especially... considering the economic situation. I had a Bahn Mi here, and I wasn't able to pay due to their tap to pay being down. I wastold to pay next time I come in. So of course I came back and ordered something a little more extensive. Definitely will bereturning. Read more
First things first. The Server is the best thing they have going and given how hard it is to get staff nowadays, that is no... small benefit, Koi Gardens on first glance seemed a little boring. I didn't see any Koi, but maybe I was at the wrong table. Ifyou're going to call it Koi Gardens, I want Koi. But of course as we know, places are not judged by a lack of charm, only by alack of flavor. The Menu was pretty extensive which for some reason seems to be the case the further away from Vancouver orclose-in Portland you go. Well, the menu was interesting and the server was welcoming and I was prepared to love the Pho. Itcame absolutely steaming, which is another great bonfire along coastal sea of Pho, guiding weary travelers into safe and savoryports. My first taste, that moment of expectation, trepidation, and mystery. As sacred as a first kiss, as clear and focused amoment as I can muster. Nothing casual here. Don't be on the phone, attention wandering in the clouds. It's going to tell you ifyou need hoisen or chili, whether you've stumbled into an old family recipe or whether you have been left treading water in akiddy pool. What my first taste makes me think, is bland. In fact, it truly tastes like someone has watered down the broth.It's such a surprise I have to taste again. Not bad, no strange tastes, just watery. I don't get it. The Special has everythingin there but the kitchen sink. From the shrimp to tripe and all the interesting stuff in between, There should be some body tothis broth and there isn't. So I bite into a shrimp and it tastes fresh, but also like it was cooked in water. Then I dip intothe broth and start rooting around like an old bear with its paw in a hollow tree looking for honey, but in this case, with afork looking for noodles. Ah, another pet peeve. The noodles have been dumped in there in a mass and there is no noodle lift. Itry and mix up the bowl, but the noodles resist this, and I find myself eating lots of broken shor Read more
Bun Bo Hue had a generous amount of meat and I love the sweet basil and mint! But I wish the flavor was a little bit stronger.
PLEASE PUT MORE TENDON AND TRIPE IN YOUR #1! I LOVE YOUR PHO BUT YOU KNOW YOU'RE SKIMPING ON THOSE TWO IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS. If... you improve that I'll keep this a 5 star. If you don't I'll be very sad. Read more
