Just left this restaurant because of receptionist was discriminating against My boyfriend and I. We came in around 8:24pm and was told that the kitchen will be closing in 6 mins and was unable to be seated and would allow to take take out. We understood and left and thought coming another day and time because we really wanted to try the food. We were waiting in our car trying to find another place to dine in and we saw two cars, separate parties, go into the restaurant. We saw that the same receptionist take them to get seated. Keep in mind they were two different parties of people. We went back in to ask why we weren’t treated with the same service as the two parties and wasn’t offered to dine in. She was in complete shock because she got caught and try to say she didn’t deny us service when she clearly said take out only cause of the 6 minute time frame of the kitchen closing. We talked to the owner to express our concerns and he said it was a miscommunication. It was definitely not. He tried to make it right but she made us feel to uncomfortable with her attitude and eye rolling to even stay. Please re-educate and offer her some coaching development on how to service customers correctly. I didn’t want to include this but we were all minorities in this restaurant and the parties were not. Her decision making on that was very clear. It’s unfortunate because everyone should be treated equally. Our money wasn’t...
Read moreIt is always a great pleasure happening upon spots like Pho Kitchen. Here for Allen Hopkins Super Billiards Expo after 2 years of cancellation and disappointed the Pan Asian restaurant I enjoyed near the Expo Center for lunch is no longer. Seeking a new spot I happened upon PK representing a pan asian menu. WoW. I started out with Tom Yum Soup chock full of delicious vegetables (baby corn, zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, lemon grass and I think bok choy) and shrimp. Broth was appropriately super spicy and tangy. Plating, or bowling in this case, was sloppy and unattractive. The soup is so good you thoroughly forget about it. Overwhelmed by great flavor. I also ordered summer rolls that were twice the size as I am accustomed seeing in my zone, Northern Virginia. Also, delicious, with peanut sauce having concentrated essence of peanut flavor. Looking forward to enjoying lunch there next year during SBE. Menu prices are extraordinarily reasonable in my opinion and experience. Wait staff/servers are friendly and accommodating. I have the sense that PK has a large, loyal, clientele...
Read moreFirst time here and will never go back again. Saw the 4.4 review and thought this place would be good. I was very wrong and I really wonder how they got such a high review... The place is old and run down on top of there's flies flying around inside ( one was literally flying at my table the whole time I was there) Saw the cleaning lady use the same broom that she sweeps the floor with and used it to sweep the chairs and booths... The food was disgusting too. We ordered the Sampler, which tasted like it was left over from the day before and they just heated it up. I ordered the broken rice with grilled beef, the beef was not grilled, it was probably deep fried because of how much oil was on it. I took a bite and it was so greasy that I spat it back out and didn't even touch it again. The only thing that was decent was the pho but even that was bland. The servers were ok. I don't really do reviews but this place was just horrible and disgusting so I had to warn people. All in all there's no way this restaurant should have a 4.4 review with over...
