" I had the worst experience at Phan's Kitchen last night. I noticed the pho took ages to arrive and when it did, it didn’t taste fresh at all. The broth was bland compared to what you’d expect from a good pho. I felt like I was ignored by the staff as I tried to get additional sauce—we ended up flagging someone down to get our check. It was disappointing as the place looked promising. I wouldn’t return based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place! The pho had a comforting taste that reminded me of home. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful in making menu recommendations. While the atmosphere feels cozy, I would love for them to expand their space in the future. I will definitely come back for the amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, kind staff, and a cozy atmosphere made my dining experience at Phan's Kitchen wonderful! The broth in my pho was rich, and you could taste the authenticity in every bite. The wait staff were friendly and engaging, though they were a bit scattered, making it slightly difficult at times to get refills. However, I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was craving pho, and I heard good things about Phan’s Kitchen. I was initially impressed by the cleanliness and welcoming service. My pho, however, was lacking in flavor, which surprised me given the reviews. Despite that, I enjoyed the spring rolls that were bursting with fresh ingredients. The service was attentive but definitely slower as it was busy. I’m considering revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is now my go-to for Vietnamese food! I adore the pho here—so flavorful and aromatic. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I tried the shrimp banh mi, which was equally delicious. The seating arrangement felt intimate, but the restaurant was buzzing with energy which added to the ambiance. I look forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first visit to Phan's Kitchen was delightful! I had the brisket pho, and it was some of the best I've had. The broth was rich, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. The only downside was the wait time for the food, but it was worth it! The ambiance was modern yet cozy, making it a perfect place for a casual dinner. I will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Phan's Kitchen while searching for a good pho spot and I am so glad I did! The brisket pho was delicious, and I could really taste the authentic flavors. However, the service was subpar; I felt overlooked at times, especially when I was trying to get condiments. The atmosphere is pleasant, perfect for a casual eatery, but I think they need a few more staff members on busier nights. I would return, hopefully with a better service experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)
