    "Chicken Chow Mein"

    I wanted to try out the lunch special with my roommate today and I was in the mood for noodles and ordered the chicken chow mein. However, what I received was not anything close to that. I called and told them it was wrong and was yelled at on the phone, so I went back to get my order fixed. I showed them what they gave me and they tried to tell me that I was wrong and that chow mein is not noodles, and that I ordered incorrectly. Had I wanted noodles I should have ordered the Lo Mein. Which this is clearly false, from a lifetime of eating chow mein and a quick google search. In addition, the menu LITERALLY SAYS "Crispy noodle" However, they just did not want to be wrong or give me a refund. Extremely disrespectful employees, not worth it for $1, let alone the $7 I spent.

    Amazing fresh Chinese food ! I was looking for a place around my neighborhood and this place popped up .

    General Tso's chicken with fried rice.. ehhh
    Starry S.

    I have tried many Chinese take out restaurants in my life and I have gotta say this is the worst of the worst. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken with pork fried rice lunch special for about $6.00 after tax. How can you mess that up???? The chicken was skimpy and really small pieces. Questionable chicken meat. The rice was bland and dry. The hot and sour soup was so gooey because of all the cornstarch they use. I have given this place a try and I will find other options from now on. Maybe I should have stayed safe and ordered fried chicken and fried rice instead..

    Great Thai fried rice. It's flavorful n tasty, we usually order chicken and shrimp Thai fried rice. They also have a good delivery system and they accept credit cards unlike some places.

    A year has passed since my first visit and review of Pho99. I've had multiple amazing meals since…read morethen! But my most recent dining experience was somewhat disappointing. It started as soon as we walked into the restaurant; there was an unfortunate water leak dripping down from the ceiling, right by the entrance. The staff put a bucket below a huge water bubble that had formed in the ceiling, to catch the drips... but you had to walk around it to get into the restaurant. Kind of weird that the staff didn't think of getting from a hardware store, one of those tarps that catches ceiling leaks and diverts the water thru a hose to a bucket... that isn't in the way of customers entering the restaurant. Anyway, we sat down, and ordered an old favorite dish, and decided to try a new one. The old favorite is the House-made Fish Cake Pho (Pho Cha Ca)! The kitchen staff hand makes the fish paste from scratch, with some kind of super addictive & flavorful spices, and I've really enjoyed it in the past. We also decided to try the Shaking Beef Rice (Com Bo Lac Lac) for the first time. Unfortunately, both dishes were disappointing. The fish cake in the pho looked and tasted like typical frozen type you can get at any Asian market... and was confirmed when we asked the staff. Where's my ATF fish cake?!? The beef cubes in the rice dish were (a) super overcooked (like beef jerky level chewy) and (b) the sauce was way, way too salty. We also noticed the restaurant manager, Ngan, wasn't working that night. Perhaps all these problems happened because she was away on holiday? And Pho99 will be back to its usual spectacular food after she returns?

I ordered Vietnamese comfort food. I have never travelled to Vietnam, but I certainly enjoy and have an appreciation of international ethnic cuisines. This main course originated in Northern Vietnam. I practiced walking meditation for bodily movement as exercise and attempt for mental clarity from Forest Hills to Rego Park. It was near empty when I entered at 11:30 am on a June Monday. My male server pulled a laminated QR code card from the condiment tray and plopped down instructing me to scan it for the menu. I immediately gave him a wracked with grief and anguish look as scanning such QR codes was during COVID-19 era which now post COVID-19 it is very callous and utter impersonal. My male server retreated to rebuke my anguish look for resilience "we have paper menus" which I gladly viewed after my eyes were intensely examined earlier. I do not want to doom scrolling during my meal including sitting at a restaurant or cafe. Albeit, I would certainly Yelp check-in and take photos during my time in the business. The paper menu is a takeout menu. Facilities are located in the basement with low head room as you walk these steps. It is relatively clean and bathroom sink is outside the toilet area shared by all genders. Patrons can visibly see boxes, shipping crates of their inventory are pipe high disorganized disarray by the bathroom sink foyer. Customer service is average. Flank and Brisket Phở, $17.25 Thinly sliced rare flank and cooked brisket. It is customary accompanied with a separate plate of room temperate Asian bean sprouts with a piece of fresh lime, a staple for Vietnamese Pho. It was served hot, but not piping hot as it should. The broth was very oily and flavorful with onions. The soup broth oil bubbles are very visible for the high level of cholesterol and fat content. The rice noodles were chopped rather than long continuous noodle strains. The meat seemingly appeared semi-cooked as there were noticeable visible pink areas. I preferred if my meat were well done for cooking level. What would "Lisa from Temecula" - Saturday Night Live think if her meat had pink areas for uncooked meat? The character is notorious for ordering her steaks "extra, extra well done." Pho 99 has handheld devices for wait staff to approach customers with credit/debit payment (aka cashless) at the table. There is a 4% discount when payments are cash. I paid in cash, attained the 4% discount and obtained my sales receipt. Dinning tables are modern large dark color, but no table linens. The long booth bench cushion against the wall material appears very worn and dirty. Their disclaimer is written on the utensil wrap "hand-crafted ietnamese noodle soup 100% beef broth, no MSG, fresh house-made noodles." VIETNAMESE is noticeably misspelt, missing the "V." The reverse side has a sketch of Vietnam country map. Inside this utensil wrap contains one gold emblem spoon, black matte lacquer chopsticks, and one napkin. This business is accessible via MTA NYC Transit M, R local trains at 67th Avenue subway station in Rego Park, Queens, NYC. I walked to reach this business for my visit.

I was definitely impressed as I wanted a breakfast that made my tastebuds come alive and this vegetarian and vegan café did indeed what it set out to do. My first visit was on 08/13. I made my way to the counter and made my order. I was instructed to take a number that was on a stand and place it on the table wherever I chose to sit. I ordered the Mediterranean Omelet (gluten free) its ingredients are-3 eggs, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, onions, goat cheese served with a side salad (sliced cucumbers, spinach, shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, diced tomatoes, salad dressing, and one slice of 7-grain toast for $1 extra. I just need to be totally honest, silence gave consent of satisfaction and I smiled every time I placed the food in my mouth!

I am happy to see that they've added vegetarian Khao soi and an entire vegetarian menu, though I haven't had a chance to try them yet! I'd recommend this restaurant for the wonderful ambiance, friendly service, and to enjoy one of their "key" dishes (others are just "meh"). Soothr would be fab for a big group dinner out, catching up with friends, or a fun date. It can get a little loud, so I wouldn't recommend for more intimate or serious occasions. A bit pricey too, but the whole ambiance elevates it to where it's worth it, in my opinion.

We were also able to park right out front, which was super convenient! A huge shout-out to Daniel, who showed us incredible hospitality! Even though the restaurant was full and he was managing the front solo, he handled everything with such grace. He kindly asked a customer if they could offer my wife and our baby a seat, brought us our drinks immediately in case we needed to drink while waiting for the food, and made sure we were completely comfortable while juggling other orders. Thank you, Daniel! As for the food, it's always consistent in the best way possible. We ordered our usuals: the braised pork with rice, the popcorn chicken with rice, and the kumquat lemon drinks. The quality is top-notch, and the portion sizes always leave us feeling full and satisfied! My wife would usually eat half the bowl and save the other half for the next day.

It had that distinct Vietnamese coffee taste with a mix of alcohol, which blended in nicely. It luckily did not keep me up all night. For entrees, we split an order of the Shaking Beef ($33) as well as the Bun Rieu ($22). We probably could have just ordered one or the other to split as we were very stuffed by the end of the meal.
