    Thai Iced Tea A2. Fresh Shrimp Salad Roll
    Tanya W.

    This is one of my favorite places. I enjoy the ambiance more than anything else...okay, well maybe not more than the Thai iced tea. I'm not sure why, but I believe they have the best Thai tea around. I order this drink every time I go to a pho restaurant. GoGo's is tops for me in that department. As far as the ambiance, I really enjoy sitting outside in their gated area. I bring my dog and sip my tea on sunny days. They have some gambling machines inside and they seem to pretty popular from what I can tell. The staff is always friendly and consistent. They don't seem to have much turnover, so you can really get to know your server. The food. It's good. Is it the best I've ever had? It's a 7 out of 10 for me. So pretty decent. My only complaint is whenever I order the D2, I get the B2. The letters sound too close together. So I get it. All in all, it's a 4.5 out of 5 stars for me. .5

    I had the worst experience anyone could ever have at this place the young woman that serviced us tonight 2/12/2024 around 9 was one of the worst waitress. She was rude and literally told me in my face "well what did you expect" when I told her we didn't like her customer service. She was also trying to change my card %20 more from the tip we had already gave her.

    Been here one time and was happy with the food! I ordered the shrimp pad Thai and was happy with the quality. The portion was average amount and I could eat it all in one sitting. They were able to make it spicy, which I love. And my friend ordered the pho and he liked it as well. Great easy spot to fix a pho craving conveniently located in a lot with plenty of parking and room for large parties. Happy overall with my experience here!

    Shrimp salad roll

    To go order for a light lunch, got a couple appetizers- the shrimp salad rolls and bbq short ribs. The employee who helped me gave the recommendation of the ribs and they were a great choice! When I got my food, I wasn't expecting kalbi and was pleasantly surprised that the bbq ribs were that, had some onion and fish sauce with side of fries. 5pc or so of the ribs. The salad roll was fresh and the rice paper wasn't overly stiff like it was left out too long or overly cold. The two appetizers kept me full and even had some leftovers Will have to try the other menu items as this place does a variety.

    Unfortunately this place hasn't improved. I went here to try their food again after having their pho a few years ago. This place has become more of a bar than a restaurant. They don't seem to like it when you're not there to drink alcohol. The chicken skewers had an off taste/odor to them, almost like they were past their use by date. The egg rolls and salt and pepper shrimp were ok, but you would probably get a better version of them at another restaurant. The steak tips were pretty good. If you're here looking for a good meal and service, you'll probably be disappointed.

    Small bowl portion for large bowl price. Where's the beef? Is that all? Are some of those basil leaves starting to get old?

    Ordered here for the first time the other evening through Uber Eats. Flavors were decent but there certainly were some negative quirky discrepancies. I wanted a nice warm bowl of phó and my relative wanted Pad Thai. Although not really a Vietnamese dish it's amazing how many Vietnamese establishments go hybrid and offer Thai food, Japanese and Korean on their menus, seems to be a common thing around Portland. I've certainly had my fair share excellent ethnic foods from Portland to LA, and well ... LA still blows Portland out of the water when it comes to culinary excellence. I'm always surprised how Portland continues to disappoint when it comes to authentic ethnic cuisine. Unfortunately Gogo Pho Bar is another example of not quite getting it right. (Dish 1) The phó was your basic recipe, flavor was mild, nothing out of this world, but nothing terrible either. Just okay. All the usual sides were there along with a couple of big basil leaves that were half rotted, wasn't hard to miss, not sure why they didn't just pluck them off? Where they really dropped the ball was the portion size you get. Ordering online there wasn't a choice of a large or small bowl, what you get is a small bowl at large bowl price of $14 dollars with a protein. Even in a hard times economy a large bowl of phó shouldn't run more than $7-$10 dollars, there are even places around Portland who still manage to at least keep a more fair market price. Not only was the bowl portion small, but the meat to go with was about as skimpy as could be. I kept looking to see if they hid some more under the rice noodles or something. Nope! Guess this is one way to keep profits up. Yikes! (Dish 2) Typically when I want Pad Thai I'll order it from a Thai restaurant, but that's what my relative wanted, so that's what we ordered. The actual flavor of the entrée wasn't all that bad, not overly sweet nor salty, and the portion size was okay. Pad Thai seems to come in two versions, one where the noodles have an orange glaze color to them and is often sweet tasting, the other is lighter or clear in color and is sometimes less sweet tasting. Theirs is somewhere in between. But here's where the dish really fell apart. It was basically a plate of rice noodles with a semi-sweet salty light colored sauce coating them. Again, the chicken meat portion was practically non existent, just a few medium sized chunks! Nope, there wasn't anymore that was hiding under the noodles or fell out of the container. I've never seen such drastic skimping, ever. Small spoon full of chopped peanuts, bean sprouts on the side. No scallions, no eggs. On the order I chose mild, which was odd since most Pad Thai is mild anyways. Even stranger, they tossed in a bunch of sliced jalapeños into the dish. Again, this was a first, I've NEVER seen Pad Thai with jalapeños added, especially when the request was for mild. Who does this?! Gogo Pho Bar does! I tasted it and didn't find it all that spicy, but it was noticeable. My elderly relative found it to be too spicy. I ate half of it and added a fried egg and scallions to bump up the flavors a bit, much better. So much for hybrid Vietnamese Pad Thai. (3) Anytime I get food from a Vietnamese restaurant I haven't tried I always make sure to get a taste of their Banh Mi. So I ordered the standard grilled pork version. This was almost just right, flavor was good, bread was fresh, soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, but it was a tad heavy on the shredded carrots and they were lumped along one side so it was impossible to take a bite and get a mixture of all the ingredients together unless you have an extra wide mouth. It was like take a bite on this side full of carrots, then take a bite on the opposite side to get the other fillings. As usual the meat portion was on the smaller side. Eee gads! $8-$10 dollars on an 8" inch French baguette is pretty much the norm around this city, of course theirs was on the higher priced side. All in all. Way too expensive for what you get. I have to wonder if they're trying to convert everyone to vegetarian with all the meat their saving by not putting it into their entrées? Flavors are okay, but nothing stellar or out of this world. Order was on-time with little wait.

    Gogo's is my place to go if I can't make it to Pho King. I live a 2 min walk from here. I do not recommend the chicken pad Thai (I actually got sick off of it) also, do not get the crab puffs, I could only eat the filling because the wonton wrapper was wayyyy to hard. I do recommend their pho though! It's pretty good but they do not give you enough meat, I got the super bowl and was really lacking meat. They are thin small pieces. But the flavor is all there!

I've tried less of the food than the mocktails, but the Mac and cheese served fajita style on a hot plate was quite good. I also like the casual atmosphere and the willingness of the staff to go with the flow.

    This I'd say, is a fantastic little hang out! Here's the 411 on The 649:…read more * Parking Situation * Although the location of The 649 is just "where the F" (eye-roller). Because it's somewhat hidden in the corner of a Safeway shopping plaza. Look for the Baskin Robbins or Wells Fargo ATM and your find it. Like other reviews, when busy, parking can be a bit horrendous. But in hindsight, I'm not gonna reduce a star just because of location. * Bar Food Menu & Dining * Their menu starts with shareable bites, like a pretzel, tacos, quesadilla, loaded nachos, and even a charcuterie plate. Slightly larger dishes would be their Cubano and Brisket Press sandwiches. They even have a few choices for soup and salads, and a couple of dessert items listed. Don't forget to check the chalkboard next to the bar for specialty dishes and drinks. As for dining-in, they've got sturdy wooden tables that can accommodate 4-8 people. Bar stools by the windows, and a fairly large outside patio area. And with the times I've been here, I've never seen a dirty table. Very well maintained (two thumbs up). A few TV monitors showing the game, but its not like a noisy sportsbar. * Drinks & Services* You've got your choice of craft beers that rotate like a standard tap room. They also have tasty seasonal cocktails, but their normal everyday cocktails are just as good. And if you're gonna have a charcuterie board, then you've got to offer a wine list option right? Well they got that too! One last thing to mention, they've got some top-shelf bourbon and whiskey. The 649 is a bar that offers it all! Service has also been welcoming and top-notch. I recall only been served by Rich, Steven, and Crystal, but they always seem to craft up some lovely cocktails. Or deliver some clean tasting everyday type of bar food as well. * Last Call * Normally in my reviews, I'd list every item that I've tried, with price included. But The 649 is such a unique type of bar experience that I feel you should try for yourself; To me, their offerings are reasonably priced. Dining in is nothing fancy, but service is excellent. It's a great hangout for a business date, of even after a first date. I've got nothing but love for local support!
