I decided to give You and I Kitchen a try because I believe its Yelp rating was over four stars, which, after my visit, I find pretty hard to believe.
I ordered the Rib Eye Steak Pho ($15.45), which was essentially a rare beef pho, and that was definitely the highlight of the meal. If I were rating the restaurant strictly on the pho, I would probably give it four stars. The broth was flavorful, the beef was good, and overall I enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, just about everything else brought the experience down considerably.
The biggest problems were the lack of cleanliness and the almost completely absent service. No one voluntarily came back to my table to check on me during my entire meal. Anytime I needed something, I literally had to get up, walk toward the back of the restaurant, find someone, and ask them to come out. I had to do this for water, my iced coffee, and even some extra green onions. That's simply not acceptable table service.
I also ordered the fried pot stickers, 5 pieces ($7.95). They were okay, but there was really nothing special or memorable about them. The Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk ($5.95) was also disappointing. It tasted watered down and lacked the strong, rich coffee flavor I normally expect from Vietnamese iced coffee.
My food subtotal was $29.35, plus an $0.88 credit-card surcharge and $2.58 tax, bringing the total to $32.81 before tip.
I was actually leaning toward 2 1/2 stars, but the pho was good enough to pull the overall rating up to three. Even so, between the cleanliness issues, nonexistent attention from the staff, mediocre pot stickers, and weak iced coffee, this was a pretty disappointing visit.
I doubt I would return, but if I did, it would probably only be for the pho--and I would go in with very low expectations when it comes to service and cleanliness.
