    Pho combination (double meat)
    Tony V.

    To start off I've given this place a try 3 times to try different dishes before I wrote this review and I've decided all in all, it's kinda pricey but great Vietnamese cuisine especially for being in Portland. The pho was great! Possibly a competition with my top 5 pho joints in Houston, surprisingly (big competition out there). Double meat is a must although I wish they'd offer tendon. Anyways, it saves me a trip to Corpus for my pho craving (I used to frequent Lei's Kitchen) Second time around I've tried their beef chow fun noodles to-go. Again pricey compared to Houston prices and the noodles of their choice was 7/10. However I was content given their method of packing to-go was a nice bowl container that could be microwaved. Lastly I went there a third time to try canh chua (sweet and sour soup on their menu) and paired it with ca kho (braised fish I believe was what it was called on their menu). Neither was nothing to write home about however it was decent enough. The interior was nice and there was a bunch of people at 1pm on a Monday so I hope it continues to stay consistent or get better with everything. Happy eating!

    Some of the best generals chicken I've ever had.

    This is one of our families' favorite restaurants to eat in the area. You will not be disappointed with the flavors or the quantity of food they serve.

    First time here, and this place is really good! If you are in corpus it's a short drive over the bride into GP area. Ordering the lo main and dumplings this was enough for 3 people to share. The portions are plentiful and the taste is great. The restaurant it self is well decorated and the staff was attentive. Really enjoyed this lunch with my family and I'll be back to try something else.

    Two visits in less than a month. 1st visit we had the Crab Rangoon (clearly made fresh), Lettuce Wraps, Lemongrass Chicken and Singapore Noodles, all were flavorful large portions. 2nd visit we had Crab Rangoon, Spring Rolls, Sesame Chicken, General Tso Chicken (pictured), Ramen (pictured), Beef Curry Rice (pictured). Again, all were delicious and generous portions. Service was good considering place was pretty full and only one waiter attending tables. Last visit, we were the only ones there so not fair to compare. Dining area was clean and provides a semi-quiet atmosphere. Drinks are served in small pitcher which caught us off guard our 1st visit but are a cute idea. Note, your straw fits right in the spout of the mini pitcher. Although, I wish some dishes were spicier, they have chili oil and Saracha available. Really hoping community supports this place! We will definitely be back!

    We went to BO BBQ with a group of friends and had a great experience. The restaurant itself was…read morevery spacious, which made it comfortable for a larger group. One of my favorite things was how attentive the service was. The servers never left dirty dishes on the table they were constantly clearing things we didn't need and checking in to see if we wanted anything else. Our drinks were always full, and the service from everyone was excellent. Our server in particular was amazing and switched out the grill pan multiple times when it was needed, which made a big difference. I didn't get a chance to check out the bar with the extra goodies, but honestly, that was fine because the meat was so good and more than made up for it. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back.

The prices are well worth it, a very good value. I highly recommend you come with at least 4 people but a party of six might be better. Why, because there is to much food for the two of us. You have to order 4 meats at a time, we had chicken, Beef Bulgogi, Spicy Pork and Octopus. Everything was excellent! Now Korean can be very very spicy, but here they use more mild heat and let you raise the temp with their sauce bar. Next time I will get pork belly and short ribs and skip chicken and octopus. All of the side dishes are at a self serve bar with lots of other items, like egg rolls which were very good. We will be going back with friends, that way we can get more choices and be able to taste many more dishes. Have fun, we did.

And outside the windows just traffic going by. Although they had some cool plants by the sidewalk. There was plenty of empty tables for us to be seated on that side so don't know why they put us in the sports bar. Big TVs had nothing but a sports commentary showing two guys but no sound and after that, the resting screen was showing for a long time. Reggae music playing. I ordered cashew chicken and my husband got orange chicken. Everything on both plates was from the same orange/yellowish color family, no green veggies at all. The crispies were good; ate all of those. Fried Rice was also orangey and needed to be cooked longer. I like bamboo shoots as much as the next person, but not a whole can on my plate. Too many water chestnuts also, but the amount of carrots was great. Usually there's never enough carrots for me. Egg drop soup: was trying to figure out what it tastes like since I've never actually had it before. Chicken broth. It tastes like chicken broth. Just with egg floating in it and the occasional carrot or pea, but it was good since the plates took a while to come out. There's a sign posted that says: We are not a fast food place. Note: Don't ask to sub wonton soup on your entree cause "that's a separate item". Waiter seemed annoyed to be asked that question because it clearly isn't a choice offered with the entree on the menu; only egg drop soup or hot and sour soup. I'm sure he gets asked that a lot. Doesn't seem to me to be too much to ask since they obviously have it. ‍
