    Re: “Pho Kim 88
    We ate dinner there tonight (Wednesday). Food was good, though about two times more than in most Asian restaurants. However, the service was atrocious. We were not given napkins or tableware when seated, when our order was taken, or when our appetizer was brought. I had to get up and stand on line at the take out cash register in order to get a napkin and a fork for each of us. We asked for knives as well, and the hostess told us we didnt need them with the spring roll. We asked to bring them to us before we got our main meal. She never did. We asked the waiter who brought our main meal to bring us knives. He didnt. He never stopped back to see if we needed more water, which I did. Finally, I went back up to stand in line at the take out register to get water and to ask for one knife for my wife and I to share, and the waiter saw me and came over to ask what I wanted. Eventually, we got one knife, one extra water. We needed a couple more napkins at that point, but I didnt even bother to ask for them because I knew it was a lost cause.

    Any other time I've received service half this bad, part of the meal was comped, especially when it was that overpriced. Not at Pho Kim 88.

    If you absolutely have to go there, make sure you bring your own tableware, your own napkins, and your own water.

    I will never go back. We were scouting out a new restaurant to take some friends to that we owe a dinner out, but we sure wont take anyone we like to this restaurant.
