| - Pho Kim 88 can be hit or miss, hence only 3 stars. Usually it's quite good, and I'm a fan of the bun (vermicelli noodles with choice of meat) and the pho. I don't eat red meat, so I really appreciate that fact that they have chicken broth for their chicken soup (hu tieu ga). The chicken broth is excellent here, and the sides of veggies and herbs are always fresh and plentiful. We had been ordering the vermicelli noodles here for years (literally) and the chicken had this terrific marinade, and they grilled it perfectly, and then one day we ordered it, and it was a if it was from another restaurant...flavorless, no marinade, really bad. I called and complained, and they were nice and offered me a free meal, but that's not what I wanted...I wanted it back the way it was! Sometimes now it's good, and sometimes not, so inconsistency in the kitchen from cook to cook. When they iron this out, they'll get 4 stars from me.
