phan's garden

it's not as good as people think. why is everything so darn sweet? every dish had sugar in it - the fish, the phone, the papaya salad. wtf. plus we waited almost an hour for our food. what's up with the gratuity fee? not getting my gratuity as a customer. advice for business owners - gratuity fee is a good way to drive away customers for life when service andfoodare not that good anyway. of people wanted to tip, they will. you don't need to force them by placing this "gratuity" charge.

stop in, you won't be disappointed.. was taken here for lunch by a friend and i loved it. i only wish i remembered the #'s of thefoodwe ate. it was all pretty good. i would recommend this if you are a fan of chinese/vietamese food. service isn't the best, so don't expect 5 star, but thefoodis really well done.

phans garden is a treat!. this is my very favorite restaurant in town, and i come back again and again. the folks at phans get to know you if you are a regular, even to the point where they know what you order. personally, i would stick with the vietnamese menu rather than the chinese... you can get chinesefoodanywhere in milwaukee! the best dishes i've had are chicken with lemon grass and curry; the basil chicken, the bun thit nuong cha jia ( a noodle dish layered with lettuce salad, cucumber and carrots, cilantro, mint, bean sprouts, vietnamese style barbeque pork, and spring rolls, with a sweet fish sauce to pour over it all... wow!) there is also a noodle dish that is what i would call chow fun in calfornia, with wide rice noodles, combo of veggies and meat/shrimp, and a smoky flavor to it- just ask them for the one that is like chow fun- they know what you are talking about! enjoy!
