Phan's Garden Restaurant

Had to submit an updated review on this beloved restaurant. I hate to give it a 2 star review, but this restaurant has lost its charm. I've been making a trip here, about once every other month and the quality of their food just keep decreasing. Not only that, but portions are much smaller now and prices have gone up. Inflation must be hurting them, but that shouldn't affect quality. Pho portions are small compared to other restaurants down the road. Interior decor has remained the same for as long as I can remember since the 90's, covered in an odor I can only describe as sewer gas. Honestly, I the interior never bothered me because the quality of their dishes out shined the environment, but that was long ago. Mind you, the door remains locked on some trips I made during their business hours. Maybe because of crime? There's a sign on the door instructing you to call for someone to open the door, strange. Phan still make the best Vietnamese rolls though. I probably won't be returning, but I wish them well.

The food is good. Exactly what I expected. The service is friendly and helpful, but all of our food came out at different times. Not the end of the world, but a little unusual. The atmosphere, unfortunately, leaves something to be desired. The feel and smell of the place is like an old house -- you know it's clean where you can see it, but something just smells like people have been using everything in the space for a long time and the space needs an upgrade.

BEST CRISPY YELLOW NOODLE AKA CANTONESE CRISPY CHOW MEIN DISH IN ALL OF MILWAUKEE. YES I TRIED QUITE A FEW IN OTHER ASIAN RESTAURANTS, ALL AROUND TOWN AND NOTHING BEATS THE TASTE OF THIS PARTICULAR DISH AT PHAN'S GARDEN.

DO NOT COME HERE !!! It's been over 10 years since I've been here, and it has gone bad. Very disappointing. The pork in the spring roll was cold and plain, peanut sauce was watered down, and the pho was bland. No bean sprout, Jalapeños, lime, or mint was given for the pho. We order take out as well and when we got to our destination (40mins away), the beef and broccoli barely had any beef, the sweet and sour chicken dish was over cooked and the house special fried rice was plain. The service was horrible.

Recommended on the Milwaukee foodie Facebook group - very happy we dined here and enjoyed everything we ordered! I will have to learn more about Vietnamese cuisine and try something new next time.

I went here now and then over several decades. Sorry. Now not worth the risk anymore of vagrant man following me around parking lot asking me for whatnot. And for what? To go in for overpriced food in mysty old place with bathroom reminiscent of an old toilet room in 1970s not updated since 1920s. Reminded me of an old bathroom in train station in Chicago circa 1960. Waiting for service. Could hear a cricket chirping in distance. Long bar seemed worthless waste of space, like the bar in "The Shining" minus the bartender or patrons.

Great food wonderful staff

Best shrimp pho❤️❤️❤️

Easily the best fried rice, egg rolls and Pho in Milwaukee county. They have other foods that are great but these three are our favorites. I have been coming here for over 18years. Never disappointed.
