I love that they have a dedicated GF menu and offer a lot of options! It’s been years since I’ve had Calamari and Honey Walnut Shrimp and it was delicious! I’m excited to have found this spot. I’ll definitely have to come back again!

Was supposed by the quality of the food at this place. The pho which I had with beef and brisket was outstanding. The quality of the broth was the best I’ve ever had.
Ken the owner came over to make sure everything was tasting good. I love when an owner takes pride in his restaurant.
Highly recommend this place!

My Saturday night dinner was a complete disaster. The service was awful: we waited forever for our order to be taken, our drinks never arrived, and the server was watching a game on television and then nowhere to be found. The dishes were sticky, and the overall atmosphere was chaotic, thanks to a screaming child. The credit card system added insult to injury, as the final bill was unclear when we asked to have drinks removed since we never got them. Lastly, this Thai food tasted like Korean food, not even close to Thai. I'll never return to this place.

Came in with a couple dishes in mind, but saw their Pho menu, and manager (owner?) talked it up… recommended a rare steak version. Was not disappointed.. was outstanding… a few dabs of the garlic chili sauce and was just right. But the broth really didn’t need anything, it was plenty flavorful on its own. Also had a summer roll. Always like to come by here when in town for work.

Got the rare steak pho, and it was delicious. Came in an hour before they closed on a weeknight and it was pretty empty. No complaints, service was good and the menu is interesting.

Order take out! The food is high quality and always good, but the service is VERY slow every time we have dined in. Especially if you have kids, this is not the place to sit down for a quick meal.

This is one of the best Pho I’ve ever had. My husband loves their Egg drop soup, You can tell there’s a lot of care that goes into their food. Price is responsible!

I've been here 3 times since I moved to the area. It's been an ongoing search for good Vietnamese food. I decided to try Goji as I saw a review from a Vietnamese person (no offense to others but I was looking for authentic flavors and not adjusted for the 'common' American palate). This review is only for the pho as I didn't try any other item on the menu. =)
I've lived in NYC, Bay Area, Houston, and Ho Chi Minh City (as an expat) and frequently visit LA area, where great Vietnamese food reside. The pho has the flavors of the pho in southern Vietnam, with a rich, flavorful and sweet broth. It is clear that the broth has been made from simmering the bones for hours. While it has the flavor of star anise, it is mild and not overpowering. The pho is better than what I have found in NYC, Bay Area or Houston, and is on par with some of the best in LA area and Ho Chi Minh City (street food).
On the second trip, I invited a group of 10 friends (non-Vietnamese) who all loved it. Of course, the naysayer is my mother who came with the mission of proving my father and I wrong that it was great pho. Let's just say, she ended up writing a review (it may be her first review on Google). Quality ingredients, generous portions, great service and more importantly, the right flavors.

From Houston to NC to visit my daughter, I tried all 3 Pho restaurants but compared to Houston, I was not satisfied until I ate Pho at Goji Bistro. Very surprised and satisfied because the broth is sweet, rich, and not greasy. The bowl of pho is very high quality because it has a lot of meat. The meat is tender and sweet. The pad thai dish is also very delicious, the wonton soup bowl also has white chicken and fresh mushrooms. The restaurant looks elegant, elegant and clean. Service is quick and friendly.

Food was great,service not so much .server kept disappearing and we had to catch him to get refill,order .he was generally absent the other guy had to get him and we paid him instead. At one time they were sitting in side room on phone,never checked on us . Don't mean to rant .the food was noce
The Mongolian shrimp lunch meal is really tasty. If you're not a green onion person then make sure to ask for it without cause it's a good portion of it on there. The shrimp was battered really nicely and had some crunch. I'd order this entree again.
Love the amount of space in there. I visited during slower hours so service experience was fine. I actually appreciate how patient the waiter was because my party and I took a while to order with work having to be discussed before eating haha. ?

I was really excited the Gluten free menu has so many options and gets dropped off automatically. However the experience was awful only 2 employees running the front of house. The owner sat at a laptop at the bar playing EDM nightclub music (for reference we had dinner at 5:30 on a Sunday). When the food finally arrived after an hour plus wait the spring rolls were AWFUL and we still didn’t have our mains. Another long swath of time passed and the mains were never delivered we left. We waited over an hour and a half before throwing in the towel to leave and it wasn’t busy.

I don’t see this place staying open for much longer. Understaffed, owner can’t be bothered to help - much rather fool around on his laptop than actually serve customers. It doesn’t make sense to me if we got a table immediately, only to wait 40 minutes to get an appetizer and food…
Tacky music, slow service, mediocre food at best. Gluten free menu is their only saving grace in my opinion.

The food did not taste authentic. All the dishes seemed to have the same sauce. We ordered the spicy, eggplant and Kung pau chicken. Both were covered with a thick dark sauce and had no unique flavors. Will not return.
