    You're not going to get a better deal on food in idyllwild. That small plate is LOADED to the brim! Great place to get takeout. It can get backed up at times, especially towards the end of the day when some things are running low and they have to make more. But, the staff was accommodating and let me try some stuff while I waited, and even gave me some bottled water for my pup which was very kind of them. I had the bbq pork- it was a touch on the fatty side but the taste reminded me of all the bbq places in Chinatown. My friend got the orange chicken- this looked to be their most popular dish by far and her bowl was so big she could only eat half. I tried some of hers and you really can't go wrong with it. Really great stuff, keep doing what you're doing

Our daughter got the kids smiley face pancake with bananas and was elated when it arrived. $6 is a great price for kids breakfast. Coffee was fresh! Service was also excellent- stopped by often to see what we needed and how we were going. Super friendly, felt like we've been coming for ages. We loved it so much we are going to try to come again for lunch.

    My colleagues and I were in town for a conference and staying about a mile and a half from here. I…read moreran it and raved about the beef and crispy noodles and the calamari. On our journey to Palm Springs my team left the food choices to me since I'm picky. Lol. We showed up on a Wednesday night (note that they do not open Monday and Tuesday), around 4:40 PM. There was already a long line of individuals waiting to get in. There were about 15 people ahead of us. At opening, we were immediately sat down into the second dining room to the right of the restaurant. It gives a different vibe than the main room with its red bench seating and lantern ceiling. Although the benches were high, and the tables were a little low, we managed. Of course, we tried the complementary congee. Which I love, but my colleagues were not a big fan of. We ordered the calamari and the crispy beef noodle. We also ordered the shrimp and mango spring roll, the softshell crab and green papaya salad, and the pork belly lettuce wraps. The shining stars, for my colleagues were the calamari and crispy beef noodle. Followed by the shrimp and mango spring rolls and the softshell crab. The three of us did not enjoy the pork belly at all even though it came recommended. We actually only ate 2 pieces. The food overall was good although we wish we didn't get the pork or at least stuck to our goal of four main dishes. The waitress recommended we get one more and that's when we added the pork. Next time we will go with our gut instinct. One thing that was disappointing on this visit was that when we ordered drinks, one of them came out in a can. We were under the assumption it was a draft pour. For $14 it should have been noted that it is canned. The way that it is written into the menu no one would assume otherwise.

    Got in line 15 min before opening, and made it into the first wave of seating, albeit with the…read morerestaurant housing two spacious dining rooms, this isn't necessarily the flex one might think. Complimentary congee made for a comforting, home-y start to our Vietnamese fusion dinner, and our party of 2 followed with fresh rolls - we took our server's recommendation of LEMONGRASS PORK & DATE, CRISPY SHALLOT, RICE NOODLE, MIZUNA but weren't particularly impressed - and mains of PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN STUFFED CURRY BALL, RED BELL PEPPER, BASIL (gluten free) and SHAKING BEEF, PICKLED RED ONION, GARLIC, CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD, both of which we enjoyed much more. Wish there were dessert options!

The service was terribly slow but the servers were friendly. We had to wait a while to be seated but we noticed there were a handful of tables that just needed to be cleared We ordered the veggie egg rolls, veggie spring roll, and all got pho. Their spring roll was a bit pricy for it being veggie and it was the length of my iPhone. Their veggie egg rolls were pretty good but we were bummed they were out of the regular ones. I got the steak pho and the meat was dry and tough to eat. Their food was decent. I wasn't expecting much for a spot in Palm Springs.

    I have been wanting to come here for years, based on the great Eater 38 and Yelp reviews, and…read morefinally had the chance. We came with a group of 10 of us, so got to taste a lot of dishes. For appetizers, our favorites were the crispy ginger green beans (so flavorful and tasty!), the hand-rolled crispy egg rolls (yum!); and the crunchy tiger shrimp spring rolls (freshy and tasty; liked these better than the poached shrimp spring rolls or mango spring rolls). For entrees, our top favorites were the (1) chicken protein bowl w/ fresh seasonal vegetables in a delicious sauce w/ a touch of chili oil and tamari soy sauce; (2) the sweet tamari glazed salmon w/ wok fried rice noodles nad peanut tamarind sauce; and (3) the pad thai trio (w/ pork, chicken & shrimp). The tiger shrimp vermicelli w/ shrimp wontons (like a crispy egg roll), was good, but not the best I've had; noodles were thicker than usual. The spicy red curry ramen w/ pork belly had a very flavorful sauce, but the coconut broth made it quite heavy. The Vietnamese crepe w/ pork & shrimp was good, but had too many bean sprouts. The Fried Chicken was good, and very generous portion, but had a lot of breading and bones. Next time would like to try the pho. They also have a happy hour, currently 5-6 pm at the bar and outdoors w/ cocktail, wine, beer and appetizer specials. Friendly service and nice ambiance. Would definitely return!

Delightful menu surprises ensued and this time I was taken to a new culinary level with the Chili Osso Buca bowl. How could I ever have the traditional Osso Buca again having tried this transformative vision! We also were introduced to the lobster popcorn (I leave the description to your imagination...because the preparation will surprise you with culinary delight!). Fellow guests had their usual preferred bowls, a vegetarian pad Thai that was worth singing about and some wonderful grilled pork and veggies. Trying to plan our next visit to this gem in the desert. Hopefully it is soon. The service, as always is the very best, whether you are a regular or first time visitor, chairs are comfortable and indoor and outdoor seating satisfies every happy customer. Creative drink menu and desserts. C
