    We live in Beaumont come down to port Arthur for the weekend and had stop by this restaurant . We was so hungry and this the only restaurant that close by so we decided to stop here and give it a try . Seriously look at the bill see what we order and look at the amount of food we get . I was so mad cuz everything we order was 19-20$ but the food was literally so ass it taste nasty the pad Thai soup was smell and just want to throw up . Never ever come back here again I swear .

    Picture looks much larger than it is. Size wise, it's average

    Came here late as we drove in town to stay by the airport for a flight the next day. After checking in to the hotel, we almost went to Mexican as there were quite a few. But just few blocks further from our hotel was this place that was still open. We were the only one seated at this time as they had few others takeout. I got the combo pho, and wife got the chargrilled beef over rice. Pho, well, it was just ok. It had the proper amount of meat proportion to soup and noodles. It just wasn't quite there as the flavor was lacking a bit of that pho aroma expected. Now the chargrilled beef was spot on. The beef was tender and had a nice smoked aroma to it, but not too much to overpower the flavor of the beef. What I didn't know was the pho I ordered was about $3 or $3 more than what's listed on menu. I didn't notice it until after I left. For that, I felt cheated.

    Delicious And flavorful Pho

    I come to Port Arthur a few times a month for work and always stop here for lunch. It is so good. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I've had several of the dishes, and they are all very good, but I really love the rare beef pho and shaking beef plate. It is very flavorful, well-priced and the restaurant is clean. This is a really great spot in SETX! 10/10

    Beautiful menu

    Newly opened and welcomed Vietnamese cuisine kitchen to the area. Daylight hours offer a well lit, open, nice and tidy dining area. Smooth jazz in the background adds a calming effect and perchance what the owner is seeking but will never be as long as the tvs are on and their volume turned up. Beautiful menu reveals about the same basic options as other local Vietnamese restaurants. The owner answered our questions and served up the spring rolls, rice and vermicelli dishes we ordered. Even though we dined at an early dinner/late lunch hour there were a few tables occupied by others as well - a sign that this place is off to a good start. Once sated we agreed we'll be back.

    Crispy salted shrimp, one of the specials this week.

    Hands down, the best Vietnamese restaurant in the Golden Triangle! The service is great - friendly and prompt- and the owner always makes it a point to stop by my table to make sure everything is up to par (which it always is). She frequently offers samples of new dishes to try, which I love because I'll taste anything once. The restaurant is very clean and tables are bussed quickly. The food is almost an Asian fusion; many of the dishes have a Thai element, so it's like Vietnamese but with a spicy kick. My current favorite, which I've eaten on my last 3 visits, is the Spicy Salted Shrimp. It's not on the menu, but it's been on their special board and they always make it for me when I request it. I'll go ahead and warn you that this dish may not be for everyone, as the tail, the shell, and half the head (no eyeballs, don't freak out!) are left on. This locks in the flavor and it's the best tasting fried shrimp I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Ask for a cup of the lemongrass soup to go with it--I usually dip a spoonful of rice to soak it up. I'm even drooling over the thought of it now. The Banh mi are also delicious and served on authentic French bread with the traditional fixings. I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered the grilled pork spring rolls. They use purple mint! I've only had that at my Vietnamese friend's house. No other restaurant around here even offers it. Tl; dr: this place is all-around awesome and you're missing out if you haven't tried it yet. Clean, great service, and even better food.

    The Bahn Mi's are so good. The bread is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The food is good and so is the service.

    We were searching for an Asian restaurant to satisfy a craving for a flavorful hot soup and came…read moreacross Sweet Basil. Although the reviews were mixed, the majority were positive, and seeing that they offered pho, we decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, the host was warm and welcoming. The restaurant itself features pleasant décor and a comfortable atmosphere. There were a few families dining at the time, which created a relaxed and inviting environment. The host took our drink order promptly and brought the beverages out before our server came to take our food order. We ordered the special vermicelli plate, fresh spring rolls, and the ribeye pho. All of the dishes arrived at the same time. The vermicelli bowl, unfortunately, was not as flavorful as we had hoped; the sauce could have benefited from a bit more depth and seasoning. The pho was satisfactory, though we may simply be accustomed to a more robust, authentic flavor profile. During the meal, our server checked on us several times. We did need to mention an issue with the shrimp in the vermicelli plate, and he handled it professionally by removing the item from our bill, which we appreciated. The service overall was attentive and courteous. It's possible that because we visited closer to closing time, the broth and proteins may not have been at their peak freshness. Despite our mixed feelings about the food, the quality of service and welcoming atmosphere left a positive impression. We would consider returning, hopeful for a stronger culinary experience next time. So we can revise our review.

    One of my favorite places! Love the vegan crunch rolls, kung fu wings and honey-grilled shrimp…read morenoodle bowl:)
