My husband and I ordered egg noodles special and summer rolls for dinner. They were excellent- just like the ko po squid, salt and pepper smelt, seafood tom yum soup, galangal beef, and the twice cooked pork. This is our go-to restaurant. We have been eating here for years. Not only is the food excellent, but are also the service and the cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

Good Asian fusion; happy to find it as one of the few local eateries open on Memorial Day. Extensive menu. Tasty noodle soup dish.

I had the coconut noodles with pork-yum! My Dad has the pad Thai with shrimp and enjoyed. It's a little hard to find, but with the effort! read more

We never leave here unhappy, or still hungry. Food quality and portions are outstanding, and very sensibly priced. Service is friendly and efficient, and the dining room may not be fancy, but it's comfortable. Absolutely a go-to in Mishawaka. read more

The vegetarian pho with tofu, veggies, and Saigon tapioca noodles is pure comfort in a bowl. Fragrant steam rises as it arrives, and every bite of silky noodles, tender tofu, and vibrant vegetables in the rich broth feels soothing and satisfying. A truly calming, joyful meal. read more

Cre-Asian - Panang Curry Chicken, Spring Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

Very good pho with fresh ingredients. I've had it several times and haven't been disappointed.

Excellent authentic food. Solid service. Convenient location to ND campus. Clean and comfortable dining room.

Fusion! I ordered egg rolls (2), cre-Asian roll (2), appetizer platter, lunch sized pad see ew and spicy hue pho. The egg rolls were okay, it's grounded chicken which is interesting. I enjoyed the cre-Asian rolls which is not a regular wonton wrapper but The fish sauce dip it comes with was tasty. The appetizer platter was good, gives you a chance to try a bunch of different things. The lunch sized pad see ew and spicy hue pho which I got both with chicken and medium spicy heat but I didn't feel any in the pad see ew but you can definitely taste it in the hue! read more

There is a couples Vietnamese restaurant around the South Bend area. And Cre-Asian is being one of them. Beside some of the typical offering of Vietnamese food, they also have a mix of Chinese food and it gear toward Taiwanese specifically. One of my favorite from the appetizer would be the Cre-Asian Rolls. It is packed with spicy ground pork, shrimp, carrots, white onions, green onions, clear noodles and taro. One thing special from this is they used the rice paper instead of the typical egg roll wrapper. After slightly deep fried, the rice paper add another level of crispiness to it. Along with the sweet garlic sauce, super yummy. Other than the Cre-Asian Rolls, the Chicken Satay and Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken is pretty good as well. From the noodles soup perspective, I tried the Hue Spicy Noodles Soup and they are decent. They may left out a couple ingredients from an typical authentic bowl of Hue Spicy Noodles Soup, but the flavor of the broth can make up to it. I would prefer the noodles itself can cook a couple more minutes, as it is still on the harder side. Overall, I would say they are pretty decent compare to others in the local area. Of course we can not compare it to some offering in the big city and some of the ingredients that they use can be improve. But if you are looking for a spot for your temporary Vietnamese/Chinese food craving, they are not a bad option in the South Bend area. read more

This is our go-to place after Notre Dame home games. So much so that the staff recognizes us and knows our orders! We love the CreAsian Bowl, the Pho Special, the Wonton with Egg Noodle Soup, the Tapioca Noodles, Pork Chop Rice Bowl - we have never had a bad meal here! The portions are massive and the prices reasonable. Washrooms and dining room clean. Save room for a smoothie for dessert! read more

The food was really delicious, and the service was excellent. Everything was reasonably priced. I used to go to Bowl of Pho, but I'm glad I made the switch to Cre-Asian. I'll definitely be returning! read more

I live in California so the flavor of the food is different here but this is still a very solid place. Based on their hip menu items I was surprised how unassuming and modest the interior of the restaurant is. It is warm and inviting to have a nice family meal. The service is a bit slow but they have a lot of orderers to juggle. It's quite a popular place for a good reason. I only got pork and shrimp spring rolls but they were delicious. read more

I was passing through South Bend and found this exceptional Asian restaurant. I had a lunch of Szechuan dumplings and Taiwanese beef noodle soup. Both were delicious. I saw many other things on the menu that I'd love to try if I pass through South Bend again. The staff were courteous and the ambiance was nothing fancy, but pleasant. read more

I graduated from ND this year but for the four years I was there, Cre-Asian was my go to. The food was consistent and very good. The vibe in the restaurant was always positive and upbeat. The servers were really kind and quick. Most of my meals were delivery. They handle their own delivery and the guy is very fast. I even ordered on my birthday one year and despite the crazy snow, they still delivered and the food was still hot. My favorite meals were the pho special, curry fried rice, and frozen chai tea with boba. The large pho is also massive so if you're really hungry, I recommend sizing up. read more

PROS: They have a lot of options. Thai food, Vietnamese food, + Chinese food. The service is very nice and friendly. The staff remember names and faces very well, which makes regulars feel great and want to keep coming back! The inside is well organized and clean enough to make it feel not too fancy. The workers speak mandarin; which is a plus for those working on their Chinese listening skills. The Food comes out fast and is Hot to the touch. CONS: They do not have Asian music playing. When most eat a certain foods they usually want to feel immersed in the culture. The Food is GREASY! While traveling the world I can not recall Asian food this greasy. The PHO is not legit at all. If you think this is legit PHO you need to visit ( PHO-ANN) in Nashville TN! All other foods are good except the Vietnamese food. read more

I started with an order of spring roll which came with 2 roll's sorry ate one before I took the picture. Then I ordered the Cre-Asian Rice plate which was served with a nicely prepared pork chop, fried egg, Chinese sausage, and salad served on a bed of white rice and a pickled dipping sauce. The Ambiance was quite nice with friendly workers. I really enjoyed the food I've ordered, and surely would return. read more

According to my Chinese friends Cre-Asian has the best Chinese food in South Bend, and for the most part they prefer it to Ichiban Golden Dragon. I've only been once and was not impressed with the quality of the dishes I tried. My Vietnamese friend likes their bun bo hue - she said it's not authentic at all but the taste is good. She also says that a lot of the dishes on their Vietnamese menu are not Vietnamese at all (but it's possible that they also taste good anyway). They have a spiciness scale of 1-10, but it's on the mild side. We got our spicy dishes at level 8 and it was probably more of a 3 or 4. Recommended: -Eggplant and salty fish with pork ($11.95) - nothing mind-blowing but pretty good. It's pretty much what the name suggests. -Three cup chicken or rice wine chicken - I haven't tried these but friends have told me that they're good and very similar to each other. OK: -Mapo tofu ($8.50) - more like soft tofu in chili sauce (no meat), without any Sichuan peppercorn. The flavor is fine but I think Ichiban's version is better. -Ginger chicken ($10.95) - pretty average stir-fried chicken. Not recommended: -Pork intestine with preserved vegetables ($11.95) - I'm not sure why but the intestine was extremely soft to the point where it felt like skin. -Seafood combo ($13.95) - the seafood quality is not good. It contains assorted seafood including shrimp, squid, and fish balls, much of which was soft and mushy. read more

Stopped in recent to grab a bite for lunch. Not only was the food excellent but the dipping sauce for the egg rolls was 100% better than the last time :) Staff was very friendly and fast too. read more

I asked for an eight spiciness, and it was not spicy at all. I felt that my dish was very sweet for a dish that shouldn't have been sweet.

Great food and service. Eating in or take out you won't be disappointed. Chicken Pho bowl, spring rolls, and crab rangoon are favorites done well. read more

Amazing food and the most friendly service you'll find! This is a hidden gem! Highly recommend the Beef Pho and Pad Thai! ~Nurse Alicia read more

Cre-Asian - Chicken Pad Thai - Vietnamese Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

I don't want to give a 5 star review to keep this place to myself, heehee, but they absolutely absolutely hands-down deserve it. The pho here is beyond delicious and I've had a smattering of other really yummy dishes here, but downright WEEKLY CRAVE my go-to, pho satay extra beef level 7 spicy no cilantro. Always start with crab rangoons. On a realllly hungry day I finish the lunch portion, but dinner is massive. Always leftovers. The restaurant is clean and service is prompt even when they're full. This is one of my favorite locally owned places because there's nothing else like it. And to add to the delightful experience here, I adore the servers - Olivia is a proper gem and a genuinely kind and client-centric person with a warm welcoming demeanor. She remembers details with a genius-level memory that I am deeply envious of. She absolutely elevates our experience every time we dine here and draws us back in wanting to visit her like a close friend. Customer service is just not like this at a casual restaurant almost ANYWHERE anymore. So don't delay or hesitate. You'll find a beyond satisfying meal and experience at Cre-Asian, and find your brain and stomach longing to return for service with a smile and good eats. read more

Just wanted to jump on here to write an update. My first review was back in 2018 when I was just passing through and the food was amazing! Fast forward to now, I now live in the area and this place is by far my favorite place to eat. Their veggie pho is amazing. My mom actually got the chicken pho and said that she liked the broth of the veggie pho better. I also love their drunken noodles and their sesame tofu (not on the menu but they will make it). I appreciate that they have an entire menu just for vegetarian options. That is honestly what brought me in the door. But they have great meat options as well. I've brought several non-vegetarians here and they all loved it. Anyway, I could probably go on and on about this place, but just know it is amazing and you should try it. read more
