    Shrimp Fried Rice
    Jennifer W.

    Food is fresh but the wait is crazy! Very casual inside dining. This establishment also has a drive thru and a large parking lot with big pot holes so be careful there. I ordered the fish/shrimp combo, shrimp fried rice and happy family with an egg roll. I believe business has picked up here because of social media because it's never been so busy. I think it's worth the wait, definitely a good portion size and always fresh cooked to order.

    Best Chinese food around! Always hot and fresh. My go to spot when I want a good lunch.

    Tried towards the end of the lunch special, assuming that's why my fried rice was dry and old? Instagram brought me here, I'd rate it a 2star and nothing more. It's equivalent of mall food. I didn't like the eggroll filling. Left a weird aftertaste in my mouth after each bite.

    Hot food that the owner threw on us causing burns and the police and paramedics were called.

    This is the 22 year old "owner", she gaslit me about my order, caught an attitude, and threw food on me and my children causing BURNS. We had GREAT experiences until today. SHAME ON YOU!!

    They could START, by seasoning the food ! The beef was chewy, they only put (3) shrimp in the order... the wontons were bone dry. The combination fried rice was gummy.

    Food wasn't the best. The young lady who was at the drive thru was also not the friendliest. I haven't been inside to see how the ambiance is because i stopped going after that first interaction.

    3 fish, 6 shrimp, fries & salad... Yummy!

The restaurant has vibrant decor and murals that transport you to a diverse neighborhood. Every employee who helped us was approachable and kind, checking on us after we were seated and served, going as far as taking photos for us when we asked because we were celebrating our anniversary, and bringing out things we asked for once we were seated. It seems basic to say that, but the warmth and kindness was felt from each employee we interacted with, and I don't want to gloss over their good service. Our order: - Angry Pho Birria Platter - Elote + Chips - Strawberry Lemonade - Ube Horchata The pho (a little spicy) and bao (a little sweet with super tender meat) will make you want to do a happy dance. The wings could have been a little crunchier but they were sauced so it's understandable. The Bang Bang and Spicy Chili flavors were delicious. The Birria tacos were good, but we loved everything else on the platter more. The Elote + chips starter was authentic and yummy. The chips felt like an odd pairing, but it tasted good together! The Strawberry Lemonade was sweet but refreshing. The Ube Horchata was creamy and delicious. Not too sweet, and the ice didn't ruin it. Know before you go: - Arrive early! We got there when they opened at 11 AM on a Friday. Two other parties were already there and waiting to dine, as well. By 11:30 AM, a nice-sized crowd had rolled in. They had no problem getting everyone served quickly, though. - You order and pay first, grab a seat, and then they bring your food out to you. - Yes, the platter sizes are sufficient for two hungry adults to fill up on! You might even have trouble finishing it all. - Their online menu has awesome pictures of each platter option. The platters look smaller in person than in those photos, but as I said, you will definitely get full. - My husband, who is not a pho lover, loved the Angry Pho. - They are closed on Saturdays and Mondays. - They have gluten-free and halal options.

The dumplings were not only delicious but also the cutest little dumplings ever. We also tried the garlic fried rice, and it was amazing. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our waitress was fantastic and paid attention to the little details. My friend was making sure our order didn't include mushrooms, and she took the time to ask if it was due to an allergy so she could make sure everything was safe. That level of care really felt like going above and beyond. Great food, great prices, and outstanding service. We'll definitely be back!

The atmosphere is pretty slick. A Photo Booth like space, nice bathrooms and flexible seating to accommodate both large parties and small parties. Reasonable prices that allow you to try new things and enjoy other things that you may be familiar with. All of the items that we had are in the photos, but the creative presentation is what stood out most! Cute bao buns, chicken served with ramen to allow the customer to enjoy it as they would like, and good sized portions. My only ask would be for more broth with the ramen dishes. The noodle to broth ratio was just slightly off. 9/10 would recommend.
