I loved the extensive menu options, and was delighted to see they have my favorite boba tea option, a coconut taro smoothie w black boba.

i absolutely ADORE this place. this was my second time here and both times have been just amazing…read more the sweet lady who runs the front register is just so kind and welcoming, and so is the staff in the kitchen. each time i've eat here, they've been so attentive and appreciative of everyone who stops by for a meal. this time around, i wanted to try the báhn mí with the golden tofu. i also got a side of curry and a side of broccoli. this was a DELICIOUS sandwich. i used the curry to dab onto the tofu for extra flavor and let me just say i was not disappointed in the slightest. the lychee and strawberry fruit tea was very refreshing as well and had pieces of real fruit, not just syrups. my mother was a bit overstimulated by the echo of noise (there was a small gathering when we arrived and their voices bounced around the walls easily and made them sound louder than they would have otherwise), due to the high ceilings i imagine, but overall this restaurant is well kept and very clean. i can't wait to keep coming back here to find my new favorite item, this place hasn't missed yet. 10000/10, highly recommend!

It is within walking distance from class and I hadn't been before but was saved in Yelp as one of my "want to try" restaurants. First off, the warm greeting was so nice as we were the first customers of the day (a few minutes before opening). We were seated promptly and the server was quick to check in with us. I had read about the ambiance before hand and was very intrigued to see if it would be too "dark" to see with my older eyes but it was actually perfect and I enjoyed the red light, intimate feel. We decided to split the chicken curry ramen and edamame, fries and she also got a single slider. Let me tell you, nothing short of yummy perfection. THOSE FRIES, the flavors of the curry, alllllllll the things. Excellent find and kudos to the daughter for the recommendation.

Everything was incredible! I got the ramen and shared the chicken sliders, and both were so good…read more The sliders were crispy and packed with flavor, and the ramen was probably my favorite part. The noodles were SO good, and the broth was really tasty. Plus, the portions were generous, so you definitely get a lot of food. The ambiance was adorable too. I sat in the back area, and it was such a vibe! Customer service was also incredible. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Between the food, atmosphere, and service, I really enjoyed this place and would definitely come back!

Had an opportunity this week while in the Smokey's to visit Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams…read more Had a wonderful visit with Allen Benton and his son Darrell. He took us on a guided tour of his facility. We got to see the hams in the process of curing and the storage rooms. Also got to see the staff processing bacon and packaging it. We picked up a country ham, several packs of bacon, smoked sausage and some smoked cheddar cheese. We just loved the place and the hospitality! Very nice, clean facility!

We called ahead before coming because I have a gluten allergy and wanted to make sure there were…read moresafe options for me. We were told over the phone that the ramen was gluten-free as long as it was made with the rice noodles. Based on that information, we drove over with our family, including a very hungry child. After we were seated, I told our waitress that I was gluten-free and that we had called ahead about the menu. Instead of letting us know right away that there was an issue, she went to speak with the manager, and we spent about 10 minutes looking over the menu and deciding what to order. When the manager finally came to our table, she told us they actually did not have any gluten-free options. I explained that we had specifically called ahead and were told the ramen was gluten-free with rice noodles. She clarified that only the plain rice noodles themselves were gluten-free--not the ramen or broth. That is very different from what we were told over the phone. I then asked whether I could order a poke bowl with white or brown rice. She said the rice was not gluten-free because it was prepared with sugar and vinegar. Since sugar and vinegar are typically gluten-free ingredients, I asked for clarification, but she simply repeated that she does not make any of the rice gluten-free and was unwilling to help identify anything on the menu that I could safely eat. I do appreciate that she refused to serve me something if she believed it wasn't safe. As someone with a gluten allergy, I'd much rather be told "no" than end up having an allergic reaction. However, the entire situation could have been avoided if we had been given accurate information over the phone or if we had been informed immediately after being seated instead of waiting while we looked through the menu. The biggest frustration was the wasted trip and wasted time. We drove over specifically because we were told there were gluten-free options, only to leave hungry with our family after sitting there with a hungry child. Better staff training and clearer communication about gluten-free options would go a long way in preventing this from happening to someone else.

The pho broth is exactly what it should be: rich, clear, deeply flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. You can tell it's been given time and attention. The summer rolls were also super fresh, but super bland, probably skip next time. If you're craving a genuinely good bowl of pho in Knoxville, Pho 99 is absolutely the place to go.

Its pretty quiet in here just after the lunch rush aside from the music and slurps of other patrons. The lighting is not overbearing and theres lots of natural light which I can appreciate. The food is cooling down , but after a taste test..I can say its about to be really good. They were out of a lot of the drink options like the fresh lemonade and teas that the menu offers. I don't drink sodas and syrup pumped drinks so that was a bit of a bummer. Fresh lemonade is my jam so I was both bummed and excited to learn they ran out a few hours ago.
