    Meh. It wasn't *bad* per se, but I just wasn't impressed. I got the steak (not filet) and shrimp with half rice and half noodles. It was over $20 with a 20% tip. It was packaged nicely and a decent portion but everything was lacking flavor. The steak had no seasoning and the shrimp were kind of small and just not great quality. I didn't love the rice or noodles - again, lacking flavor. I also was not a big fan of the shrimp sauce. It was kind of runny and overly sweet. I placed an online order & it was easy and ready in 15-20 minutes. Staff were fine but not overly friendly. For the price point, I unfortunately wouldn't come here again. There are cheaper, tastier options all around.

    Teriyaki shrimp rice carrots and vegetables. So good

    This was my first time trying this place. The previous reviews are not so favorable but a friend of mine ate here and said it was delicious. I tried it today and our food was absolutely wonderful. I had the jumbo shrimp, steamed rice, carrots and vegetables. My friend had the scallops with noodles and veggies. Both were really great. I would definitely go back.

    My boyfriend took me here for lunch, neither of us having been here before. I thought the food was delicious! The serving sizes were decent, and I felt full and didn't eat much of the rice. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is because I asked for noodles instead of rice, which was one of the options for no extra charge. I wasn't so pressed about this to the point that I'd ask for a new plate, and the rice tasted good regardless.

    Grilled chicken, steak and shrimp hibachi plates with spring rolls. The ginger and shrimp sauce is really good. Variety of portions of meat and vegetarian options as well. Fast and easy meal.

    Jumbo Shrimp and Chicken 9 small shrimp 6 small chunks of chicken Vegetables were good Rice was stale
    John J.

    I ordered shrimp and chicken and the only had jumbo shrimp and chicken for 16.50 on lunch menu. I received 9 small shrimp and less chicken. Rice was stale. Very disappointing. Should have known when the restaurant was empty. Had to clean my own table and chair.

    Chicken and steak
    Jamal S.

    The food was good. But I will point out that for 12 bucks they should fill the plate with rice. Would go again if needed

    Hibachi Chicken and Shrimp

    Great experience. Easy pick up process and wonderful flavor. The ginger and mustard sauces def complete the meal so don't forget those. Noodles were wonderfully cooked too . 5/5

    Shrimp hibachi style with mixed veggies and fried rice. Came with shrimp sauce and sweet carrots!! Very reasonable price!

I can't remember which one I order but my bao bun didn't really have must flavor to it but the good amount of crunch to it. My service was great very laid back and patient. Overall I had a good time and would love to see the other options of the menu. I feel like their specialities are the more fusion items they offer. I would definitely try this place again and recommend you give this place a try.

    Tucked behind Harper Hills Common business center close to Harris Teeter…read more The restaurant is decorated beautifully and it is very clean. They have Malaysian food and a specialty menu for khmer food. Khmer food is not knowned much in the east but its beginning to be more learned about and popular. There food is rich in flavor and there cuisine is mostly known for there use of fresh herbs, coconut milk and aromatic spice paste;known as kroeung(lemon grass paste). I decided to try some entrees from the Khmer menu. I tryed the Malaysian Roti appetizer with side curry. It is so so delicous. The curry is tasty too but a little too sweet for my taste. Main entrees I tryed was the chicken kroeung (sour lemongrass soup) and the braised pork meat on bone cooked in soy sauce( Malaysian style but Khmer people have a similar dish). The chicken kroeung is soup for the soul, filled with alot of green veggies and best eaten with white rice. The braised pork meat is great too. Cooked just right and seasoned good. Its not sweet or salty. Usually I would try braised meat in soy at other restaurants either it would be way too sweet or salty but they made theres just right. Now the Southeastern asian cooking is not for everybody or those who have only tried chinese or japanese food. If you'd like to try something different but oh sooo delicous,khmer cusine is for you!! The staff is very welcoming,friendly and informative. Food came out hot,quick and tasty(bursting of aromatic flavors). I met the owner too. He mentioned he also have a donut shop called Intown donuts and Boba tea..down the road on Jonestown Road. Will definitely dine here again and try there other menu items. Next time am going to try the donut shop before I come here since it closed earlier.

There are some good Pho restaurants but…read morethey don't serve Banh Mi usually and when they do it's not quite the authentic version I'm looking for. I had the Banh Mi at What Da Pho in the past and remember it was good so that's what I ordered this time. Additionally we ordered crab wontons and summer rolls. The restaurant is a little hidden but if you park in the parking structure adjacent to the restaurant it's super easy to get inside. First impressions are it's quiet- no music in the dining room, and the decor is sort of an afterthought with scotch tape holding LED lights to the walls and some Asian inspired pictures but not very well thought out. It's Ok, I'm not coming for the decor. The service is a little lacking. They are giving the bare minimum here so don't expect your server to be too friendly. The crab wontons and summer rolls arrived quickly. The crab wontons were super hot and crispy right from the deep fryer. They were filled with a delicious imitation crab and cream cheese mixture and when dipped in the sweet chili sauce they were exactly the thing I was craving. The summer rolls were equally as fresh and delicious. The filling of cold rice noodles, crisp lettuce and shrimp then dipped in the accompanying peanut sauce was just as delicious. We ordered one pork and one beef Banh Mi. The first thing I noticed was how plentiful the meat was in each one. Usually it's a light sandwich but these were very hefty in comparison to others I've had. My meat was very savory and had a very tender texture, almost like pot roast. It was also the juiciest pork I've ever had in a Banh mi. The picked vegetables were also really good but both our sandwiches were missing the jalapeno I've come to expect. My husband really enjoyed his beef one as well but we both noticed how the bread lacked that crusty flaky quality that Vietnamese baguettes normally have. This was more of a sub roll with a chewy texture and softer crust. The flavors were great, I just missed the textures I have come to expect in an authentic Banh mi. Our spot in Greensboro will still be my favorite but when I don't want to trek out that far, I can get my fix at What Da Pho.

We met our youngest son and his girlfriend there for Sunday lunch. Very few cars in the parking lot when we arrived At maybe 12:20.A table was no problem. Which so many restaurants being closed on Sunday unless it's Fast food or Asian or Mexican in this particular part of Ashboro. Maybe 25 or so people in and the place would definitely hold more.We were greeted with a smile and told to seat ourselves We were given our menu and our drink order was taken.This establishment had some amazing food. But I couldn't give them 5 stars because of the slow service. When our tea and water we had had plenty of time to chose our food. I chose chicken LoMien and Crab Wontons for an appetizer.My wife picked the sesame chicken with rice and an egg roll. Our son's girlfriend chose fried Rice with pot stickers as an appetizer and our son had fried rice with chicken and spring rolls as an appetizer..Now is when the waiting period started. It took two people to bring our tea and water. After awhile a server brought out our son's spring rolls and my wife's egg roll. The a different server brought out my crab wontons.A few minutes later the dumplings found its way to our table. Now as I stated right from the get go the appetizer's were delicious and piping hot with a very good dipping sauce.My wife mentioned right off her egg roll was delicious and she's very fond of egg rolls. Instead of bringing our meal out on a tray it came out one plate at a time.When we Finally had our food sitting on the table I basically could have eaten most of mine before my son who was the last to receive his.Now again the food was delicious. No complaints from any of the four of us.As we were eating a party of 6 was beside us it was the same thing. I kept telling my son who has a culinary degree that I smell chicken wings. He would look at me sorta weird like. Well with that being said. Slowly their appetizers started coming out. Several had some bowls of soup. The Bowles were a good size. But just like my nose was telling me one in that group had an appetizer of some really good looking chicken wings. I know on my next trip I will definitely be trying those good looking wings. But now back to our experience. The servings were a nice proportion. The food was excellent. The service was slow. It was 2:15 when we were paying our bill and waiting out the door.So basically we were there over an hour and a half.It's almost as though each dish was cooked one at a time. A person dropping by fro lunch may be pushed for time. Again the food and Appetizers were excellent. The tab was just a bit over $93.00 dollars. I hate I forgot to take a picture of the delicious appetizers.

Since it was Valentine's Day and we knew many restaurants would be packed, we decided to give it a try, thinking a place like this might not be too busy. We were so wrong. It was overcrowded. Apparently, they were also offering a Valentine's Day buffet and hosting karaoke night on top of that. Because it was so crowded, tables were even set up in areas where people would normally walk through. We definitely didn't want the buffet but one of the staff members gave us a menu and told us they were also serving from their regular menu. We still considered leaving since the only available seating was at two small tables in the aisle but since we were already there, we decided to stay. It was very loud so we couldn't really ask the staff about the dishes. Not knowing what to order, we went with the combo plates. I got the Pork Sisig combo, and my husband ordered the Beef Tapa combo. The food was good overall. The flavors reminded us of a mix of Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine which was interesting. My sisig was a bit too salty, though. The only thing we weren't big fans of was the veggie rolls. We're still curious to try some of their other dishes so we'll probably give it another shot.

Hanes Mill Rd, this gem is housed in the same spot where the Hwy 55 burger joint was (I sure miss them). Parking is shared with other area merchants, and since it's quite a distance from Walmart's entrance, finding a space is not a problem. The restaurant is well-lit, comfortable and clean. We were promptly greeted and shown to a table. The menu had a great selection of ramen, bento, and sushi. While I was leaning towards sushi, I opted for the chicken katsu bento. The food came out quickly and I was pleasantly surprised at the portion size. Definitely a good value in my opinion. The only disappointment was their take on fried rice, which seemed more like a dirty rice you would get at Popeye's. Honestly, I think white rice would have been a better pairing for this dish. Great service throughout our visit and we're keeping this one on the short list.
