Party of 6 Thursday 5:30pm Immediate seating…read moreWe ate here at the suggestion of a relative of a friend that has lived in Waco for five years. This is a spot they frequent often since his wife has dietary needs that the Clay Pot can support. The menu is a bit overwhelming with choices, so we started with appetizers: steamed chicken dumplings and the Clay Pot sampler. I enjoyed a couple of the steamed chicken dumplings with the house sauce which is a bit sweet but quite tasty. I ordered Bun Bo Hue soup with tofu. It was spicy and delicious. The tofu was fresh and cut into generous pieces. I ate as much as I could because no one wanted any and there is only one size. Our waiter Issac was amazing.

At first we were not going to stay for dinner, we were going to just have appetizers. I am so happy…read morewe stayed. I had the best Spicy broccoli and I finished the whole thing!!! Sooo yummy!

Do not eat here if you enjoy good Vietnamese food. Go to sugar spice across town Important Update!!! I spent 1.5 hours retching my guts out due to food poisoning. Worst $21 I ever spent. Thanks Jack Noodles

This place is fantastic! Might be the best Asian we have tried in Waco so far. The Dim Sum options…read morewere very good and the general Tso was not too sweet and head plenty of chicken. The garlic chicken was a little too salty for me, but my wife didn't have any complaints. They start you out with some wonton chip like items with sweet and sour sauce. The crab puffs are honestly the best I think I have had and the egg drop soup was pretty good too. Honestly, the prices are great for what you get. We ordered a lot of food and it was right at $53...would have been more elsewhere. The service is super friendly and attentive and the ambiance is a little tight but not bad on a Sunday for lunch. I will say it would get crowded pretty easily, but it's worth going to!

I had not eaten food from this restaurant in a while as I found a couple of other places in town…read morethat I enjoy more. But, I must say, that the combination soup, which had shrimp and chicken and veggies and more was delicious. And, the pu pu platter was absolutely a meal in itself and excellent value, very tasty, and something I will definitely order again soon. I appreciated that they included, without my request, soy, hot mustard, and duck sauce, along with several bags of very tasty and crispy chips for the soup. I thought it was good value too.

We stumbled upon Sugar Spice when traveling down south, and it was so delicious and fresh! I…read moreordered the vermicelli noodle bowl, and my partner ordered pho. We would definitely come back :)

Why only three stars? I averaged down as follows:…read more This place gets five stars for the taste of its food, which was truly outstanding. Obviously, that's very important. I had a pork banh mi sandwich along with a vermicelli pork, bowl and an extra eggroll. Without question, the best Vietnamese food I have had in Waco and this place would situate itself very well in a bigger city, such as Austin, based on the taste of the food. Simply delicious! But, portion size in terms of the meat was inadequate. Incredibly small portion of meat on the vermicelli pork although the overall dish was filling, I did not buy noodles and some veggies, I bought a pork dish. Same was true of the bahn mi sandwich. Not enough meat. Unfortunately, I would have to say that I do not believe this place offers good value for the money I n Waco, particularly for the pork vermicelli bowl.

Located inside the Union FOOD Hall !!…read more Love their restaurant's name which has a catchy original slogan phrase as well !!! Emmanuel gave an excellent service taking our order with a cheerful demeanor!!! I ordered their Beef Pad See Ew which had that signature popular flavor of a Thai stir fried noodles. Will surely come back and try the Pad Thai as well as the Panang Curry which my daughter-in-law ordered...but.... will not be too spicy for me for sure!!!

It's okay! Super pricey for their portions…read more Staff are not very friendly and I overheard them talking poorly about a customer who had just placed a phone order.

My 12 year old loves this place! Cannot believe Waco has a Chinese restaurant with homemade…read morenoodles. The dining experience is sit down but feels more like fast food. The food comes out fast but it didn't even feel hot. Perhaps they make their food early in the day and then heat it up? Not sure. The sliced and stir fried noodles are both good: I did add some chili sauce to add flavor/spicy. The hibachi steak is delicious but chicken a little dry. Hibachi vegetables seasoned perfectly. Pan fried dumplings were also very good. General TSO chicken and fried rice good with decent flavor. The dishes are pricy but worth it if you are craving a variety of Chinese cuisine.

Everything about this place was so so good food and drinks amazing 10 out of 10 unfortunately I…read moredon't live in Waco but if I did, I'd be there all the time. I will definitely try to stop by as often as I can when I'm traveling through!! here's an updated menu for this location as well as some pictures as of the interior! Service was also very good!

Drink: I ordered a large peach green tea with boba, no ice,…read moreand it was fantastic. The tea was brewed beautifully , fresh, balanced, and not syrupy sweet like some other boba spots. The boba itself was perfectly chewy and just sweet enough to complement the drink, not overpower it. I also really appreciated that, even with no ice, they filled my cup completely to the top. Simple, thoughtful detail and it makes all the difference. Service: The staff here was genuinely kind and patient. I asked a few questions about sweetness levels and tea bases (I'm mindful about sugar intake), and they answered every one with care, no judgment, no pressure, no upselling. They made the drink exactly how I ordered it and didn't try to push other menu options on me. That respect and attentiveness go such a long way. Ambiance: Cha Community has such a warm, creative vibe, red brick walls, cozy coffeehouse energy, indie music, local art, and stickers that make the space feel personal and loved. The whole café smelled amazing, and you can tell they've put heart into the details. It's the kind of place that feels like a little pocket of calm and connection in the middle of the day. Overall: Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Waco. The experience was night and day, proof that quality, care, and consistency matter more than anything else. Refer to my Poppa Bear review if you want the comparison, but honestly, just come to Cha Community first.
