The spring egg roll was crispy and dipping in the chili sauce kicked it up a notch. The restaurant was clean, cozy and very inviting atmosphere.

Disappointed- ordered due to an Uber Eats deal as I wanted to try this place seeing high reviews…read more Ordered the spring rolls $11.70 for what is 2 rolls cut in 3 pieces. It was good but not $11.70 good. $6-7 sure. Also ordered the chicken pad thai- medium spice arrived with zero spice. How does a Thai restaurant screw up spice? It was ok.. nothing to write home about. It arrived about 20 min after it was picked up- it was still hot. Portion wise- I'd say it was comparable to most places anymore.. enough for a meal and maybe small snack later. I probably won't order from there again. Too many good restaurants in the area to eat mediocre on a Friday night during non-peak hours. I doubt there was a rush on food.

The drunken noodles were super flavorful on their own, and they definitely weren't kidding about the spice level. We ordered level 4 spicy and they actually added real Thai chilies into the noodles. But the real star of the meal was the dessert. The sticky rice was sweet, soft, and warm, and the coconut milk on the side made it good enough to eat by itself. Pairing it with the ube ice cream just took it to another level -- the mix of warm and cold together was so good. I've never had sticky rice with ube ice cream before, but honestly it might be something I start ordering from now on. Our server was really nice and patient, especially since it took me awhile to decide what I wanted to order. I also didn't go during rush hour, so the service was quick and smooth. The place itself is on the smaller side, but it's perfect if you're on the go and need a quick bite for lunch or dinner.

From the start, the experience was excellent--we were seated right away, and our server came over promptly to get everything moving. Although the restaurant was busy, it was comfortable and not overly loud. As always, the food did not disappoint. I had a cup of Tom Kha soup with chicken, while my husband ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken. Both were perfectly spicy and absolutely delicious. We also shared a sausage appetizer, which was very good, and then split a shrimp and scallop entrée that was truly outstanding. I will definitely be ordering that again. I can't wait to go back.

My sister ordered the fried rice (also phenomenal) without peas, which we thought may not be possible due to being premade but our server (who was great) quickly assured us that'd be no issue.

The restaurant sets off cute date or special event night vibes with its trendy, inviting atmosphere. I love how the bar and main dining area are separated- you can either dine at the tables or go next door to hang out for drinks. We stopped by for a late lunch and were greeted warmly by our sweet waitress Mikayla. She was very helpful and patient with any questions we had with items on the menu. Service was stellar A+++ !!! Now onto the incredible FOOD: Bo Ne - filet mignon steak cubes & eggs (10/10): When an entree comes out sizzling & the aroma wakes you up- you know it has to be AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL & FANTASTIC! Spread the butter & pate on the toasted bread, then use it to soak up all the INCREDIBLE flavor explosion from the sizzling steak & eggs!!! *VOILA chef's kiss* (side note: I grew up in Houston & had Bo Ne fairly regularly & I honestly think Ba Chi elevates this dish to another realm!!!) Curry clams & fries (10/10): I was worried I wouldn't like it because I wanted mussels, which were unavailable. To my surprise, this dish was another great hit !!! The yellow curry flavors were unique - a bit of heat & spice but not overwhelming. Next time, I would ask for the fries to be served on the side so that they stay crispy! We really wanted to slurp down a gallon of the curry- it really was THAT good! Pro tip: get a side of vermicelli noodles (or rice), mix it with the leftover curry & proceed to gobble it all up if you have room left in your tummy! Spicy lemongrass chicken wings (8/10): These were good-sized wings that packed a little punch with the spice! We enjoyed the spicy lemongrass flavor of the crispy wings (be aware that not everyone has a palate for lemongrass- they have other flavors available for those less adventurous eaters). DRINK: Dragon Slay-Her: what a gorgeous & beautiful drink - the dragon fruit margarita was a specialty cocktail I've never had before and I LOVED IT !!! (10/10) Their espresso martini with ube foam is another popular cocktail & I look forward to trying it on my next visit! TL; DR: If you're wanting to FIRE UP and add some PIZAZZ & all that jazz to your fabulous foodie life, then make lunch/dinner/drink plans for Ba Chi! You'll have the best dining experience there with quality food and top notch service! We LOVEDDD & enjoyed our dining experience today!

I ordered the shrimp pho and was pleasantly surprised. The broth was light but still packed with flavor. It didn't feel heavy, but it still hit the spot. They were generous with the shrimp. They were a good size and there were plenty of them. I left full and satisfied. The space itself is cute and tucked into a tiny strip mall, nothing over the top but still a nice vibe for a casual meal. Service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only downside was that they were out of quite a few items. The staff mentioned it was because we came on the later side of the early evening (around 4 pm), which felt a little early to be running low, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, a solid find and I'll return the next time I'm in town.
