    Delicious Red Curry with chicken.
    Debbie G.

    Always delicious! You have to try the stuffed chicken wings. So unique and yummy. I do not know how they do it but they stuff a chicken wing with filing similar to an egg roll. It comes two really good dipping sauces. One very spicy, wow! The curry dishes are packed with so much flavor and ingredients. Don't let the building exterior deter you, all the food is amazing. Order at the counter, simple decor with friendly service. Or order takeout. Some of their food options are gluten free. This is a must stop for me when I am in Appleton.

    This is a small eatery but has some yummy items. I recommend trying the stuffed chicken wings. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. The stuffing is primarily rice noodles and cabbage. I prefer to order the wing spicy. The chicken itself is not spicy but you are given a very flavorful thai chili pepper sauce that is very tasty. The one thing I did not like was the nuoc cham (fish dipping sauce). It is too sweet and has little to no fish sauce in it. Parking: coming early as there are only a few parking spots near the building.

    Pho was good, a little salty but overall good. Pad Thai was very good, I'm picky with Pad Thai and I considered it tasty and not dry! :)

    Pad Thai

    First want to start with how kind the staff are!! They are very helpful and attentive. We decided to eat in and this place is fairly small but still welcoming. It was mid day on a Tuesday so not too busy but they did have several to go orders and other tables full inside. They're extremely fast getting food out however! We got the Thai iced tea, one chicken egg roll, one pork roll, two stuffed chicken wings (one for each of us), a pork pad Thai that ended up coming out with chicken instead (happy accident), and the chicken Thai pad see ew. I have had far too many egg rolls to admit to a number but the egg rolls here are TRULY THE BEST EGGROLLS IVE EVER HAD. The pork was my favorite of the two we tried but the chicken was just as good. They're perfectly proportional of filling to crispy and flaky exterior. They also come with sweet & sour sauce or spicy and they are AMAZING to mix together. I wish I had a photo to show but we devoured these. The stuffed chicken was DELICIOUS as well. Really not sure how they do these but clearly they are known for these and they are truly the bomb! The pad Thai was accidentally made with chicken but it was still delicious! The plate is much bigger than we thought so my partner only got through maybe half of this before getting a take away box. It was tangier than we expected with no spice but after adding the spicy sauce from the eggrolls it was perfect for his taste. Finally the Thai pad see ew was a welcome dish. The noodles were thicker than I'm used to but again no harm there. It also was a huge dish so maybe half way through got a box. This place is so good. I absolutely recommend stopping for some delicious eats. We saw some pho bowls and they are huge but look amazing. I can't imagine not finding something to like about this place.

    I've been going here for years and am shocked to have never written a review on this fantastic little family restaurant. While it doesn't look like much on the outside and doesn't have great parking, it makes up for it with excellent food. When you enter there is a great menu board. There are photos of each item. For those who are leery because of not being familiar with the names, the visual really helps. You order, pay and then wait for your food. If you are in a hurry, you might be disappointed; they can get super busy and sometimes you need to wait. The wait is worth it. They are known for their stuffed chicken wings. They are exceptional and I've never seen them anywhere else. They also offer spring rolls (my favorite) and three different flavors of egg rolls to get your meal started. I love their Pho Combo but I've had almost everything on their menu at one time or another. I've never been disappointed. If you like your food a bit spicier, ask and they will prepare it to your liking. I prefer to eat at the restaurant; however, I've also ordered food for take out many times. The food has been really good either way. If you are looking for a really good Asian meal, start here. I'd be surprised if you went away disappointed.

    Egg Rolls & Stuffed Chicken Wings

    I adore these stuffed chicken wings & egg rolls. This is a shining jewel and toe dip into the water that is Hmong cuisine. I hope they expand to other delicious entrees & appetizers they think could equally be as popular. Appleton needs the diversity and variety on the overall palette. I think with just a few adventurous cuisine explorers more people would be raving to eat and try Hmong food.

    The best Pad Thai I have ever had! Parking spots are very limited and eating area is really small. Otherwise, wonderful food.

    We decided to try this place as we love Asian food and have been meaning to come here for quite…read moresome time. The location is a good for the businesses in and around City Center. I follow their page on Facebook, which they update daily with the specials they are offering that day, so I saw they were offering vegan yellow curry. I was really looking forward to trying it. When we ordered, they told me that they ran out of rice so the curry wasn't available. I was really disappointed at that point and almost decided not to order anything at all. In the end, my boyfriend and I both ended up ordering the banhnini, a bahn mi panini. Both of our sandwiches came with chips as part of the meal. The bahnini was overall was very tasty. It had a nice mix of fresh pickled veggies and fresh cilantro on it, which helped cut through heavy meat and cheese on the sandwich. The only thing I didn't like about the sandwich was how spicy it was due to the slices of jalapeños (with seeds!) that were added to the sandwich. It's important to note that I am a bit sensitive to spice so I had to pull the slices of pepper off to make the sandwich edible. My boyfriend, however, enjoys spicy food and found the peppers to be a nice addition. The sandwich also had a good sauce on it that added good flavor as well. Our food came out within 10 mins of ordering and was hot. There were not many seats available in the area around the restaurant but that is understandable as it is more of a take away/ to-go place. Our overall experience was positive. The staff was friendly. The food was fresh, tasty, and fast. The reason for 3 stars was for lack of rice for the curry. I have never been to an Asian restaurant that runs out of rice! We will go back in the future to give them another chance.

    This is my favorite lunch spot! Their noodle pho is the best thing on the menu in my opinion (and…read moreyou get a huge tub full of it), followed closely by the honey sriracha chicken. Only complaint I could possibly have is wanting more sweet and sour sauce in the container with the egg rolls! Friendly staff, quick service so I get to spend my lunch break eating my food rather than waiting for it.

If you're like me and believe "there can never be enough cilantro" yes yes yes. I love the abundant veggies. And for me--what makes a difference between a real bahn mi and a total faker--the bread. And they delivered on a great bread with chewy crust and soft insides. Everything felt super fresh. My friend and I were divided on the stuffed chicken wings. I felt they were a little small and overcooked. He loved them and said they were the most flavorful ones he's ever had. It does take a while to get your food (10-15 mins) while you're waiting around in the store. But it seems like a lot of things are made fresh to order by the sole chef and the quality is much better than a sandwich that has been sitting around all day. Can't wait to come again to this gem!
