They weighed our bowls and seated us. Food came out shortly after! There is also a sauce bar with yummy options! I love that there are intestines, crown daisy, tendon, and lots of options of mushrooms! Definitely need to come back to try the dry malatang! I wish they made us pay when we weighed our bowls tho!! We pay after eating which gets a little chaotic if you're paying separately from a bowl. They also have a loyalty card! Will def be back

I ordered the Thai Boat Noodle and my husband got the Noodle King special. Honestly, it's basically…read morethe same broth, the king version just loads it up with brisket, tendon, tripe, and meatballs, so think of it as a fully stacked boat noodle. The broth is the star here. It's rich, flavorful, slightly sweet with a tangy kick, pretty sure there's some tangerine going on in there. Just a heads up, even "mild spicy level" has a noticeable heat, so if you're sensitive to spice, don't try to be brave... go no spice. The meats were surprisingly good, tender, not chewy, which is where a lot of places mess up. Noodles came out hot, no complaints there. We also got mango sticky rice and this is where they really sealed the deal. Mango was perfectly in season, juicy, sweet, not that sad sour off-season stuff. Sticky rice was soft and actually tasted like it was made fresh, not reheated from yesterday. Waitress was attentive and nice. Place itself is small, clean, modern, very mom-and-pop but done right, not rundown. I will definitely come back.

Ordered from here via third party app…read more Papaya Salad: it was okay. It came with pieces of cabbage (as opposed to wedges I normally get from other Thai places). I like how's there's more dressing as you get the taste of it in every bite. The dressing however was a little too fish forward for me and you don't get much acid. IMO, the fish sauce and lemon (acid) should balance each other out. They use big tomatoes cut into wedges (as opposed to cherry tomatoes which I normally have at other Thai restaurants), And they give a good amount of food. Chow Mein: my boyfriend ate this. He said it was okay. It looked pretty good to me. Thai ice tea: I ordered this with boba. And as I was drinking it, I don't know what was in it but it definitely was not boba. It was orange with a chewy texture. I checked the receipt and it clearly says BOBA.

The food was good and the thin slices of meats were excellent when you just dip and swirl them in the hot broth, then eat them al dente. The food bar had fresh seafood, vegetables, eggs, mushrooms, etc, for the taking. The sauce bar had plenty of sauces to choose from. Our dinner came with appetizers. We had 1.5 hours to eat but we were happy and full in an hour. Will definitely come back to this eatery again.

The place seems to really show its age with the floors really dirty and the wood floors are showing a lot of wear and tear. We got there for an early dinner and the place was empty. The lady seemed tired or just not in a friendly mood. The food was still reasonably priced. Much better than the Tofu Chain's and food as good as I remember. I went with the short rib Tofu soup and it came with two nice size beef short ribs and the meat peeling off the bone. Ban Chan was good but could not eat a few of them because they had bean sprouts in it. Nice to see Chodang doing strong. Hopefully the next time back won't be a 3-4 year gap.

I ordered the two-protein plate with chicken and shrimp, plus veggies ($29). It comes with a side salad and your choice of white rice or fried rice. They also have a variety of sauces to choose from. The chicken and shrimp were really good. Well seasoned and flavorful. The soy sauce (I'm assuming) was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall I enjoyed my meal. They do offer lunch specials, and I'll definitely be back to try those. The restaurant is well maintained, with a clean dining area and bathroom.

I absolutely loved the crispy bottom layer because it added such a satisfying crunch to every bite. The inside stayed really juicy and flavorful with a good balance of pork, shrimp, and chives. The Juicy Pork Dumplings had soup inside, which was rich and savory. I've had soup dumplings before where the wrapper breaks apart too easily, but these held together nicely while still staying soft and delicate. The Wonton in Spicy Sauce was my personal favorite from the entire meal. The spicy sauce flavor was savory with a little sweetness. I'm typically not good with spice, so this is at a spice level that should be very manageable for everyone. I absolutely loved the spicy sauce, so I started putting it on everything. Definitely put the sauce on the chicken fried rice! The Chicken Fried Rice was a great dish to pair with everything else that we ordered. With several orders of entrees, a solid rice dish is a must order for any Chinese meal. The rice had a nice savory flavor that I enjoyed, and there was a generous amount of chicken mixed throughout the dish. I even asked the waitress if they do anything special with the fried rice because it tasted better than many other restaurants. It felt comforting and balanced compared to some of the heavier dishes. The Dry Fried String Beans were cooked perfectly with a slight crispness while still being tender. The garlic and seasoning gave them so much flavor that it honestly didn't even feel like I was eating vegetables. I do have to note that these were very much on the salty side, so if you don't like foods that are too salty, I would choose a different dish. The Orange Chicken was really crispy and juicy, which I appreciated because soggy orange chicken is always disappointing to me. The sauce had a nice citrus flavor while still keeping that classic sweet savory taste. The Spring Rolls were simple with vegetable filling on the inside with a crispy outside. I would try a different appetizer next time. The Kung Pao Shrimp was packed with flavor and had a really satisfying combination of textures. The shrimp were tender, and the peanuts added a great crunch to the dish. I thought the sauce had a really nice balance of spice and savoriness without becoming overwhelming. Another dish I really enjoyed was the Beef Roll Pancake. The pancake itself was nice and chewy throughout each bite. The sliced beef with green onions and sauce all wrapped together made every bite really flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba. I really liked that the jasmine tea flavor was noticeable instead of being overly sweet like some milk teas can be. The boba had a soft chewy texture, and the drink itself paired perfectly with the spicy and savory dishes from the meal. Staff: All of the staff members were quick and friendly Ambiance: Indoor seating only. A good amount of parking in the parking lot that is shared with other shops in the plaza.

At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the overall experience was better than I anticipated. The seasoning was a little strong, and some dishes had a fairly familiar, standardized taste. Nothing was bad, and everything was prepared well, but I do feel a little disappointed when the authentic flavors of traditional Chinese food become less noticeable. There were four of us, and we ordered about eight or nine of their most popular dishes. My parents really enjoyed the food. I have worked in China before, so I may be a little more sensitive and particular when it comes to Chinese food. Overall, the restaurant has good reviews, the prices are reasonable, and it was a pretty good dining experience.

They have a ton of tables for both big and small groups. They told us that they don't have steak anymore and it was crossed out from their menu. The servers were friendly and quick. I enjoy this place for their variety of soups and noodles. I like their shabu since the amount of meat is perfect. Their hot pots are great too. The garlic noodles the perfect amount of garlicky. Their chicken katsu was nice and crispy. The price is reasonable for this spot and food is great!

Stopped by for lunch earlier today and it was a good spot to scratch that hot pot itch!…read more I ordered the Kimchi hot pot which I shared with a friend. We opted to get the vermicelli noodles instead of the white rice. The pot took around 10-15 minutes to arrive. The server lit up the pot for us. It was loaded with plenty of kimchi and plenty of meat and seafood like shrimp, fish balls, imitation crab, and tofu. The flavor of the broth was decently strong, not the spiciest I've had but not the weakest. It was quite filling for the both of us and adding the noodles towards the end helped fill up the pot overall. The interior of the restaurant has plenty of seating with booths and tables. Service was friendly and helpful. Overall it's a decent spot for hot pot with friends and family with plenty of broth options to choose from and add ons as well.

There is definitely a little bit more of a fushion-cuisine touch to this pho restaurant, but I love it! I dig being able to order elote and Vietnamese soup in the same place. The meat here is consistently tender from the experiences I can recall. The rib bones pho is worth trying at least once, but their combination bowl still hits the spot all the same. I do wish the overall average price point was a few dollars cheaper. I think their cheapest bowl of pho is already $14-$15. Service was chill and quick, I could tell the staff was busy during my last stop in. I'm not around often, but I take comfort in knowing I can grab a decent meal here.
