    Meat combo lemon grass stir fry
    Sheila A.

    Got the lemon grass story dry lunch special. It came with soup and rice. Good flavor, good size portion. Friendly woman taking orders and cooking (I assume she is the owner). Very small indoor space that seats 9 people total, so it gets cozy quickly. There are a few parking spaces right in front so parking is convenient. Can't wait to come back and try the Pho!

    Use to be an Asian salad and a meatball Phò

    Amazing Phòs, salad, and all of it!! Stop by and taste the authentic flavors of Vietnam.

    So this is a very tiny vietnamese restaurant that was converted from an old service station. As I was driving to my destination in Maine I was getting hungry and since it was lunch time I had to find a place to take a break from driving and grab a bite. Since I really didn't have much time I just ordered the combination beef pho and it was the extra large bowl of course. The pho was decent and was better than I expected so I survived service station pho.

    Tiny amount "rare" beef that. Grey is a fantastic color for "rare"

    """"Buyer beware """" It's 20 degrees outside, your wife tells you she has Covid and has been in bed all day. Your 2 and 6 year old are home, running wild and unsupervised. QUICK...... what's the best course of action.... Duh..... it's gonna be a Pho night. Pho can fix Covid. Lrg pho for mom, small pho for daughter and wonton soup for the little one. I got bũn with grilled pork and grilled shrimp plus 1 order of fresh rolls. 85 dollars total because I still believe in tipping to go food. 7 bucks tip. Get home, unbox everything. My daughter wanted the rare beef pho, I place everything in a bowl and realized that the "rare" beef had already been placed in the broth l. Most places put the beef on the side so you can add it when you get home and cook to your liking. This was shriveled up, grey well done beef. Picture for reference. The sad amount of beef that was added is an absolute disgrace. Beware what you order because unless you're giving it a white glove inspection before you leave and complaining, then you're at the mercy of what you find when you get home. I'll never order that ever again. The only difference in large vs small is a small difference in the amount of noodles you get with your soup. Not worth the increase in price. My bũn was great. Grilled pork was tasty, the "grilled" shrimp was not grilled, not fresh not good at all. Inedible. They were probably cooked a week ago. Everything with the exception of the shrimp had great flavor.

    DELICIOUS! They have amazing food looks like a tiny red hole in the wall but worth stopping at hey have two cute picnic benches outside to eat at! I got the vermicelli noodle salad! Amazing!

    Pho eating contest signage. That's a jumbo bowl of soup?

    Food was pretty good. I ordered lunch special duck noodles dish with soup and roll. It was about 3 pm when I asked if lunch deal was still valid. Server said yes. I waited 15 minutes or so thinking my soup and appetizer would be coming out quickly. When I inquired, they said they were no longer serving lunch. I probably would've ordered a different dish had I known that. I'm not a huge Pho guy but probably should've ordered a bowl on a frigid day in Bangor. I'm willing to give them another try as I am a huge fan of Vietnamese food. This is a tiny shop that seems geared more to takeout, but has a pretty good menu with Thai and Vietnamese mixed in. They have a contest / challenge here. If you can eat a massive bowl of pho you win a free dinner I think.

    A small restaurant with limited seating. The pho and spring rolls were so good. The peanut sauce was exceptional. Definitely will be coming back here again!

    Pho beef
    Jane F.

    Something other than a lobster shack. The pho was surprisingly good, as authentic as any in NYC. The both was just rich enough for taste without over powering. Nice to have a generous amount of Thai Basil for the soup. There were also more beef slices than the typical NY restaurants. We were there during the summer, so was able to sit outside in a residential looking neighborhood. Inside there were 2 tables, similar to a Chinese take out place. No frills, good food at a very reasonable price. Would be back when in the area.

    Drunken Noodle with Chicken
    Steffen R.

    Classic hole in the wall vibe with the awesome food to back it up! I ordered the drunken noodles based on the reviews and I am glad I did, absolutely one of my favorites! Service was quick and efficient, did not have to wait long for my meal. I am looking forward to coming back to try some of my other favorites like the pad thai and the pho!

    Food is amazing! Get the fresh spring rolls to start and go from there. You will not be disappointed

    Is this place in a house? Asking because my GPS took me to location that looked like a house. So we turned around.

    No it in a small building that was a former garage. It was the home of Fenellli's and Pizza Oven. Not the best location

Their hot and sour soup is my absolute favorite-- no other compares! I highly recommend grabbing a bowl while you're there. Also, another one of my favorites are the steamed vegetable dumplings...yum! Another positive is the drinks. They're very reasonably priced and VERY good! Usually when I have a drink at a restaurant I find them hard to enjoy because they're so sweet. This is definitely not the case at chopsticks! They're mixed perfectly! If you love Chinese food, give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

No. I got chicken, rice, and teriyaki beef sticks. My beef sticks were literally inedible. Spoiled, tasted like they were in a freezer for a year or something. Literally the worst taste I've ever tasted from a restaurant. I would say invest in fresh food and quality. I hate giving a bad review anywhere because I know how hard it is as a business owner. But really fix the food quality please.

Large portions, Sushi is freshly made, the Thai food is delicious with a touch of heat. The service is spot on. They offer take out as well as dine in.

    What could improve? Everything. I saw it had great reviews and decided to go for my birthday…read moredinner. The server/hostess was very abrupt in manner and seemed almost annoyed with us for being there. Everything was sticky: the menus with crumpled pages, the tables, the bathroom floor. It had kind of a crummy cafeteria vibe with drop ceilings and crappy laminate tables and 80s middle school tile floors and stacking chairs. I'm normally all for a hidden strip mall gem but this was not it. My partner ordered a spicy roll combo and asked the server if they were spicy/crunchy and she said they all had the panko crunch in the mix. What he got had zero spicy and zero crunchy. The rolls were minuscule, sloppy with a tiny chunk of fish in the middle and nothing else. The yellowtail was super fishy and tough. He didn't even finish his meal. I ordered two special maki and they were both sloppily presented. The server never cleared a single plate from underwhelming appetizer through the meal. She came through regularly with her noisy Rubbermaid cart with peoples' meals on it, even if it was a single plate one-handed carry and the lower shelves of the cart were empty and could have housed dirty dishes. And the pièce de résistance was it was wildly overpriced - perhaps some of the most expensive sushi I have ever had and I have had grocery store sushi that was better. Then I came home and was in the bathroom for literal hours after my stomach started feeling dodgy after eating. 1/5 food 0/5 service -20/5 ambiance Just absolutely not it.
