    Wonton noodle soup
    Victoria V.

    Lots of parking. Service was as expected. It was clean and tables weren't sticky like how many Asian restaurants can be. Food was good. There is one unisex bathroom stall that was clean. We ordered: Pho 4/5 My order was wrong but I ate it anyway. I ordered beef ball with tendon but I got the steak and beef ball instead. Broth is on the sweeter side so it's not really my favorite flavor palette. Everything else was good. Combo Vermicelli 3.8/5 It wasn't overwhelming with lettuce and flavors were well balanced. The protein was a nice marinade. The sauce is on the sweeter side. Wonton Noodle Soup 4/5 My 8 year old wanted wonton soup so we ordered this for her. The portion size was huge. According to her, the egg noodles were a nice chewy texture and the flavors were good. We ate the wontons for her because she didn't want the shrimp and pork wontons. They were satisfactory. Banana and Coconut smoothie 5/5 Was a great combo. Would 100% recommend trying it.

    Sorry, it looked better when I got it but this is all that's left!

    When its cold outside? In Washington I dont normally think "Asian fusion", but its around freezing and their spicy lem9ngrass beef soup, a play on phô, was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!

    Always one of my favorites to catch lunch while out Harley riding. A nice pot of hot green tea and I always start with the pork & shrimp salad rolls w delicious peanut sauce. Today i had the chicken lo mein with some of the hottest chili sauce EVA. I only ever see the owner and his wife working. Nice and friendly. Clean bright restaurant with nice clean bathroom. Great place i will always return.

    We came back for a second time and decided to eat in instead of take out. We walked in and stood there awkwardly while people already seated stared at us ...awkwardly. Someone from behind the counter shouted out "just sit wherever" so we did. After ten minutes no one came to our table. So we got up to leave. That's when it was "oh we will be right there!" but by then it was too late, we already were half way out the door. You can't ignore people that long if you want the business and this place is not cheap. We will probably get take out again because the food is delicious but the service so far has been lacking.

    Hair in spring roll, no compensation or refund, was still charged even after only eating 1/4th.

    Today we went down to Shanghai for some pho and milk tea, ended up getting a spring roll aswell, the pho was decent, the milk tea was good. (you can't really mess that up) and at first glance the spring roll was delicious. Until about my 4th bite in when I pulled on a hair that unraveled the entirety of my stomach along with the contents of the roll, as if intentionally rolled into it, when I returned it and asked for my check they still charged me and apologied, but offered no compensation or refund for the shitty item that ruined my mood for food. Will not return, and recommend anyone else thinking they should go try to not risk it, they were good when they reopened, due to terrible food and service prior, but it's the same shitty resturaunters, in the same shitty location, with the same foul additude as previously, I also commented on the water having bits of stuff in it, and the man told me it was lemon and "people like me often comment on it" then proceed to show me a half empty water pitcher with lemon chunks in it. Cool but wtf do you mean people like me? Yikes.

    Beef and Broccoli

    The lady was nice enough, the restaurant is clean, but this is probably the worst and driest beef and broccoli I have ever had in my life. Stick with the spring rolls, not sure how this place got such a high rating.

    Beef Kung Pao
    HE W.

    Friendly fast service with large portions and fresh ingredients. We especially liked liked the Kung Pao Beef, Fried Rice, Hot and Sour soup, Egg Rolls and BBQ Pork. The restaurant was clean and well lit, relaxing and not too hard to find. The server was very friendly and patient with us and our baby.

    Good Asian fusion place to eat. Multiple menu choices and good food. I've eaten there twice and it is a lot of food for your money.

    If you haven't been the the Shanghai since they reopened, you're missing out! This is an amazing addition to a Lewis County!

    The food was excellent. Amazing flavor. Staff was really friendly and was able to accommodate a medium size group of youth baseball players.

    The mango salad was delicious. All ingredients complimented each other, very well balanced. Rice…read morenoodle bowl was fantastic. Service was great As for ambiance, I love the simplicity of the setting. The musician cats on the tv screen made us laugh in a good way. Overall, this is our new favorite spot for Vietnamese and Thai. We will be back and will introduce our extended family to this establishment.

    YESSS!! This is THE place for Vietnamese food! They are indeed authentic!…read more I have been missing the smell and taste of staple Vietnamese dishes ever since I moved out of California a few months ago. I used to receive Mom's vietnamese home cooking frequently and I lived near the Asian hubbubs with easy access to all the cuisine, but now I have to discover new places here in Washington to satiate my taste buds. Everything I've tried so far has been good. I've been content. But here!! I ordered takeout through Doordash, and as soon as I picked up my food, an aroma of so many flavors filled up my car. Parking is kinda annoying since it's on the street but I arrived within 30 mins of opening hours so it wasn't terrible yet. The restaurant already had at least a table or so, with customers, so I wouldn't be surprised if it got busier later. There's a fair amount of space and tables for hungry stomachs! The food was about ready by the time I arrived, and the 30 min drive home left me feeling famished and ready to dig in. Thankfully, I was not disappointed. Everything was packaged well so that nothing spilled during the car ride, and everything was so yummy! I ordered more than I originally intended... I was craving com tam (broken rice) and couldn't find a satisfactory place near my residence, so I drove all the way here to Tacoma.. and then I figured, I might as well order their Banh Xeo too! The photos online made it look so good, and it ended up tasting amazing! Slightly crispy and stuffed just enough with bean sprouts, meat, and other goodies. Perfect after drizzling some of the sauce over it. The Com Tam was also made well, and definitely hit my cravings with its classic ingredients. I ordered a Large Pho Bo Vien (meatball) for my son, and was sooo tempted to eat some myself. The broth smelled fresh and the noodles were cooked nicely. Decent portions for everything, too. I definitely need to return to try out more of their food. So far, it has made me one happy Viet gal :)
