Our dishes had good flavor and we would order the lunch specials again and probably try more dishes. Husband asked for his beef extra spicy "Thai hot" and it was nice they could accommodate 4/5. My sweet sour chicken was good (could have been more crispy) it was what I was craving. 3/5 As with all restaurants...some dishes can be hit or miss. It's just knowing what to order! We did try the Lo Mein, it was a 3/5 a bit on the saucier side but it had good flavor and they let us order it with the bbq pork instead of just plain pork. Service was friendly 4/5.

Pro tip: The Thai noodle menu is the bread and butter here. It's about 3/4 toward the back of the menu and only 1 page. I personally suggest the Pad Won Sen or the Pad Ke Mao (probably both spelt wrong) and the Won Ton Soup is excellent. I've gotten to know the staff and except when they have the 10 year old serving when they make deliveries they are all very attentive and friendly. Still the ambiance of the place is weird with Easter, Christmas, Halloween, and Redneck decor being represented here. Pretty funny actually.

The vibe inside is super chic and modern but still cozy, and everything was spotless. Major bonus points for the wonderful staff -- super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. This place seriously raises the bar for what you can find around here. I'll definitely be back!

I wish I could give zero stars! The OWNER, not just a regular employee, but the owner was unbelievably rude. I came in to pick up an order, set my money on the counter and she threw it back at me like I did something wrong. She then said I didn't put it in the correct place on her counter. I was so caught of guard I didn't know what to do. After I left the depth of her actions set in and it bothered me even more. I will never ever go back. In fact I was so mad that I couldn't eat the salad. I threw it away and am currently sitting at pho 88 where they treat me and everyone else with kindness and great customer service. Negative 5 stars! read more

I arrived at the store after 50 minutes to give a little time cushion, but it turned out they hadn't even started on our group's order. The total cost was over $250 for five meals. That's pretty pricey, but if the food was good, we wouldn't have minded. It was not. Many of the ingredients did not taste fresh and the overall flavor was pretty bland. Their customer service was actually phenomenal. The hostess was very apologetic, but it really wasn't her fault. It truly wasn't even the fault of the kitchen staff. They were drowning in there. I don't know if they need more staff, but it's likely they do. I know for sure that they need more training for efficiency and to revise their recipes and ingredient quality. If they were that behind on a busy night, it is easy to assume that they are also too busy to be checking their ingredients for freshness. But this can all be fixed. They obviously care a lot about what they're doing. They just need to get organized and work on the quality and efficiency to make their lives a LOT easier.

When you enter there isn't much space for more than a few people to wait as they are a wait to be seated place. It did take several minutes for anyone to emerge from the back to seat us. After we were sat, we were promptly greeted and given our drinks. We also ordered potstickers at the server's suggestion. We ordered off the lunch menu which had a great selection and also included an egg roll and either a salad or hot our sour soup. We decided to do the Garlic Chicken with Wild Mushrooms and Red Hot Beef both with jasmine rice. Fried rice is also an included choice or you can choose to up charge for lo mein or egg drop soup. As other reviews have said, you will need to pack your patience here on the wait for food. It took 15 minutes for the soup and salad to arrive, 30 minutes for our potstickers, and 45 minutes for the main. There were only two other tables when we arrived, and they had already ordered. Four more came in a little while later, but they received their entrees within five minutes of ours arriving. Definitely be patient as everything we had was worth the wait! The potstickers are made on demand and are so good! The hot and sour soup and salad were also very delicious! The star was really the Garlic Chicken with Wild Mushrooms. It was so full of flavor. The Red Hot Beef was also very good. We will certainly be back as we want to come for a dinner experience, but we might make it an early dinner instead of during the dinner rush. Come enjoy the excellent food and relax into the experience.
