Worst place ever!!!!!!! I went here about a week ago with my boyfriend. We sat down and ordered water and a lemonade one lady brought two waters and walked away. I looked at the waters and the cups were dirty and the water was warm with stuff floating inside of it. Two more people walked past us and didn't even notice us then we asked for the lemonade again and it was never brought to us so we asked a third person and finally was brought to us and it was water with lemonade powered settled at the bottom and tasted like just powder. Then we ordered the steak and chicken fried rice and egg rolls the egg rolls were reallllllllly good !! So I got excited and took a bite of rice and it had no taste at all then we got the meat and it was 99% raw. I told the guy up front we weren't happy and he looked at me and said "ok cool" and then he ignored me from then on so we left with out paying. Would not recommend at all!!! So nasty and the guy is so rude! read more

This is a great little spot to get delicious Chinese or Vietnamese food. They have a great selection of foods, appetizers, pho, and the Chinese takey outey favorites. I had the shrimp fried rice, fresh spring rolls, and thai tea. No complaints. The whole to go box was full of rice and they weren't skimping on the shrimp. The price is about the same as other places. Also what is great about this place is the service. We were greeted right away and menus were offered after we were asked if the order would be to go. We did have it to go so, no experience of eating inside the dining area. It looked clean though. After we ordered, the food came out very quickly. We waited about 10 minutes. The gentleman behind the counter, I believe his name was Bruce, helped me with bringing the bags and drinks to the car. All in all: price was fair and the food, service, and cleanliness were all excellent. I will be coming back for sure. read more

Ain't this place a hidden gem. I have been here countless amount of times in the last few years and it never disappoints. The go to is always the aromatic Pho that they so perfectly craft. Other than that, the beef chow fun, Singapore, and their special vermicelli is a must have on any occasion. Sometimes we like to venture towards more traditional stuff like the Kungpao chicken and walnut shrimp. Probably the best and affordable Walnut shrimp you will find in the area. The shrimps are a decent size, perfectly fried and not too sweet! Service is always on point and they always treat you like family. Despite being an older building, it's nice and cozy for the average family to swing by for any occasion. Thank you for being in this community!!! I'll be back!! read more

This is a hidden gem, and I am finally sharing it with everyone. The orange chicken has a light batter on it and crisped to perfection. The orange sauce has specs of orange, and has the perfect amount of sweet v. tangy, it will make your mouth water. The chicken lo mein (we get it with the garlic sauce) is amazing!! Not pictured but worth the splurge, the house fried rice. It has so much meat, it is totally worth it. For the kids and adults, you have to try the garlic fries. The number one item though is their Orange chicken. If you are in this area, you will not be disappointed. read more

The portioning of the vegetables just didn't make sense huge, oversized pieces (like broccoli the size of a fist and massive bok choy) that felt unbalanced with the dish. The fried rice was mostly large chunks of vegetables with barely any rice, and overall it lacked flavor. For the price about $75 it just wasn't worth it. Take my word for it or try it yourself, but overall I'd give it around a 3.2 out of 10.

It's a small location with very little seating inside and with perfect weather on this day we dined outside. We tried the shrimp and pork spring rolls to start. The serving size were four large rolls that were more than we could even finish. It was accompanied by a flavorful peanut sauce. Spooning the sauce onto the first bite was a total surprise and didn't know what to expect. The ingredients were so fresh, crisp, and flavorful. The peanut sauce didn't have that cheap skippy peanut butter taste but was not overpowering and just enhanced every bite. My wife had the Chicken Curry with rice. It was a large serving that she couldn't finish on her own and I joined in to assist with my own spoon. It was filled with pulled chicken that was tender and tasty. The curry was more of a broth that had the perfect amount of curry flavor. Not too spicy and the soft white big potato halves made the dish feel like a warm, hearty bowl of comfort food. The rice was some of the tastiest I've ever had. Not sure what it's seasoned with but it's yellow and stick and delicious and balanced the curry broth perfectly. I ordered the marinated chicken with rice. It's served with a wonderful fish light fish sauce that you often get with vermicelli dishes at Vietnamese restaurants. The chicken was a thigh meat that was tender and flavorful. The rest rice was the perfect accompaniment that filled me up in a good way. Highly recommend both dishes. They use no seed oils, everything is fresh, made to order and be patient as the food doesn't come out right away. Good, healthy, fresh food takes time and worth the wait.
