    Two front door entrance at one door was blocked with lots of plants had to maneuver wheelchair accessible

    Supposed to be grilled beef with fried egg rolls served with light fish sauce dressing and noodles were supposed to be thinner, with that being said. Dressing seems like it would be for the egg rolls . The website stated it was wheelchair accessible but the entry has 2 doors and only had 1 door accessible, for our son's power wheelchair to enter the door which their website description is misleading . All the plants from the front entrance to the back of the restroom and I could go on with the PHO soup , that was ordered incorrectly for $20 Would like to just give this place with no star.

    Godness, the food so pricely and it took us 45minutes to wait. Terrible service and the drinks so sweet and bad, $6.75 not worth for the drinks. This place is overprice. Everyone is complaining because it took so long for the food. People are leaving and want to cancel their order.

    The chewy gyoza and fresh - aka lettuce - roll.
    Denise H.

    Wow, I was so disappointed in the food and this place has 4 stars so double downer. My daughter picked this place before we went to the Theatre. We shared Fresh rolls, gyoza, and I chose the Pho Chicken. Pho is in your name so I was so excited (love Pho!) but man.... The broth was so murky and was heavy on anise maybe? Just not the beautiful balance I've come to know. The noodles were not mushy so that was a plus. The gyoza was standard and actually kind of tough, but the sauce I dipped them in was good. The fresh rolls.....mainly lettuce and maybe in their defense it wasn't supposed to be like a summer roll, but there was so much lettuce I don't even remember any rice noodles. On the upside, the server was very nice and attentive. There were plenty of places to sit as well. My experience was really a 2.5 - it was edible but didn't eat anything that would make me want to go back. With a 4 star rating, I must have gone there on a bad day.

    My curry came out in this adorable pot!

    Vietnamese Iced Coffee: made hot then put ice over (my first sip was warm), and it then got a little watered down. BBQ pork Bao: I was so excited for these because they're my favorite and I have t had any around here, but found them to be a little disappointing. They were good, I love the fluffy bread, but the flavor wasn't super punchy and there was very little meat. Thai Red Curry w/ Vegetables: firstly, it came in the cutest pot ever. It was very good and I'm always happy when I can get a curry with all veggies and no tofu. I got medium heat (she asked if 2 or 3 was okay, and I said 3, but I did not ask for the scale haha) and it was just right, though my nose was already dealing with the cold, so maybe I should have gotten a two. And, the curry itself was very sweet. There was plenty in the serving and there was a bunch of rice. My server was super sweet, too!!!

    I was on the hunt for some food on Easter Sunday and a lot of restaurants were closed for the holiday. I found Yummy Pho Bac and saw their online order menu was still available so I decided to order from them and I'm glad I did! I have now ordered takeout from them twice, and everything I've had has been really good. During my first visit I ordered Pad Kee Mao, which is really good. I also have tried their egg bao due to them being out of their bbq bao. That was surprisingly good as well. I plan on trying their boba tea sometime soon. This place is cute and clean on the inside. I will be back to support this local business!

    Papaya salad sampler
    Thommy S.

    Not a bad spot at all. We came during lunch hours on a weekend, and it wasn't busy at all. We got in right away and there was probably another table or 2 in there when we were there. They have a variety of things on their menu. I started off with the dumpling. It was good. It was my favorite thing here out of everything that I tried. It was pretty meaty, steamed perfectly, and the sauce was good too. The next thing I tried was the pho beef combo. It wasn't bad at all. I also tried their papaya salad sampler. It came with papaya salad, sticky rice, and beef jerky. It wasn't bad at all. The sticky rice just wasn't very sticky. It was a little hard and falling apart. Other than that, no complaints at all. The decor was pretty neat. It was nice and quiet since there weren't that many tables. In all, I didn't have a bad experience.

    Pho Beef
    Meki A.

    I always have great experiences when I order here. The beef was extra chewy this go round. I wasn't able to finish my it. It was a cold day and I was looking forward to this dish. I may just stick to the drunken noodles from here on out.

    I picked up Yummy Pho Bac for a takeout dinner last night, and I was IMPRESSED. I ordered online through their website and paid when I picked up the order. It was ready even though I arrived a few minutes before the time I had selected for pickup! (The inside of the restaurant seemed really nice. It's small-ish, but they weren't too busy, so the tables were really spaced out. They had hand sanitizer stations at the entrance and at the bar where you order/pickup takeout.) We started with BBQ Pork Bao (2 pieces), which were great - that sticky, sweet sauce on that pork?! Yum. We also got the milk bao (2 pieces), which seemed to be plain steamed buns (good, but I definitely used them to sop up the yummy sauces). For our entrees, we started with the Red BBQ Pork with rice, which was served with sliced tomato and cucumber and a good sauce. The pork was a little on the dry side, but well flavored and still delicious. We also got the Ca Kho To (Vietnamese Caramelized Fish), which was delicious! The fish was scrumptious - but it had little tiny bones that you had to pick out. The dish was so delicious, I didn't even mind searching for the little bones. For our last entree, we tried the Pha Sexy (a deep-fried fish dish served with a great sauce). You can get the Pha Sexy two ways - as a whole red snapper or a tilapia filet. We ordered the tilapia filet version - which was great, even as a to go dish! They put the fish in its own container and the sauce on the side (so it stayed nice and crispy on the drive home)! Overall, the food was really excellent. I'm already scoping out the menu to see what I want to try next. Overall, very good Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese food. We'll be back soon!

    Pork Pad Thai Crispy Pork
    Kelly M.

    Pretty legit place. Service was great and the presentation of the food was beautiful. Get the Vietnamese iced coffee! It's so good! Pork Bao buns appetizer=excellent. Pad Thai was good and wasn't mushy like some places. The only thing that was a little off putting was the loud cheesy Christmas YouTube music videos going during dinner, but It just might make you laugh.

    I ordered the jasmine tea and hot sake and the Pho Tai and it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back. And the decor is lovely. Beautiful plants and pictures everywhere.

    Fixings on the table
    Veronica M.

    No, nothing special and I would not come back. Chicken appetizer was undercooked and no even "sorry" they just grabbed it and cooked it longer and brought it back to the table. The wonton soup was blah. The soup only had the wontons and broth, a few garnish of cilantro and green onions and the meat had a weird taste to it. I don't like that TN don't add noodles to their wonton. My friend had the Pad Thai and she wasn't too impressed either. Bathroom were clean. Service was blah and slow. Sorry guys but I did not have a good experience. I really hoped this place had a great wonton soup but sad it doesn't.

    Pho Dac Biet
    Darling M.

    This is just based on their to-go order, portions are skimpy and laughable. I travel and eat pho takeout alot so I'm okay with paying a premium price if it's worth it. Don't call it a Pho Dac Biet and charge $24 for the bowl if you are going to put close to nothing but noodles in it, order was also missing the rare beef steak that's suppose to be in it and the one meatball cut in half. As a Vietnamese myself this was kinda insulting LOL.

    Pad sa-ew spice level 7 (I love spicy)
    Julina K.

    I feel like it's hard to find good food in Mt Juliet but I think this is one of my favorites. The menu was pretty big from Thai food to Vietnamese food. I liked the fried shumai. Everyone ordered different dishes and they all liked it. I got the pad sa-ew and the fried duck which I enjoyed. I think everyone's favorite was the desert. We got the custard and sweet mango and rice.

Almost always packed, even right before closing. I've done delivery a couple of times before finally showing up in person. (And now regret I ever did delivery. Pickup is easy and the fees are not worth it.) Menu is tight and purposeful: banh mi, pho, rice noodle bowls, a handful of appetizers, all inexpensive. The boba and fruit teas are an influencer's dream: colorful, instagrammable, with lots of interesting flavors to choose from. But the real draw here is the made-fresh-daily mochi donuts, and the flavor lineup leans decidedly international: taro glaze, Dubai chocolate, strawberry pocky, pistachio. My personal favorite is actually the plain sugar (maximum chewy mochi mouthfeel), but the fancier ones hold up, too. Miles better than what the nearby chain Asian bakeries are doing, and I have eaten at a lot of those. All that said, the actual food is not an afterthought. The tofu banh mi ($8.95) has become a genuine addiction, on what tastes like real, homemade French bread. Ordered on their website, ready in 15 minutes, waiting at the counter 2 minutes after I walked in. The 1 thing that is super annoying is the space gets crowded enough that navigating to the counter for pickup is a little awkward. Parking is easy (massive shared lot), staff is warm and fast. Would be in very regular rotation if it weren't slightly out of my way, and it's well worth the effort.

He was really excited to go so we made a 30 minute drive to load up on some dumplings. My first impression was that the place was clean and bright with lots of seating. We were greeted nicely and we sat down to discuss what we wanted before ordering at the register. Disney music played on the speakers the entire time and even me, a Disney-adult, I was over it after having to hear Let it Go twice in a row. We ordered quite the spread: one beef gua bao, one order of chicken & cabbage handcrafted dumplings, one pork belly rice, one chicken gua bao, one zha jiang noodles, soup dumplings, and Thai iced tea, and one jasmine milk tea. In total, with tax and tip, we spent nearly $75. Now, we wouldn't stick our nose up to spending our hard-earned money to get our grub on, however, we felt like we didn't get our money's worth here. The food was just okay. My favorite thing was the beef gua bao and I would absolutely get that one again. The Thai tea was delicious, and the chicken and cabbage dumplings were decent. My husband surprisingly loved the chicken gua bao the most and I really enjoyed it, too. But for the more expensive items like the noodles and rice bowl, they were *fine.* My rice barely had any sauce on them and minimal pieces of pork belly. The soup dumplings, though prepared nicely, were not very flavorful at all. The jasmine milk tea? Probably the worst I've ever had. My husband liked his noodles but I was not crazy about them, they had a very greasy texture to them and the mouth feel was like I was so thirsty at the mechanic that I took a swig of their synthetic motor oil. Now I will say that the employees here are very nice and they bring the food out to you as the dishes are made. Overall, I wasn't impressed with Steamboys except for their beef gua bao and Thai tea. The price didn't match the flavor for the entire meal, so we won't be going back. Service: 10/10 Food: 5/10 (the gua baos and Thai tea are the best) Drinks: 7/10

We were greeted nicely by the hostess and waited roughly 5 minutes for a table to open up. A family of five came in right after us and decided to sit at the bar to eat.

I loved the low ambient lighting that spread across the ceiling. Our waitress was nice but she never gave us her name so I unfortunately can't shout her out. She gave us recommendations so I ended up taking one of hers. Now, if you have read my Thai restaurant reviews, you know by now that I judge a Thai restaurant by ordering their Pad Thai the first visit, however, I broke that rule because I just KNEW this place was going to be good. We ordered the Tom Kha soup with chicken, Pad Kee Mao with chicken, I ordered the Khao Soi Gai (it comes with chicken, no substitutions), and one Thai iced tea. You guys. When the Tom Kha soup touched my lips, I was SO excited to get the main course! It was made PERFECTLY. I haven't had true Tom Kha since probably when I lived in California over a decade ago. The Thai tea was strong and delicious, exactly how it should be made. The Khao Soi Gai...that first sip of the curry broth nearly made me go Meg Ryan-mode in the restaurant. If you know, you know. "I'll have what she's having!" Our waitress recommended this dish and I'm so glad I was adventurous and tried something different outside of my "I'll judge you based off of your Pad Thai" attitude. It was perfect and when I say perfect, I didn't even add lime juice to it because I didn't want to mess anything up with the flavor profile. Sure, lime could have added another element to the dish but when I say it was perfect the way it was, it's true. The night at Smiley would have ended perfectly if it weren't for the miserable couple who sat beside us discussing how unhappy they were in their marriage and decided to accept the waitstaff into their broken marriage by being completely rude.

In short, the staff here are wonderful, and the food is memorable, delectable, delicious, perfect...it's HEAVEN. We will DEFINITELY be back to try other menu items!
