I’ve actually been following the owner on her FB page bc there was a video of her eating with her grandparents. It was so endearing to me bc I ate with my grandma a lot growing up. When I saw that she was opening a place I had to try it! We’re from out of state so it took us a while to actually come in.

I’ve been looking for this restaurant since they opened but I could not find it. The other day I took my Mom to go buy medicine at Sunrise Market and I found them inside the building!

Let me just say that this place is so much better than hmong village and hmong town in St Paul. One of the best places and would highly recommend. There’s not alot of open seats. First come first serve unless you’re open to waiting or take-out. I would definitely be a regular soon. The dish are $14 or more per dish. But there’s no regret. The flavors and dishes are worth it.

We went when it opened and it is very clean!!! Self service plates, bowls, utensils and water which we loved!!! We grabbed almost everything off the menu Every dish was phenomenal!!! Deep fried bananas were fresh, crispy, crunchy and was filled to the top!!! Love how flavorful the food is which satisfied our cravings!!! After we finished our food we did not feel heavy either and ended up ordering more food a couple of times Overall customer service, experience and food= 5/5!!!!! Will be back again
