Went here with a friend who highly recommended their Vietnamese Noodle Soups. He ordered a Spicy noodle soup, and I got a General Tso’s Chicken just to have something else at the table. The service was abysmal, the two (Owners?) working did not check on us after seating and once the food was brought, again ignored us. The waiter (Chef?) did not attempt to make my food Spicy as I had requested. The images in the menu appeared to show Family Style portions, but my chicken dish was just a few pieces of breaded fried meat, tossed with what appeared to be a store bought orange chicken sauce… Super unimpressed. My friends dish however was surprisingly solid, with a well developed flavorful broth, all the appropriate vegetables on the side, and a decent portion. Our plates were the same price, but I was super jealous I had not ordered what he recommended. Probably won’t go back just for that dish though.

So, ordered here for convenience. Bad choice next time I’m just making a further drive. The spring rolls were just shrimp when the menu said pork and shrimp. They absolutely had no flavor in the least bit. The crab puffs were tiny and no sauce. The signature beef pho came with very little beef and had no flavor. The yakisoba had very little meat but tasted ok. For the price I would have expected way better. In addition the chili oil cup I asked for was not even filled half way. I’m guessing the owner was the one who helped us and he wasn’t friendly whatsoever. I had asked him for a second chili cup and he seemed very bothered. I’m not surprised there were no other customers there. Would not recommend.

Got delivery and food was uneatable. Ordered beef Pho and the meat is always served rare and you cook it in broth. They sent it already in broth so the meat was very tough and rubbery. It was also very fatty. Also found a long hair in the soup before eating it. Had to throw away entire meal. Very disappointed and poor quality. Will not be back.

The vermicelli was super subpar. If I didn’t know what I wanted I might have been happy but there was no cilantro, no fish sauce, it was missing so much. Really it was just rice noodles with onions & meat, a tiny bit of lettuce, and a couple bean sprouts. Not the flavor profile I expect from that dish. Portions were generous. Same with the fresh rolls, it was just iceberg lettuce, rice noodles, and shrimp. No other veggies, no herbs. Really subpar

We had our first orders from there delivered . Portions were great and quite tasty and on time . My issue was we both ordered extra peanut sauce and there was absolutely none! It’s the reason I love Pad Thai so much, it was definitely a very spendy lunch for 2 but I’d eat there again

The signature pho brought life to my soul on a rainy day as Beethoven’s 5th serenaded us from above. Very comfortable environment, I had to fight off the post meal nap. Hospitable indeed

I’ve never met more passionate restauranteurs in my life. Dey is A true chef that goes to China every year and studies techniques. His mapo tofu is 2nd to none and the chicken zucchini Asian tacos are the best I’ve ever had.
