I was really disappointed by this restaurant. It looks like an old pizza place barely revamped and renamed.It was very empty, clean, but kind of a sterile school cafeteria vibe.Ugh.sorry.Now to the food. It appealed to a very hungry young adult man, but the other adults in the room were not impressed.Especially after they discovered that the very drippy "sweet n sour" sauce served with the very thick doughy cream cheese puff, and the oddly tasting tiny egg rolls appetizers was just: Wait for it!Watered down Ketchup.Nothing added to spice it up just extra water. Yuck!My Mongolian beef and green beans entree tasted like freezer burn beef barely disguised by a brown sauce.To the weird tasting barely orange flavoring on the thickly breaded fried tough Orange Chicken dish, a sesame chicken dish that was nothing to write home about, but my son loved his seafood soup aside from the overcooked rubbery blue mussels.The portions were big, as was the price.Judging from the pictures the food looked appetizing... It was not.The server was amazing. Alas she was the only one.She answered questions, took orders , cleaned up after the few other diners left and was an example of a hardworking industrious efficient cheerful employee.We tipped her extra.

The server was super sweet and quick to serve us! Everything was under $15, was fresh and delicious! I’ve tried many places, but this is definitely my first choice now.

I love the boba teas here!!! Was super hesitant on ordering one but when I asked the server what she recommended, she said her favorite was the coconut one & she was right! I get the coconut boba tea every time I come here? I got the Mongolian beef with their appetizers. definitely will recommend to family and friends!!!

Food was mediocre. The salt & pepper shrimp portion was disappointingly small - counted about 12 shrimps per $15/order; plus pictures were inconsistent (per some of their posted pictures showing peeled & headless shrimps or skin & head on shrimp). Nam Vam was also mediocre. Menu lists price as $3.99 but I was charged $5.00 per order so if prices were changed, it should be updated on the menus & website. Chicken meat for curry dish was stale. Pork belly had more fat than a slice of bacon. Mushroom in Gai Lan overpowered the vegetables. Tried it & won't be coming back.

Good food, got the walnut shrimp was very good will come again. Also not very busy so service is fast ??(Pho, teryaki udon beef, and walnut shrimp)

What a welcome addition to the neighborhood. An awesome fusion stop. The menu is a great list of "the hits" from multiple Asian cuisines. One of the owners, Lee, is a welcoming, gracious host. In fact every time I've been greeted at the restaurant; be it Lee or her husband, or any worker, have always been so welcoming and nice. I've enjoyed everything except a papaya salad that was a little to crab paste funky for my palate, but if it were just less dominant I would've loved that too! I want to order it again because my palate was so conflicted!*Edit on 3/11. I can't understand why this place isn't slammed most evenings. The crispy pork belly sauce...I would put that on ANYTHING. Top 3 restaurant for my family. Now that COVID is waning this place should be PACKED!

Just wanted to drop bye and see how the food was and i was not Disappointed. Now I don't have to go all the way across town to get PHO and Rice. Nice and clean for Dining.

All the dishes we ordered were bursting with flavors and just amazing! Our waitress was very attentive and service was phenomenal. Great location right of the highway and for great flavor, I'm surprised it wasn't that busy. Probably because they just recently opened and had been closed due to covid. But if you're looking for delicious food this is for sure a must stop if you're nearby.

The portions are a bit smaller than ho ho or the tea garden, but it is very tasty. The sauce with the chicken skewers was particularly good. The pork belly was way overcooked.

Sooooo goood!! Very delicious! Service was excellent and we were well taken care of! Nyab Xai (Nit) was an amazing host, so friendly and kind! Would highly recommend this place. Everything we had was perfectly on point! The walnut shrimp is soo good! Nice big shrimps! We also had the House Curry (not pictured) and it was the best I’ve had in a while. We wanted to order everything on the menu ?. If you haven’t tried this place yet…do it now!! 5 Out of 5 for sure!!
