Don's Asian Cuisine

Went to the soft opening today and let me tell you, the food was spectacular! We enjoyed every dish that we ordered. Do not sleep on the papaya salad! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and service was very fast! We will definitely be visiting again!

I ate at this restaurant around a year ago and came out disappointed, food was below average and service wasn’t the best either. They’ve been under a new management for the past 3 months. I’m obsessed with Vietnamese food, specially Pho, Spring rolls and Bah Minh, so since 2017 I try to go to new pho places each time I can and give it a try, I have my favorite places of course and I come back to them often. Food here was ok, the Bahn Min is slightly toasted, and I loved that… is how I understand it needs to be, it lacked a little love (or probably experience?) in the preparation… butter was everywhere and not properly spread, also probably more pickled carrots/onion flavor, at least that’s how it tastes in the place where I think they make the best I’ve had so far (Simply Pho). The Pho needs a little more life, more intensity in its flavour and colour, but it was decent, I always order beef broth with veggies and tofu wherever I go… this one didn’t change my life, it has room for improvement, finally the thing that I disliked the most was the spring rolls, they definitely need more love and the peanut sauce, a more intense sweet touch, I ordered tofu ones, but idk they were plain and tasteless in comparison to the places where I like them the most. Service was good, dedicated and polite, by far I can assure the quality service is the biggest improvement I noticed from former management/staff.

We had a weird request (no dairy, no oil) for the tofu banh mi and tofu spring rolls. They said they could steam the tofu. We'd never tried that before and it was delicious! I'm grateful for their accommodation of our dietary needs and the results were well worth it. I definitely recommend this place for their service and the steamed tofu spring rolls and banh mi sandwiches.

Brandon was a great person and so welcoming!! The food was delicious and he went above and beyond with me and my wife. This is officially our new favorite Vietnamese restaurant! Wow. Will be coming back atleast once a week. Thank you Brandon! Went back again and the girl there was very nice and helpful. This restaurant should be getting more traffic. They have the real Sriracha on the tables and wine!

Came to check out the new menu under a new restaurant name. This restaurant use to be name Kim Son Cafe then transition to Rice Village Cafe then transition to a different name which is Don Asian Cuisine. The owner is Vietnamese. It was more popular under Kim Son Cafe though when it was Chinese and Vietnamese food only. Now it's a combination of Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese food for now. (Never heard of that combination before.) There is alot of buddhist portraits on the wall. Looks like the Thai manager, whose working there at the moment has made effort to build up the restaurant to add thai food on the menu along with pricing the items. There is new temporal staff inside in the kitchen that I never seen before, thai girls from Thailand. So I think the food is more authentic. Thai food is usually sweet. I would rate it a 3.8 but 4 star is for effort.
