Customer Reviews
We drove an hour to visit this restaurant. Upon seeing the wonderful reviews we added it to our list of “must try’s”. The service was excellent from start to finish. We had an older woman taking care of us and it felt as if she was cooking just for us! I love supporting small business, especially family owned and operated. The menu has a great selection and offers plenty of food. The kid’s menu was excellent. The crab Rangoon was perfection. Not over cooked and the right amount of filling with thingy sliced scallions. The hot and sour soup had a nice thick consistency but not too thick. Everything was made from scratch and the tempura batter on the general tso’s chicken was perfect. We will definitely be back the next time we are on this side of town.
Went during lunch - ordered crab puffs , chicken wrap , and beef chili lemon grass with steamed rice the plate came with a soup and a veggie egg roll .. also ordered two pork egg rolls to go . All the food was delicious. Service was just a tad slow but everything came out so fresh so that made up for it ! I sat outside the nice little patio area. Total was $33
The food is comfort food. The service is outstanding. The ambience is Asain diner. The prices average. A small free-standing building with a private car park super clean, you can see the kitchen from your table. The service is more rice is brought over condiments in single serving packets beverage will never go dry.
It’s a very nice environment and has a friendly vibe going on. This is definitely a great spot to hit up for a good meal & it’s very affordable. Lunch meal & drink was around $15 w/ tip. The service was prompt & food was good. Will come here again next time I want to grab a bite to eat.
Been coming here for almost a year now through recommendation and never been disappointed. Food and drinks taste delicious. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Vietnamese coffee holds my heart and my go to however this location serves it in the brewing cup giving you the authentic experience (wish I got a photo of it). If you don’t know how to use it the staff is kind and eager to do it for you or show you how. Hendrick took care of us today and checked up on us regularly if we needed anything or refills. Ps. They have lunch specials throughout the week worth checking out. Thank you so much for always serving us yummy food and taking care of us! ☺️
