It looked nice so we went in.We where the only guests. The lady was not very happy about us, throw the things more or less on the table. The food itself was okay. Before I had finished she throw the bill on the table- we hadn't asked for it yet. She charged us a coke we didn't have - so the tipp was reduced by us. Our advice: drive a few miles to Niantic - there are some very nice restaurants!!!

Stopped in for Pho and was pleasantly surprised by the speed of service, the fresh pho and friendly service. Located not to far from the Best Western Hotel with ample parking this place hit the spot. Will be back the next time in town!

Food was OK, good for the price, and definitely hit the spot. Service was poor. This place is (or seems to be) Chinese run, and the ramen isn't authentic. The broth seems generic and the noodles are not fresh made, but overall the ramen is much better than instant, which is my alternative.
My main complaint is the service.
To start with, I was the only customer at the time, and I was greeted rather icily. Ok, maybe it was the wrong time of day and I was upsetting their flow, it was around 4 PM, so I excused the lack of welcoming as just a minor irritation, and put on my "extra gratitude and respect" manner.
I asked for boba tea and was given iced tea. I then asked about the boba, and she apologized and said most people don't like it so she omitted it. Why would anyone order boba tea and not get the boba? To make up for it, she gave me a fresh boba tea with ice and boba. That's great...
EDIT: after tasting the boba, I understand why customers don't like it. I've had many different types of boba: the good stuff is like tapioca balls, the cheap stuff is like diced dough, the stuff at Daddy's Noodle Bar tastes like balls of silicone. I suspect that it is the good tapioca balls but not correctly cooked.
But then my straw was tossed onto my table carelessly and rudely as she walked by to serve some Chinese customers. If not for this, I would not write this review.
The server also tried to charge me for a bogus $98 bill, when I had only $23 worth of food. She printed the correct receipt but swiped the wrong one. Then she tried to play it off as a simple mistake (chose the wrong table in the billing machine), but there was no one who had ordered that food!!!
A positive comment: The murals on the wall are nice, and the location (once construction is finished) will be great. I'm sure the Chinese menu items do better than the Japanese ones.
Sadly, I will not return. I'm Indian and we can stomach a lot of insult, but this was more than I'm used to.

I can’t understand for the life of me why businesses can’t be honorable and honest! A honorable and honest business will get repetitive customers! I was the only customer in the building. I ordered seafood pho, crab rangoon, chicken wings, and shrimp dumplings to-go. Me and my son eat pho a lot and since we moved here, we have not been able to find authentic pho. I found this place on Google so I decide to try it. I am disappointed because I ordered seafood pho (which is the most expensive than any other pho) when I got home it was chicken. As I was the only customer in the building, I doubt this was a mistake. I believe the owner purposely charge me for seafood pho and gave me chicken. The crab Rangoon tasted like the cream cheese was sour! I’m extremely disappointed and will never go back.
The ramen tasted and resembled like store bought. The waitress basically threw the ramen bowls on the table and was very rushed. I will not eat there again. One and done.

I didn't really enjoy the food, but that could just be a personal preference because my husband said his dinner was fine. The seating was kinda uncomfortable, and the air conditioning wasn't doing enough for the 90-degree day. I didn't hate the place, yet I'm not going back there.

I visited a few weeks ago to try some pho and was not at all disappointed! I showed up fairly early after they opened and there was plenty of seating. We got some Thai tea which was delicious and an egg roll in addition to two bowls of pho. I went with the extra large pho and my husband got the pho with steak and they were both delicious and very large portions.
The extra large is, indeed, very large. I had enough food for lunch and another bowl with my leftovers for dinner. The egg rolls were small but very tasty and crisp with a delicious dipping sauce that complemented it well.
I very much enjoyed my meal here and will eventually be back to try the ramen options as well. It's worth a visit for sure!!

I took one of my clients here today to get her out of the Hot house and have a good day but unfortunately today our waiter was so unprofessional. He made her feel very uncomfortable after asking for a tip. When she tried apologizing he cut her off and was being rude over a tip. I don’t recommend going here let alone taking your members
