I was really hoping this would be at least average. Unfortunately everything but the dining room was off. Snarky and inattentive service. Food that was difficult to eat. Prices were high enough to make you regret trying it twice. Buford highway or Duluth are worth the drive if you are looking for Asian. There are also good Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese in the area so you don't feel like you have no other option.

I had lunch with friends two days ago and had Pho. It was delicious!! Plus, they were so friendly and inviting and had great service! We will be back. :)

Have had take out a few times. Everything so far has been excellent. The various sandwiches are great. Also appetizers are very good. The red curry chicken was the best I've ever had. The interior is very nice and there's tons of parking. Prices are very reasonable as well.

Decent food, slightly pricey, good service. We tried Em Kitchen on a weeknight and had the place pretty much to ourselves. The menus were covered with so many hand-written strikeouts and re-pricings it might be good to reprint them as their appearance cheapens the atmosphere. We started with the Shrimp Spring Rolls which had a presentation that unfortunately meant they were very heavy on lettuce, but otherwise good. My wife had the Bulgogi and the sauce had a stronger hint of Hoisin/Anise than we're used to. The Kimchi on the side was very good. I had the Stir-Fry Beef Udon which was nice. No Diet Coke is available, but Coke Zero is.

First time visiting. Got a Banh Mi because it's just too far to go to Buford. I love Banh Mi and get it everywhere. I ordered the special and it was fresh and really excellent. $4, not bad compared to $3 in Buford. Can't say about the rest of the food but I'd recommend the Banh mi and will be back for more.

I'm so sad. I never thought Asian food could be flavorless with all the spices, oils, and sauces those dishes are cooked with. I ordered chicken Pad Thai, beef fried rice, egg rolls, and steamed pot stickers. The entrees were surprisingly bland. I was so disappointed. The egg rolls were amazing, and the pot stickers were nice. I enjoyed how they sprinkled sesame seeds on top. I also like the concept of the restaurant: a true Asian kitchen serving Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, and Japanese. Although this first visit was majorly disappointing, I don't want to give up on this place yet. I want to try some of the Korean dishes next.

Food was excellent. Took my family and everything we tried was fantastic.

EXCELLENT food, very generous quantities, and extremely pleasant people. Had to lower a well-deserved 5-star to 4 for small less significant reasons I know they can and will address as they get more experienced...

I wanted to take a moment to recommend Em Kitchen. It’s located in the LA fitness shopping center. Last night I decided to try it. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing. The house combination eggrolls were crispy and hot. They were served with a mild sweet/hot duck sauce. They were really great. I decided to go with the house combination Pho. That was also outstanding. It was filled with a lot of broth, in addition to the noodles, filet, sausage, and pork. It’s served with Lime, sprouts, basil, and hot peppers on the side. I was starving and I still brought a third of it home as leftovers. The price was great also. It was less than $21 with tip. I can’t wait to go back and try the Pad Thai. An Asian couple raves about it. I would honestly give it 5 stars.

This place has a welcoming atmosphere with a big variety of food. It was hard to pick just one thing to eat so I ordered the fried rice and was pleasantly surprised. I've gone back many times for Pad Thai and curry.
Loved all of the food. The shrimp spring rolls are to do die for. The staff was very polite. The pad Thai was awesome. Will be back!!

Never had a bad meal here, this place is great! Good portion sizes, reasonably priced, and everything on the menu is delicious! New favorite place for pho or pad thai.

I can't believe it took me so long to give Em Kitchen a try! Their pho broth is wonderful, and I really appreciate their massive menu variety, as getting my husband to come with me to Vietnamese restaurants is challenging. His yakisoba was incredibly tasty. We also got the pork egg rolls which were VERY good if earthy, mushroom-forward flavors are your thing (I love mushrooms, so big yes from me). Service was also great, and we got a very friendly goodbye from the owner (I assume) who appeared to be sitting down to dine with his family, which added to the family restaurant charm that I thought I felt when I walked in. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!

Delicious! I stumbled across this place on Postmates and brought back my friends in to try it today. This is going to be my new go to place! The owner and his son are super nice. Highly recommend the milk tea and yakisoba!!
