Great place they do a really good job with tofu. I recommend ordering the kimchi fried rice and the sweet and sour plate ( protein is tofu for us) and mixing them together for a spicy and sweet delicious meal

This is a great place to eat, especially if you have any dietary restrictions. Service is always friendly and quick. Also, the lunch special is a good deal!

Has Stew the turtle who is the best business man I have ever worked with, I mean the speech the personality, the performance, manners, work ethic just wow ( joking ). Anyway the place is really nice and I like the style here plus the food is quite filling. I feel welcome and comfortable here. Will come again. Would give 4.5 if it was an option.

We were heading out of town and craving Asian food and a quick bite. Stopped in a half hour before close. Our server was happy to seat us, and service was quick. Food was delicious. Veggie spring rolls, tofu Thai curry, General Tso’s chicken, so good! Will definitely stop again.

Sorely disappointed in our dinner experience. We got the Korean wings which were served with a straight up cup of fish sauce and not spicy at all. Thai curry fried rice had woody pineapple (if you could find any) and a burnt taste although the tofu had a nice crispy finish. Bun Bo Hue was really just sad. The broth had no flavor or fresh herbs other than some measly stems of cilantro; the tomatoes were also sour and not in a good way, the meat was like cheap chả lụa and no giò heo... things could be much better. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

My Aunt is from Thailand and she is half Chinese, taught me how to cook several Thai and Chinese dishes when I was apx. 14 years old. My Dad and his baby brother were in the Air Force together and Aunt Di was just a few years older than I was (my Uncle was only 12 years older than me). I don't remember or have ever tasted pork fried rice with such a strong Fish Sauce taste. I often cook Spring Rolls, fried rice, Pancit egg rolls and always have fish sauce in my pantry. My cousin teaches his daughter how to cook like his Mom even when he was 7- 18 he denied wanting to be any part Asian and now regrets his childhood brattiness. Is their anyway to order fried with less or no fish sauce?

Well, it was not good. Ordered the fried wontons for appetizer and they were soggy, oily, and not crispy at all--not sure when they were fried but it was not today. They arrived with a bottle of ketchup, a bottle of mustard, something pink and cardboard tasting labeled sweet and sour, and a bottle of soy sauce labeled dumpling sauce. Also got some fried rice which they forgot to fry and was tasteless. Got the szechuaun plate which was also pretty much tasteless except for the parsley sprig. It was not spicy or numby nor did it have hardly any sauce. The pork in it was not velveted or crispy. Nothing had any wok flavor. Besides the parsley and soy sauce, there was no noticable flavor. Had to mix everything together and drown it in soy sauce to finish it. Besides the old ladies playing cards in the corner, l was the only customer. On the upside, the waitress was pleasant and attentive.

This is one of my favorite places to eat from! Their food tastes like i’m right at home. We’ve had issues with the Dine app ordering system, but they always are super kind and apologetic! 10/10

They had a lot of vegan options, which were clearly marked on the menu. The food was pretty tasty, just way too oily
