This place is amazing!
Their curry is the best! We always eat here whenever we're in the area. One thing we recommend is to call ahead to check if they're open, as we've arrived several times only to find them closed.

First time trying this place and we got takeout. The crab rangoon was some of the best I've had in the area. Everything was fresh and still hot when we got home. Definitely will be coming back!

We tried the beef phó, house special phó, and the papaya salad (Som Tum )
Having lived in Southeast Asia for 10 years and traveled throughout Vietnam, I’m quite familiar with the ingredients and frequently cook many Southeast Asian dishes at home. So as a visitor to Rockford, I was excited to try some local Vietnamese food.
The Phô was fantastic—the flavor was rich and well-balanced. The flank steak beef was tender and the brisket & (mystery) meatballs added to the special house option were also perfectly cooked (although the brisket had a little too much fat for my liking). The veggies served on the side were perfect and abundant. Loves the included chili oil, flakes, black soy sauce and Sriracha.
The papaya salad (som tum) on the other hand, was underwhelming. The dish had waaay too much fish sauce for my taste, this may be a one off. But having used it regularly, for the umami that it adds, we found this over powering. While the portion was generous it was inedible. Less fish sauce and sprinkle of crushed roasted peanuts and cilantro would’ve been a nice finishing touch, moving forward.
I could eat the phó over and over again!!!!

This was my first time eating here but will not be my last. My server, Tuly, was amazing. She was super friendly and on point our entire dinner. She made the meal worth while without even trying the food. The ambiance was superb and a great place for a quiet meal. I ordered the Ruby Red Dragon, Drunkin Noodle, and the Chinese Broccoli with a Thia Tea to drink. The food was well above average and the tea was to die for. I recommend this Vietnamese restaurant to anyone into this type of cuisine.

The food was spectacular for all 5 of us. Too bad I had to ask for water 3 times before he said he will take everybody's drink orders first. I was very hot this summer evening and I'm on the older side. I would have left but we were all looking forward to eating here and knew we would love the food from browsing the menu. My son drove with his gf 3 hours and we drove an hour the other . I refused to let him ruin my twin sons birthday for it and let it go and he was super great after that. I demoted just one star. I just want the owner to know this. Ironically, the table we were at (featured here on google) has water at every seat. It is rule #1 in hospitality for a restaurant. He talked to me like I was 3 but only for the first 5 minutes. My family was super embarrassed for him as well. Again, we came for the food, looks like the pictures and it was one of the best meals we all had in a long time. Kudos to the chef and whomever owns this great place.

The pad thai was overall cooked well, but was too salty and too acidic (everyone else's dishes were too salty as well). Otherwise, was one of the better ones I've had in the area. Service and atmosphere was great though and the portion sizes were generous!

Not the best but not the worst when it comes to Asian fusion cuisine. I thought the Dragon Fried Rice would be fire... It wasn't. Pho was ok but not extraordinary
