We came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and overall it was good but not amazing. The restaurant is kind of beat up. Missing molding, someone had written all over our booth wall and the table was mildly wet due to them just cleaning it. They seemed to need more people but were working their best to keep up with the mild rush. The server was nice and suggested an unknown dish I asked about. I can't remember the name of it but it was a soup. My husband got the baby pork ribs. Visually the soup did not look appetizing but once I added the meat and flavor seasonings that came with it on the side it was delicious and flavorful. The ribs were just ok. Kind of dry and not very filling for the price. I would go back and try something else though.

A fairly small space located right next to an Asian grocery. I had the pork ribs which were flavorful but a little dry. I would go again to try another dish.
It's got a trendy, early to mid 20 year old vibe. However, the decor was a little worn. There was missing molding in some parts of the ceiling and scratches on the walls from people writing on them.
The staff was professional and helpful. They seemed a little understaffed for a late Sunday lunch period. They were hustling to take care of multiple tasks and once which was appreciated.
Overall, it was decent food for a reasonable price. I would recommend it if you're in the area. It's not a place I would drive across town to visit but it is a solid experience.

The wait time for pho was long especially given it wasn’t many people dining at the time. I did a carry out order and the young waitress said it would take 10 min but, it actually took 30 min. So you do the math. I’m not a fan of the beef balls (first time having it) which is in the regular pho, but the broth and the sliced beef is everything. The time it took for pho was too long. With that being said, let it be known that I absolutely LOVE PHO. I’ve had it all over the US and I will say so far Indiana has not disappointed. I didn’t dine in but, the ambiance was pretty good on the inside. I just have to say that the carry out order (in my opinion as a patron) should have been shorter, especially given there only a few customers dining in. The pho broth, and I say this WHOLE HEARTEDLY to me was FANTASTIC. That wait time given the waitress told me 10 min and she was very kind, should be (opinion) corrected. All in all loved the PHO.

Honest review.
Seemed like a bit of language barrier with waiter. Wanted beef pho, not the rib special. I got a bunch of bones in with the meat. Not sure if I asked for the wrong thing or what but the food was good. Asked for extra noodles but might have gotten extra meat? I'm not sure. Regardless there was a lot of meat and a normal amount of noodles. Not an issue. I was full. It tasted better than other places. That's where the good stops. There were so many fruit flies. I killed one and another 2 were constantly buzzing me. There were 3 that got stuck in my red sauce... one pulled himself from the fire and flew away but the other 2 were swimming. I'm not sure why there's so many bugs.
I won't be returning.

Everything here was so tasty, fresh, crispy, and flavorful! We wanted to try something new & I’m so glad we came! The grilled beef salad, with spice is sooo good! Smoothies are phenomenal! Egg rolls are huge and so tasty! The prices are even better! Can’t wait to come back

I chose this restaurant based on its appearance and high rating on Google reviews, but unfortunately, the food and service we received this time did not live up to the rating.
We were seated near the restroom, and several tables in the restaurant hadn’t been cleaned (they were a little bit messy). During our time there around 1–2 PM, there was only one server handling both cleaning and taking orders. The water bottles didn’t appear clean, and it was difficult to get timely service when we needed something. The baby pork ribs were decent, but the other dishes we ordered were quite mediocre. To make matters worse, I saw a hair in the dumplings.
Overall, the restaurant might perform better when it’s fully staffed, clean, and during peak hours. However, during our visit, we were concerned about the hygiene and didn’t receive the level of service we expected.
Ps. It will be also better if it’s not disposable chopsticks🥢

Very good food , BBQ is the best too. Recommend La Galbi and spicy beef bulgoki. The waiters are very nice and respectful
Food is really good , I highly recommend special pho. The waiter are really nice too. The one with the glasses is the best server.
We had ribeye steak and spicy bulgoki beef. Everything was cooked perfectly and the food was delicious! Authentic Burmese food with great service! I would highly recommend!
