Disgusting and over priced. Staff seemed unhappy and very short to talk to. Won't be returning.

I regularly order at Lucky Pearl Cafe for takeout. Today, I decided to dine in. I ordered p1 beef pho regular, spring rolls, and mango bubble tea ? Everything was delicious as usual. The staff were welcoming and kind.

First day back to Lucky Pearl Cafe under new ownership. I got the Laab Xieng Khuang and a side of small sticky rice. Cashier was super nice. Cashier asked if I wanted spicy and bitter or spicy and sour. I requested spicy and sour. I probably should have gotten less spicy because this was spicy! Just look at the pic for reference of how much peppers were added. I loved the balance of flavors. There was plenty of meat, and the portion size for the price was really good. I also like the portion of tripe and veggies to meat ratio. It felt very well balanced. I really like how much cucumbers and lettuce they included. There was plenty more laab under all that lettuce too. The sticky rice was perfect! It wasn't too soft or too hard.

Place is actually good. Service is a little slow, but cant complain when they only have 1 cook. Pork Belly is prob one of the best ive ever had. crispy, easy to bite into. if i could, i would eat here maybe twice a week.
The food was really good! Can’t wait to come back!

food was great. they absolutely gave more proteins than most places, which I love! you can seat yourself, order and pay in the beginning. there’s no actually server as this is a small family business. so don’t expect too much when it comes to service.

No words can explain how good the food here was. Taste was on point. The papaya was good, I don't remember the last time I've tasted good papaya. Even the pepper was good. You don't ever get any good pepper from hmong restaurants, it's always to plain and to watery, but this place here won't disappoint you with the good food and pepper.
My 1st visit was a Friday night 5pm. I didn't know you order at the register and then sit down, so instead I stood at the door for 5-10 min with no greeting. I figured it out after people came in after me, and ordered at the front. I would've sat down and waited but all the tables were dirty, full if plates and left over food. It wasn't even busy, and there were workers just walking around. The group that came in after me grabbed the cleanest table, brushed off some rice on the counter and sat down. The gal at the front went straight to preparing the last order without even acknowledging me. Since there were no clean tables and lack of customer service, I left. Maybe it was a bad night, whatever.
2nd visit, gave it another shot. Saturday at lunch time I showed up. Again...half the tables were dirty, no one cleaning it. Let's at least try the food. They had the typical hmong deli options on the menu. I ordered, found a semi clean table in which I grabbed some extra napkins and wiped it off myself. The food arrived in cheap plastic plates you buy at a dollar store when ure throwing a typical hmong party at your house. The food was nothing special. Tastes just like the stuff u get at any deli. But the service was soo bad and the atmosphere, cleanliness and cheap silverware didn't make this a pleasant experience. I barely finished my food, cleaned off my own table and I'm never coming back. Felt bad for the gal up front cause she tried to do her best, while a few workers around her just walked back and forth from the back to the front ignoring dirty tables. There are cleaner tables and better service at the Hmong Market and Hmong Vilage.

Tasteless!
Ordered a Thai boat noodle last week, and it tasted nothing like any of the local boat noodles. In fact, it tasted like nothing at all and was extremely oily. Couldn't even pass as a regular pho. Almost funeral pho like, but worse.
Gave them another chance and ordered lunch again. This time, I chose the tricolor and Hmong sausage with sticky rice. You can't really mess that up, right? Wrong! Who boils their Hmong sausages? The dipping pepper was just as bad. The tricolor dish was the worst I've ever had.
Shame on me for trying again. Highly would not recommend!

Food is great but service needs to be worked on. I literally was the first one there, ordered my food to go, then 2 other ppl came behind me and ordered their food to go. I just ordered the food that was readily available, pork belly and spring rolls. The person running things decided to make all the orders at the same time. I understand if we all had the same dishes, but they were all different. He literally cut my pork belly into pieces and brought out the springrolls, but he didnt even bag it up for me or send me on my way. I had to wait for the cook to complete all the ppls dishes, and we all got our to go orders at the same time. Like really? So it doesnt matter if you get their first or 5th, they will prepare all of it as a huge meal.
