When we went in, no one greeted us. We were waiting infront of the cashier and she did not greet us until her husband came up to the cashier asking if she had helped us yet. While we sat at our table waiting for the food to come out, we said thank you multiple times but received no response. Food, taste-wise, not bad but sad part was that the kapoon/red curry with noodles was cold and they never came back out to check if evrything was ok. Other customers came and they greeted them and conversated with them; which was sad because they were not responsive with us.

New to the neighborhood and ordered for pick up. I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to good Thai food. I worked at "King and I" and "Sawatee". Egg rolls and pad thai were GREAT!!! We will be ordering regularly ❤️

I finally had a chance to order the pork belly larb, after they canceled my last order unexpectedly. YUCK!!As soon as I opened the styrofoam box the odor was strong. There's NOWAY this pork belly is fresh.Not to mention the larb has no spice. Even though I ordered it medium/hot.The porkbelly was chewy and gross. The skin wasn't crispy. It also wasn't served with lettuce or cabbage.Go to SMOKE SESSION FOOD TRUCK or UNISON IN SAINT PAUL.I honestly want my $19 back for this half a container of sticky rice and rotten pork belly. Do not waste your money.

Not a traditional sit down restaurant. You order up at the counter and they bring your food to you. We ordered 1 xl boat noodle, combo fried rice was told it came with 1 eggroll or 2 wontons (we chose eggroll but never got it) and 1 stuffed chicken wing. The boat noodle was okay, had a lot of meat and good broth. The noodles were a little soggy. The fried rice was decent. Plenty of meat and shrimp. The chicken wing was dry but they pepper was good. Service was terrible, they never refilled our water, the server was just on his phone. We had to buy drinks just to quench our thirst from the chicken wing. Willing to give this place another chance due to their pork belly laab looks good. If they can improve service this place would be a decent spot to eat.

A wonderful little place for a quick and delicious lunch. I'm a sucker for phở and Lucky Pearl didn't disappoint. Great flavor, a generous portion and service was super fast. I'll definitely be making this one of my regular spots.

Pork belly had a nice crisp on its skin and was well seasoned. Egg rolls were tasty too but didn’t care for the peanut sauce. The star was the pepper sauce that came with the pork—very flavorful and spicy with fresh herbs—just wish it was filled at least at the halfway mark rather than 1/4 of the cup. Service was very friendly with reasonable prices. Recommend with you like Asian comfort food.Update 4/6/23Food is inconsistent and a lot of it isn’t fresh. Came around 5 pm and egg rolls were old and cold. They need to replace old food more regularly if they want returning customers. 75 cents for pepper sauce that is pretty much emptied is outrageous.
I love the pork belly laab from here and is probably the only thing I would spend my money on. Unfortunately, their service is garbage. Multiple times, I've had to wait over 30 minutes for them to complete my order. Reminder, it's a deli, so most times, the food is already "ready". They only take one order at a time. Then they work on the order until it's complete before taking another order. Which wastes my time. Today, I ordered only, and gave them plenty of time before I went in to pick up, just to find out my order wasn't even worked on yet. Had to wait another 15 minutes waiting around. Very poorly managed and customer service is awful.

Pork belly laab was the best dish from my takeout order, so I recommend it. The items I would ask them to improve are the egg rolls and pepper dip. Rolls were not warm or crispy and the pepper dip was over-salted.

My first time here. The beef pho was pretty tasty. But the pork belly was not hitting. I couldn’t chew the skin at all it was rubbery and tasted stale. I should have read the review before I even came here. I was really excited to try the pork belly. Also 2$ for a can soda.

I've heard so many great things about this restaurant and knew I needed to give it a try. This restaurant is a serve yourself dine in experience. You basically order whatever food they have ready and then some will be made on demand. But you basically grab your own utensils, drinks, Napkins, and etc.I didn't have the best impression on my first visit to this restaurant. There was nothing that really stood out to me about their food that was a "must try". So if I were to give this review solely based on my first time there, it wouldn't have been so great.I thought that I'm going to try eating there again. Mainly because they were close to a relatives house and I was hungry. I'm so glad I decided to give them another try. This time around, their food was phenomenal and I finally understood the hype everyone had mentioned about their food. I was even nervous at first when I ordered the papaya salad and there was a younger lady making it. IYKYK. The papaya salad was sooo good. It had the perfect combination of sweet and sour for me. The papaya itself wasn't too soft or too hard. And the pork belly was "chefs kiss". It was cooked to perfection. The fat melted in your mouth and the actual meat wasn't tough or chewy. Now this is a must stop place for me if I'm in the area again!

Food is good and worth the price. I would recommend getting the pork belly laab. If you buy the pork belly alone, it's not that good.. Kapoon is good here as well! Wings are ok and the the angel stuffed wings could use more work on it, it's dry.
