Okay at best: I picked this place since I wanted to branch out from the normal pho places I usually go to. I got the pho, chicken wings and the fried dumplings. I will start with the dumplings which were great the sauce was a perfect blend of sweet and savory that I look for, the dumplings were nice and warm and crunchy everything you could want.Next the chicken wings, which were by far the most disappointing, bland, boring, and if they were the price advertised on the menu I would have been nicer but they have not updated there menu as the chicken wings were two dollars more. Which again isn't aggregious but for the quality to be that bad it was a waste of money.Finally the pho the main reason for my trip, it was alright, I did like that I could really taste herbs they used but I've definitely had better pho before, the noodles were nice and firm and overall it was decent but I wouldn't make my way here for it again. But their chili oil is some of the best I've ever had, I didn't understand how good Chilli oil could be until coming here.Overall a pretty okay experience but for the money I spent and the food I got I would not come back here again.Parking: Kind of awkward parking situation but nothing to hard to navigate.

We decided to stop by this place for lunch today and I have to say this place is pretty good! Better than i expected and it's close to home. We ordered pork padthai, pho special, pho meatballs, raw laab no bitter, sticky rice and spring roll. All dishes were delicious. The padthai was sweet & sour, the pho broth was not over powering of sweetest and the broth were more clear which i liked a lot. The raw laab was good, even though we ordered no bitter, still tasted a little bitter but not where i cannot bare. It was very good compare tonother places that i have order this dish. Spring roll was good, great combination on the veggies and protein. This place is definitely a great place to try if you're in the neighborhood or if you want some asain food, Chinese, Vietnamese and thai food. We definitely will be eating there more.

The food was amazing! We ordered small egg rolls (perfect), cream cheese wontons (could use more filling and a little overcooked but decent), Bun salad w/ grilled chicken (delicious), and green curry w/ chicken (yummy). My only complaint is we had to wait an hour for our food. I ordered online and they initially gave me a 15-20 minute pick-up time but it just kept getting extended. I would recommend dining in or avoid ordering on a Friday night.

New owner, young and driven. Dine in experience is a 5 star. Have tried multiple dishes during a few brunch time, and the majority hits the spot. The Pho portion wise is baby size for a large. Shouldn't be so concerned about preserving noodles and meat when the portion for the other dishes is 2x more at the cost of the same price.Other then the Pho, everything else is great. As for take out. Their ½ tray take outs are reasonable. Flavors are spot on with my few last orders.

I’ve heard of this restaurant through some reels I saw on Facebook. I thought to give them a try since I love raw bitter beef laab. I drove 3 1/2 hours to try this restaurant and I have to say the beef laab was a 10/10. Food service was quick and fast, even though there was a lot of online pick up orders, they’re able to get my food out less than 20 mins. Oh! And no one even mentioned that it is an hmong restaurant. Thank you for the amazing food. I definitely appreciate it and recommend those who want simple and traditional food. This is the place to go.

Food was delicious! My favorite is the papaya salad and isan laab. The pho was decent, not as flavorful for me. Thai tea was also super yummy & sweet to my liking. Spent roughly $70 including tips which I think was reasonable for all that we ordered.

I went here this morning with a few buddies not expecting much, but the Pho was bussin, and the staff was very welcoming.I'm definitely going back when I need a recovery meal ?

We've been here several times and really wanted to like it. Staff is nice and food is on time. The pho is bad, very bland broth and meat wasn't tasty. We tried it three times. Also tried stir fry which was good but very small portion. The cream cheese puffs were good, not the best ever but pretty good. My husband is Vietnamese is my review is backed up

We ordered a couple stir fried Dishes to-go, it was about 14-16 dollars each. Very disappointed with the portions, very small for the cost compared to others. The taste wasn't bad, but wasn't outstanding to warrant the price vs portion ratio. Tried supporting a local business, but we won't be coming back after several Times of this.

Great food!I got the Thai Basil and the red curry chicken. Both were very good and spiced to the right amount.The atmosphere though… not the nicest restaurant in the world. More of a place you’d get takeout or just get some lunch. Definitely not a dinner date destination.I will absolutely be going here again for lunch or getting takeout for the family!

The food is excellent and the place smells delicious. I came craving Pad Thai but was sorely tempted by the pho—the restaurant smells lightly of very good beef bone broth. The store is clean, and there's a generous assortment of condiments on the tables. The proprietor is really warm and friendly and keeps refilling my water glass without my having to ask. I wish I could pick up the whole restaurant and take it home to Iowa with me.

Food is terrible. Instant pho is better. The tilapia dish has no flavor at all.

We ordered boat noodles, beef broth pho, chicken broth pho, and papaya salad. The papaya salad flavor was really good. It also came with lettuce and pork grinds which helped cut the spiciness. The boat noodles was really good and I was impressed. The portions were good for the price too. I forgot to take pictures, but I recommend this place to try. It's kind of like a hidden gem.

I went to Wild Orchid for first time. I ordered sesame chicken and rice. The rice was not warm and chicken only semi-warm. The wontons were hot. I asked if the meal could be warmed up. I could not understand the response I was given but no effort was given to do anything. The chicken tasted like rubber with no taste. It was also supposed to be spicy and was not. Even the rice was strange as the soy sauce did not even darken it. When I went to pay, the card reader did not work with credit card. Never going back.
