Beware!I am not one to write restaurant reviews, even though I eat out regularly. But I feel compelled to warn you that this is about the worst food I have ever had. The hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour but sugary sweet. I spit it back into the bowl. And the catfish in it was mostly skeleton, and my guest nearly choked on the bones. The pad Thai had zero flavor. I mean zero.This was takeout. I called them just to see what they’d have to say. It was a Friday night and their regular chef (though I don’t think they deserve that title). They only offered to remake it for me. But I really did not need to put myself through that again. I hate wasting food, but it was inedible.

Service is not always great but the sesame chicken is the best I've ever had. I've been here 3 times in the last month just for the sesame chicken. It's that good. I'm sure there are other good items on the menu but I keep coming back for the same thing. It's crispy and always has the perfect amount of sauce. The fried rice has a bit too much black pepper for my taste but is still pretty good as well.

Pretty gross. The space was not clean. There was no one else in the restaurant, but it still took awhile to be served. You can tell the oil hadn't been changed in awhile, since our wontons tasted like a mix of foods, particularly garlic. We went to grab a fork out of the cup and it was dirty. We found two dirty laddles as well. Service was subpar. All in all we were very unimpressed. We wouldn't recommend.

The pho was on the sour side.Cream cheese wontons we so delicous and packed with creamy goodness with a balanced crunch of the deep fried wrap.The chicken wings were baked.Marinated pork and Eggroll bun salad was packed with fresh veggies.

I have been here before and ordered sesame chicken combo, the price had increased and the portions was extremely good. The pork eggroll was crispy and delicious. I really enjoyed the sesame chicken, it was crispy and sweet flavored. Definitely going back here!Staff was extremely nice.

Every time I'm craving Canh chua cá and the 5 spice squid (with added tofu), I would go to caravelle. I think Caravelle, is one of the few restaurants that serve traditional Vietnamese family dishes like canh chua cá, and cá kho tộ. Food is consistently good. The pho had plenty of meat and not overkilled with noodles. Service is typical of any Asian women run shops. They cut to the chase and are quick and efficient. Some ppl may think it's not friendly but that's Vietnamese women lol. They know what they want and expect you to as well so if you're quick with your order then they'll speed away and be back with your plating and food in no time.

Fantastic authentic Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese food. We were quite impressed with everything we ate, including egg rolls, egg foo yung, sesame chicken, fried rice and chicken with Broccoli. There were plenty of leftovers for the next day. Seems family owned and operated. I would highly recommend the food and service. The restaurant could use some updating.

This is a hidden gem, went to eat here today not expecting anything really great and my sister and I both were pleasantly surprised. The mock duck dish was delicious the spring rolls were fresh and tasted great. The service was very good, prices were comparable to any other restaurant. They have two new loyal customers.
