Delicious Hmong food all around! The sticky rice was perfectly soft, and the Hmong sausage was moist and flavorful. The stuffed chicken wing was tasty, and the papaya salad had the ideal balance of salty, sour, and spicy. The crispy pork belly was packed with flavor, and the Nava drink was refreshingly sweet. The décor could benefit from some tidying up—hiding the back counters and removing the room dividers would create a more polished, upscale feel and show greater attention to detail in the overall atmosphere.
Drove 1.5 hours just to have my Hmong food fixing and it did not miss! Everything was so good! The only thing that was questionable was the Lao style papaya salad. 😅 Other than that, definitely recommend! I already want to go back!
Love this place. Food is always good and service is great!

Very disappointed! The new owners raised the prices and lowered the portions. My large beef pho had 6 small pieces of meat flavored less. All the food had no flavored I had never seen such a small stuffed wing 👎🏼

Seriously? $25 for a papaya salad appetizer that's unbalanced in flavor and a watered-down curry they expect to pass as authentic? Stay away.
Food service is efficient and friendly, BUT the prices are too high. Their Pho, Bitter soup (very fatty pieces of intestines) & Laarb portions are small. The Papaya platter went from $39 to $50. Crispy pork needs to be a few notches crispier. One 24 oz container of papaya salad here is $16 ($17+ after tax) I'll refrain from going here now. Pho is really bland. Digital monitors showing menu prices were different on my receipt, avg by $1.50 more on each entree.
Parking: Needs better parking lighting

Under new ownership m we did carryout but people were walking in . It looks like the locals really like it. Daughter said they had updated the interior and it was much better.
Food was tasty and generous. We were disappointed in the size of the 2 egg rolls for the price, but they were tasty.
We will go back.

So I came in about an hour before closing. Honestly, most places would tell you they are done for the day, but I was greeted by friendly staff who looked happy to see me regardless of the time. They took my order, and the food I received was some of the best Asian food I've ever eaten. I ordered their pork and stuffed chicken. The most mouth-watering savory meat I've had and fresh as it could be. Let's not forget about the Boba tea. I've had boba from a couple of places now, and I think this is the most flavorful of any that I've tried. It tasted homemade, in my opinion. I will be visiting here way more often now, and I can't wait to try the duck (sadly, they were out when I got there). The owner and her husband are wonderful people as well they made me feel super welcome even though it was close to closing.

I don't think they are open anymore. Came put 5 times and they are never open
Usually when the restaurant is sold off to a new owner, most of the time they'll change up the recipe or menu but I'm glad that they kept it original and added more to the menu. Still as good as always and might even be better. Def come try, well deserve and recommend

The restaurant is like a fast food joint were you take your order in the front and sit wherever there is an open table and wait for your food to be serve. We got there papaya platter that came with a spread of chicken wings, hmong sausage, cured meat, noodles, eggs, pork grin, papaya salad etc..., boba coconut and Thai tea drinks and also a whole duck ?. The food was good. It would have been better if they have a little bowl of pepper sauce to go with all the meat on the platter.

Food was really good except that the pho was a little bit too salty. Everything came out fast and the servers were welcoming. Would recommend trying:)

Loved the food. If you’re looking for authentic delicious Hmong food this is the place. The intestine was delicious. Papaya was bomb. Can’t wait to go back again.
