Absolutely the worst place ever me and my friend are Muslim and vegetarian and they gave all of us beef and pork soup when we clearly asked for no meat no beef no pork and asked if they understood and they said yes. I feel !!!!!!!!DISCRIMINATED!!!!!!!!!! AGAINST at this restaurant. maybe they hate Muslims or something because this seems too wrong to make sense. We all got different things is what makes it weird. Please don’t waste you’re money here there is better food around the area

First and last time here! Service is terrible like I’m really pissed off I drove 20 minutes to try there food and I’m vegetarian and Muslim me and my friend. And I specifically explained that to the cashier and when I get the food guess what drum roll please… ITS PORK IN BEEF BROTH I would understand if it was one thing in the order but the WHOLE GOD DAME ORDER IS WRONG the only thing they got right was putting it in a bag. How do you live in America and can’t speak a lick of English. Ya thing saying NO BEEF NO MEAT IM VEGETARIAN AND MUSLIM SHOULD GIVE YOU A HINT. Had a long day to go home and have my whole night ruined thank you very much for being as shallow and empty headed as possible!
Vegetarian options: Don’t go here vegetarians they can’t speak enough English to get your order right I tried to explain it to them in dumb layman terms.

This has to be the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in terms of both food and service. We ordered a bowl of rice noodles and a bowl of beef brisket rice. Let me start with the rice noodles. The few slices of paper-thin beef were charged an extra $3.25, along with crab meat sticks cut into 1/3, a few kernels of corn, some paper-thin luncheon meat, and a small bowl of rice noodles.
Now, let’s talk about the real problem: the beef brisket rice! It was absolutely disgusting. It was completely inedible because the beef was like rubber bands. We couldn’t chew it, so we called the waitress over. The first thing she said was, "I already told you not to order the rice. You should have ordered side dishes. Now that you’ve tasted it, I can’t change it for you." I thought to myself, how could I have known it was impossible to chew if I hadn’t tried it? She then claimed only uneaten dishes can be exchanged—does she expect them to take the dish back to the kitchen and serve it to the next customer? I was so shocked by her response that I couldn’t speak. Then She simply walked away.
She then brought over some side dishes from another table to show me what I "should have ordered," implying that I made the wrong choice by ordering the large chuck beef brisket. I asked her to bring the owner, but she confidently told me the owner wasn’t there. I then asked her to call the manager because I couldn’t believe any restaurant would treat customers like this.
However, instead of calling the manager, the waitress offered us a free bowl of noodles, which normally costs $2. She said we could share it, with my husband getting my soup portion. We spent $32 in total, and they were offering us noodles worth less than $3. We couldn’t accept it and had completely lost our appetite. We decided to leave and not to make a scene.
At the front desk, the cashier was constantly on her phone, which was extremely unprofessional. When we went to pay, she gave us a disdainful look while processing our bill, as if we were interrupting her phone call.
After we got home, I read other reviews of the restaurant and was shocked. They automatically charge an 18% tip for two people, and when there was a foreign object in the milk tea. They claimed it was placed there by a customer who wanted a free drink.
Please avoid this restaurant, as it will give you a terrible experience.

I was extremely disappointed. I ordered a beef rice dish, but the beef was as tough as rubber and completely inedible. What was even more frustrating was the service. When I told the server about the issue, she repeatedly asked me, “Why did you order this dish?”—which was incredibly rude. I didn’t want to engage with her further.
I’ve never encountered such poor service at a restaurant!

The place is known for its noodles which are solid. However, the fried chicken is AMAZING! We typically order the original flavor (don’t use the chili dipping sauce that comes with it as it detracts from the tasty fried chicken flavor in my opinion.) The chicken always comes out hot and fresh and they are delicious. I would highly recommend them. Kid approved as well lols.
Service has always been great here and the wait staff is very attentive.

Ordered a boba. There were foreign objects in the drink. Finger nail sized, plastic looking objects that were breakable. The lady in the photo had the audacity to blame it back on me and said that I put the objects in the drink just so I can get free drink. Unbelievable.

This was maybe my most disappointing meals out ever. The "braised pork belly" seemed to actually be boiled in water and had no trace of seasoning or flavor, and the fat was inedible due the boiling.
The 'bang bang chicken' is so carelessly cut that it is 90% dangerous sharp bones that you would likely injure yourself if you attempted to get the meat from them, and also had absolutely no trace of seasoning or flavor apart from the chili crisp they drizzled on it.

Bubbling, rich, luxurious red curry broth with veggies, chewy noodles, and 2 plump whole shrimp. Crispy pumpkin cakes, and passionfruit boba tea. No way I can finish all of this deliciousness! Staff was so welcoming and quick to make wonderful suggestions. I will be back!

Legit forgot my noodles in the soup. Not sure if this waiter is still around since this was a few years ago but he seemed terribly out of it. Also added an automatic tip which is actually obscene for the service provided, like others mentioned
