The world is my Oyster. I crave authentic ethnic cuisine. But I've been spoiled with the elevated diversity of San Diego. All of a sudden I missed Vietnam and the fresh spring rolls and dipping sauce like the ones of the Clairmont area. Golden Chopsticks came close. Then I realized...it missed that punch of International flavor of the mint. I didn't realize how much it added to this dish. Well as a chef I came home and created what I was missing just to satisfy those cravings. My lunch partner enjoyed his pork noodles. The decor was amazing but I would switch out We are the Champions to some take me away Thai music @

A little mint in my spring fresh rolls was what I missed in my Asian tour of top cuisine. I've had some over the top delicious spring rolls and they all came with this most flavorful and aromatic herb that makes or breaks the experience. Unfortunately, the 5th star missing from this review is because so was the mint. Another casual eatery with some beautiful decor that didn't go well with the We are Champions song and pop music radio. Cool market next door for your next adventure.

The BEST!!!!!!!!!…… I love the coconut soup and the Bun!
Tried this place on a whim and we really enjoyed it! The bun (noodle dish) was flavorful, herby and had lots of good textures. Would recommend adding the Vietnamese egg rolls on top. Thom ka soup was DELICIOUS and so was the wonton soup, though a little bit different than Chinese wonton. The girl working at the front was very nice as well. Will definitely be returning here! A great takeout spot in the west cola / cayce area.

The wontons were hollow, but the spring rolls and house sauce touched my soul. The peanut chicken and Thai fried rice is amazing as well as the pepper steak I snuck off Bo plate...the teriyaki chicken sticks are juicy and full of flavor....prices excellent as well. Even though we were the only ones here, there was a little wait but that's OK when your food comes out fresh and amazing

This is still the best Vietnamese and Thai food in the Columbia area I've tried them all. They have the best tasting food at the most reasonable prices and the people are fantastic. Today I had the Spicy Beef salad (Yum Nour) and it was delicious of course I had Vietnamese egg rolls as well.You must try the Vietnamese egg rolls, I rate them the best in Columbia. ??

We moved down to SC from the DC area 8 years ago and we have been searching for authentic Vietnamese food ever since. We found it here last night! Excellent quality, authentic environment and excellent family staff! We will be back!
More of a Thai place than Vietnamese. Still, the service was good and the pho was standard. If you want "full service pho" this isn't the place. Still, recommended for excellent service, beer service and Thai food.

This place has always been a go to. Been coming here for my birthday since I was a kid. The food is so fresh, and delicious obviously. A lovely family runs the restaurant & the small grocery store next door. You can’t go wrong here. Personal favs: the bun, the curry, the tom kha kai soup (get a large & split it as an app!), the Spring Rolls. ?(The amount of food you get for the price is great too)

Finally. Finally I have experienced true Vietnamese cuisine. Wonderful atmosphere, clean, beautifully decorated, clean restrooms, and marvelously tasty food. My appetizer was steamed chicken dumplings, which were served quite quickly. Then I had the ginger chicken with steamed rice. The portions were pretty filling and steaming hot when served. I really love this place, no complaints at all.
