Small, quaint place. We had egg rolls and shrimp fried rice. The egg rolls were amazing but the shrimp fried rice lacked flavor. We had to add soy sauce and hoisin to add flavor. Also, it was really hot inside. Didn’t feel like the air was on.

Delicious food that I feel good about eating…not something I can often say when dining out. The flavors in the Pho were amazing, the egg rolls were good, and the service was excellent!

Our first experience at Gao was so good! The food was very fresh and flavorful. We had the egg rolls, the beef flank pho with added grilled pork, and the sweet and sour pork ribs. Would definitely recommend the egg rolls, and the pho was our favorite! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Excited to have a new spot in Spearfish!

Wonderful, flavorful food, this is definitely my new go-to restaurant when I'm in Spearfish. Highly recommended, especially when you can sit on the patio and watch the creek.

Gao is terrific Vietnamese cuisine, especially for South Dakota. The Pho is wonderful.

Only ordered a boba tea but will definitely be back! The menu looks great and if the food tastes as good as the tea I'm a repeat customer! Fresh and clean inside with a pretty view too.

The fact this place isn't slammed open to close is a crime. By the best Pho in state, and the cold tea tastes like summer time. Great view, great service, great food, if you haven't gone you should. If you are looking for something new try it!

I found out about this restaurant from The Cup Happiness boba shop located in Downtown Spearfish and saw a flyer about it. I believe they both operate by the same owner. Ever since this Vietnamese restaurant first opened up, the menu was very limited at the time. However, as time gradually passed by, they began adding more food and drink items to the menu. I enjoyed eating here because the ingredients they use are authentic. My favorites are the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and the stir fried dish specifically with white rice and the fried egg. The restaurant location in Spearfish is beautifully set in the Village near the other fancy places and conveniently located right off exit 10 on I-90. If you are looking for something authentic and fancy, I would highly recommend coming here for hangouts, family gatherings, or even a date with your significant other. It is also out of the way if you are coming from the Rapid City area as the drive is an hour away, but the food is absolutely phenomenal compared to the local Vietnamese restaurants back in Downtown Rapid City.

Short and simple menu, very good food. Prices are fair; not super cheap but nothing is anymore!Biggest complaint is that the owner drives a hideously ugly vehicle and insists on parking or directly in front of the door in the way of the customers. Go park that abomination in the back.

LOVED our first experience at Gao! So thankful to have a new, unique, fresh cuisine added to Spearfish. The building is beautiful, the staff was sweet, and the food was so fresh and filled with flavor! We ordered the largest Pho dish, Chicken Wings with Fish Sauce, Sweet and Sour Ribs, Egg Rolls and a fresh Coconut to drink. It was fun to share all the dishes, we actually had food leftover because there was a lot for just two adults and two kiddos. The kids are picky eaters and loved it! Every table inside was full so it was a busy, fun atmosphere. The waitress was very attentive and quick, one of the kids dropped a spoon and she noticed from across the room and rushed to replace it right away. They took our order quickly and the food came out quickly as well. After drinking the fresh coconut the waitress opened it up so we could try the coconut “meat”, that was a highlight for the kiddos. We are excited to go back and try the Boba and also the outdoor seating overlooking the creek. Such a fun, busy spot on the weekend with the Farmhouse and Sawyer Pizza next door. We will absolutely be back soon!!

The food was so fresh and tasty! The service was quick and so friendly. I think my favorite was the sweet and sour chicken and the egg rolls but loved it all. Even my daughter, who is a picky eater liked the food!
