Was there last night, got the Wonton Soup, it is fantastic! I’ve never had a Wonton soup that good. Lots of noodles, wontons and an amazing broth.
The woman I talked to (I thinks she was an owner) was super sweet and friendly.
Will definitely be back…a lot!!!

I've overlooked this place because there's a superbThai restaurant just across the parking lot. but today I wanted to try something new and I am just thrilled. I got the bulgogi beef stir fry in the sweet basil and it does have a good sauce and the vegetables are fresh. It's perfectly cooked. I see bean sprouts and carrots onions, broccoli. Every mouthful has just one of the best sauces I've ever had. This is an excellent choice for today. Reasonable prices. Generous portions. Fast service but there was a line. You got to check out the bathrooms. They are gorgeous and clean and fresh smelling. Mom always used to say you can tell what the kitchen's like when you go in the bathroom. This is a superb place. The decor is very refreshing and the music is so appropriate and relaxing. I think I have a new place to stop between my family in Blaine and my home in

Ginger boat was delicious and just as good as I remembered back in college. The portion size are big and you won’t go hungry after your meal. I went with the classic Terriyaki and you can’t go wrong with that. The service was quick and friendly. Can’t wait to come back again :)

The food here was so delicious and the service was great. We had the Phad Lao and the Pho. Admittedly, we played it safe since it was our first time eating there, but both were outstanding

Excellent counter-service Asian fusion restaurant. Had 3 different types of vegetarian noodles (yakisoba, japchae, and drunken). All were so tasty!! The service was also so friendly!

The food here is great. It's all fresh and flavorful. Arguably the best Pho in Bellingham. The atmosphere is casual but also very comfortable and relaxing.

My only complaint is the service has been very slow all three times I have been. It won't even be busy and it will take 30-45 minutes to get a soup.

We wanted to check this place out after seeing the menu after a long day out. The place was very calm, relaxing, and clean. I had the teriyaki combo and the food was so good I was tempted to order more if I wasn’t already full. I would come here again!

UPDATE: Sadly, the quality of the food decreased dramatically in the past few months, so I feel compelled to lower my rating from 5 to 3. We ordered 2 servings of vegetable yakisoba and both were lukewarm and dry, as if they had been cooked the day before and then reheated for us without adding any additional sauce. (The tofu yakisoba was hot and appeared freshly cooked, so maybe that item was cooked from scratch after we ordered, since fewer people order tofu?) The clerk/server was super friendly but not knowledgeable about which items could be prepared vegan. I had to correct her about the yakisoba because she initially said it couldn't be vegan, but we had ordered it with the vegan sauce several times previously so we let her know that (and she confirmed with the cook that we were correct). We'll try again in the future to see if things change again for the better, but we were sad to see that one of our favorite places had degraded so much recently.

ORIGINAL REVIEW from a year ago: Wow, what a find! It's now among our top 5 fav restaurants in Bham. The online menu summary doesn't give a very clear sense of their having good vegetarian options, but they do! LOTS of vegan options, tofu is available on nearly everything, and you can substitute a vegan sauce on items that aren't normally veg (like the pancit). We ordered the pancit, yakisoba with tofu and vegetables, and the tofu lettuce wrap salad (not really a wrap but a salad with a warm sweet tofu-based sauce on top and chopped peanuts on the side). We also got a "glass ball soda" and a jasmine tea that were very good. Serving sizes were generous - we all left with a extra meal of leftovers. We were super impressed, with the food but also with the staff person who explained everything clearly and accurately.

I have been going here with my family since before my grandmother passed away in November 2023. I told the owners wife recently and they embraced my family with love and immense compassion. They always make my family and I feel so welcome and at home. The food being amazing and so delicious is just a bonus! Along with the amazing atmosphere. All around good vibes and amazing owners and staff!
