My favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. The prices are CHEAP and their Sweet and Sour Pork is amazing — instead of goopy like most places, it is slightly crispy and then coated with the sauce. YUM I usually get carry out. The restaurant is nothing fancy — it looks like it used to be a fast food burger joint.

I have eaten at this place many times. The chinese food there is A-OK(3 stars), but the phở(Vietnamese beef noodle soup) is «Woohoo! As good as it gets!»(5 stars). When you first walk into this place, it isn’t the greatest appeal. The tables and chairs are worn. My wife and I decided to go for the buffet the first visit there. The food had been sitting out for awhile, and the dishes were just soaked in sauce. Some of the dishes had been refilled, and those were much better, however, it still lacked quality overall. While we ate the buffet, we noticed everyone around ordering or eating phở. It was quite strange to see. The next few times we went, we got the phở. It was amazing. I have eaten phở at a lot of places around the city, but this place is definitely on the top of my list! The broth is very well seasoned, rich, and flavorful. I don’t even need to add the hoisin, fish sauce, etc.; however, I do add spice(chili oil or Sriracha). The portion size comes in Regular and Jumbo. I tend to eat a lot and the Jumbo goes beyond satisfying my hunger. The price for it is very good. The service here is great. They are attentive and very nice. My wife and I now go there almost every week, just for their phở. There aren’t many good phở places on this side of town, so I am glad I found this gem.

Ordered fresh spring rolls and one of them had a dirty straw wrapper in it. My husband and I immediately returned to the restaurant and the owner said it was«lettuce». It was as clear as day what it was and the owner finally agreed with embarrassment. We only ever order Phở from here and haven’t had any problems before. But clearly the chef isn’t using sanitary practices in the kitchen and makes you wonder what is being done in the kitchen!!! Will be looking for another place to eat.

My husband and I just moved in the area and figured we give it a try. Walked in and saw all the Asians eating phở, which should of been a sign that this is their best dish there. We ended up ordering off their chinese menu(because you think a chinese restaurant would have good chinese food), but the food was meh. Their phở(which is a vietnamese cusine) is . Its really flavorful, probably my favorite place for Phở now. Apparently, the owners are Cantonese that lived in Vietnam for awhile, which explains why its so yum! Atmosphere-wise, they need Chef Gordon Ramsey to come freshin this joint up, its dirty, old and looks like a diner from the 50’s. Chairs are coming apart and sticky. Floor is suppose to be red but looks murky/black. Don’t order the wonton soup, its straight up salt water.

Their phở is amazing! Especially the house special. Thats basically the only thing I get from that place. They have a buffet too but I personally don’t like it.

I had the most uncomfortable experience here. My boyfriend was told that they had great phở here so we decided to stop by one day. The buffet looked like it sat out for a while so that was not an option for us at all. My boyfriend ordered the phở and I ordered a noodle dish but I ordered the wrong dish. When the server brought it out I told her I ordered the wrong dish and if she could put in a new order for me. She brought the food back and was loudly arguing with the cook that I was at fault and I ordered wrong. I’m sure the whole restaurant heard. I felt horrible. We apologized to our server and took the wrong order to go. The service was unprofessional, I would never come back here again.

I come here for my Phở fix. The Phở taste great and the service is good. Haven’t tried any of the other foods besides the sesame chicken but the place is ok. Dining area is clean and the bathrooms are also clean! Will have pictures to show…

I’ve been sampling the take-out tofu/bean curd dishes in the area. This one was the worst. It’s advertised as spicy, but it’s actually sweet. The sauce is very thin, not the rich brown szechuan sauce that I enjoy. The tofu was mushy. Very, very disappointing. I’ll return and try their phở some day, but I won’t be having this dish again.

Best place to eat! They have wonderful service and food! Everyone that works there has NO attitude. Buffet was great and the phở was delicious! Please order their kong pow chicken with extra spicy and extra peanuts this will make your day! Their egg rolls are the best in the world, yum yum eat up people! :)
