"I went here with my friends for the first time this weekend and found the food amazing. We always try to find new restaurants to try out and everything we had here was delicious. We thought it was a little expensive but the portions are big. Worth the price with the portion size. There is also a 4% discount if you pay with cash. The average wait time I'd say is about maybe 10 minutes for the first appetizer to come out. It was the weekend, so it can be a longer wait time since it is busy. I would say that the inside was a bit tight and that we were lucky to find an empty table. So if you do come here, keep in mind that there might not be a table for you but do dine in for the experience because it felt homely. Now let me talk to you about the food: 1) The Crab Rangoon is a must if you come here: It is not your typical crab rangoon with just cream cheese and crab meat. This crab Rangoon is by far the best crab Rangoon I have ever had. It has bits of carrots and scallions and taste a bit sweeter, which compliments the sourness of the cream cheese. 2) Thum Mak Houng: in other words, papaya salad. One of the best papaya salads I've had as well. The sauce of the papaya salad is different from a lot of other Asian restaurants I've been to. This one has a nice tamarind sauce to it that had the perfect amount of sweet and sour. If you asked for spicy, they tell you the amount of chili peppers that they will put in it. We had 10 Chilli peppers in ours. 3) I also recommend any soup or curry. The curry can be spicy but the flavor is worth the kick. It has a nice creamy taste to it that compliments the veggies. The broth for the soup and curry are amazing and it felt light. It did not feel heavy at all and tastes refreshing and full at the same time. Highly recommend this place!"

"I try not to write reviews I think might affect businesses in any negative way, but I tried to give this restaurant three chances before I finally decided to write my review. First time I visited, it was many years ago, almost 4 years ago. My order came out wrong and it was tasteless. But it was my first time and I thought it might’ve been just a mistake that they mixed my order and did not get it right. It was simply a veggie pho, however, they gave me meat pho broth with vegetables. Vegetarian should mean only vegetarian, no meat, no animals broth and no meat. Just vegetarian! I never went back because I did not like to spend money on bad quality food and at a place that doesn’t not honor customer food requests. When I go dining out I would like to enjoy my meal safely because I am taking a break. After I got married, my husband tried to convince me that it was a good place because he had never had any issues. But at the same time he only orders the same dish. I decided to go with him, and after we ordered, our drinks this time never made it to the table. I was not so impressed by the customer service, but I thought maybe they are very busy and it was an honest mistake. Our orders were okay, I was very scared to order anything so I just got the fresh spring rolls because I can at least see what’s in it. He got the usual order yellow shrimp curry. Because he is a pescatarian. No meat. Yesterday, a friend of ours invited us to go for pho. I was apprehensive about it but I thought it would be nice to have something warm like pho since it was a cold no night. I’ll start with the service: We waited 20 minutes and no one came to take our order. I had to flag them down to get our order. The person who took our order did not take any notes. We orders two drinks, vegetarian egg rolls, one vegetarian yellow curry, one shrimp yellow curry, and one seafood (only shrimp) noodle special. One drink made it to the table, I got completely different order, the egg rolls were chicken egg rolls and they were ice cold, and we got chicken yellow curry. So the only thing that was right it was the veggie yellow curry. Everything else is a complete different order. We sent back the chicken curry to get a fresh shrimp yellow curry, and the egg rolls as well to get vegetarian cooked properly. It almost terrified me to find out they send back the yellow curry with chicken pieces and same broth with some shrimp. I send it back and I said we do not want it and we want it to be removed from our orders. They bring back a third bowl of shrimp curry and this time they swear it’s fresh! I told them I do not want it and they need to remove it from our orders. We decided to share our orders and just call it a night. The nightmare continues. We found out the seafood special rice noodle pho had beef broth instead of just seafood broth. We were horrified by the entire experience. This was extremely disappointing and honestly scary. If you can, avoid for your sanity sake and to safe your money! Dietary restrictions: Be careful they do not change or accommodate to your restrictions.
