This place is seriously underrated. We almost let the Yelp reviews scare us away, but I'm glad we…read moregave it a chance. The iced coffee was amazing, the beef pho had a rich flavorful broth, and the hu tieu was excellent too. The customer service was actually great -- the owners are older Vietnamese people and you can tell it's a small family-run restaurant. They're not rude at all, just older and probably handling a lot themselves. I think some people mistake that for bad service when it's really just a more traditional environment. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food made with care, this spot is definitely worth trying.

Some Context: As someone who's of Vietnamese descent and…read morelives in Southern California (home to the most Vietnamese outside of Vietnam), I have had some of the best pho in North America. I knew going in that having pho anywhere else would probably be disappointing, but I always hope for a pleasant surprise. The Food: I can only comment on what I ordered: pho dac biet (special combo pho with rare steak slices, well-done brisket, flank tendon, and and tripe). Taste wise it was ... alright. The noodles were standard, the meats were good, and the tendon was delicious. The problem was that the broth was kinda bland, lacking the delicate mix of herbs and seasonings that a good bowl of pho should have. And anyone who enjoys noodle soups knows that if the broth doesn't cut it, the whole meal suffers. Don't get me wrong, the other pho ingredients were quality, but the bland broth was a let down. The Cost: The bigger letdown were the prices, which had me saying, "What the pho?!" My combo bowl was $27. That would be an outrageous price for pho in Southern California (where prices have skyrocketed), so you could imagine my "sticker shock." And the costs for the other entrees ranged from $14 to $20. While the portions were large, I'm not sure the quality justified the price. The Drink: I had a caphe sua da (or Vietnamese iced coffee) and was, again, not impressed. It tasted like it came from either a concentrate or instant coffee instead of being made in a phin, a type of slow-drip metal filter, before the condensed milk was added. Again, not a bad coffee, but the price didn't justify the average taste. The Service: The two employees were fast and friendly. They didn't check on us at all after delivering the food (standard operating procedure for most Asian restaurants), but the fact that they were polite and seemed like they cared is a big plus for a Vietnamese establishment. The Atmosphere: The restaurant was clean, spacious, and modern. Meanwhile, the bathroom was shockingly decent and well stocked. Again, two aspects that were a pleasant surprise for a Vietnamese restaurant. The Conclusion: If you're new to pho and want to be impressed, don't go here. If you're familiar with pho, need a quick fix, and don't mind paying a premium, this place will do.

The curry itself is very diluted like water. The consistency really threw me off. It's very much like a soup... Mixing it with the rice helped a bit but you could tell something was off. It doesn't have a ton of flavor. The chicken honestly was a little dry. There were a lot of veggies. I think the portion was good but that's about it. My boyfriend typically saves half his food for the next day but he threw this one out. Spring rolls 8/10: If you have to get something from this place, let it be this! The yellow sauce is liquid gold. I really enjoyed the red sauce that came with it too. Very crunchy & crispy appetizer! Drunken noodles w/ beef 6/10: I feel like you could find better drunken noodles somewhere else. The beef wasn't all that. It was too chewy. The noodles themselves were cooked properly.

I knew about Asian Cafe as I drive to work everyday. I decided to drop in and try one of the advertised specials shown on he window. I love Southeast Asian curry and gave the red curry a try. To put it mildly, it was fabulous. The curry spice was very pronounced, the coconut milk added additional flavor as well as other herbs and spices. Very authentic, why travel to Southeast Asian. You have your choice of chicken and shrimp and i guess if you wanted beef or roast pork that would be no problem. Bamboo shoots and mushrooms, green onions, perfect taste and the portion was a great value. The white rice combination absorbed all the flavor. I was sweating just a little bit. read more

Just went there tonight. Picked up my order after I got off work. Convenient location. Have always thought the had really good pork fried rice. What I got tonight was the best We have ever eaten from anywhere! Lots of veggies, meat and onions! Chicken chow mein is great too. This is the only place I will order pepper steak from. That is usually my go to. Felt like the chow mein tonight and it was a good choice for me. Great portions. Will have 2 lunches from my leftovers. Hate that I can't get there very often because I usually get off work too late to eat a meal. Off early tonight and happily stuffed!! read more

I love this place! I've had asian food everywhere (except asia) and this place is the BEST outside of San Francisco. Try the noodle soup; it's a meal in itself. The hot & sour soup is also very good. If you want the tastiest chinese food (or Pho) in the area, prepared by a very talented group of Hispanic guys, then this is your place. Great value, quick service and you won't be hungry an hour later. read more
