This is a new restaurant located downtown in the small town of Selma, NC. Staff are friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the menu is full of a variety of Thai dishes and sandwiches, and Vietnamese style dishes. The ambience is classy, has average noise level, and has an authentic Asian vibe. I love the brick walls and Asian pictures. The owners are friendly, family-oriented, and professional. I visited this new restaurant on Day 5 of the Grand Opening. I will return again this week, and this will be a regular dining spot for me. This is a big deal for Selma, NC. I highly recommend this restaurant...Let's grow!

Thai Tea

This was a great place to stop by for a quick lunch. It was very busy and we were lucky to get a seat at peak lunch rush. The seating was a bit tight. I really enjoyed their bahn mi. The sauce on the bahn mi was very flavorful and I highly recommend adding some of their chili flakes along with it. We had quick service. Will be back for sure. Hoping to try some of their noodle or rice dishes next.

Outside of Restaurant

I had to come on here and show some love to The Asian Eatery!! But The food was AMAZINGGG. I tried the egg rolls, Thai wings, pho, and the Souper Rice (with marinated beef, lemongrass chicken & pork) -- everything was seasoned perfectly and full of flavor! Not only was the food top-tier, but the environment was super clean, welcoming, and friendly. The customer service is A1, the staff is so kind, and the food came out really quick. Oh--and the milk tea was soooo good too! And let's talk about the prices... extremely affordable I will definitely be making this 30-minute drive to Selma again VERY soon!

Bahn Mi marinated pork.

Very clean, staff is extremely nice. We got here right when they opened due to seeing how popular they are. Now we know why! I highly recommend this place. I wish it was closer to me. My boyfriend and I drove an hour just to try their food. He had the Super Pho with a pork Banh Mi and I had Chicken Pho with half a pork Banh Mi. It was so good I wish I ordered an extra Bahn Mi to bring home. If you have time definitely give this place a try.

Rice bowl with grilled pork

This is such a great find in the cutest spot in downtown Selma. The staff was super attentive and the food was delicious. The bread for the banh mi was perfect similar to sandwich spots in the Bay Area. Loved it. Parking is street parking in a historical downtown setting. Great for kiddos who don't enjoy Vietnamese, they have chicken nuggies.

I have been in search of a good pho spot in North Carolina for a while and I think I have finally…read morefound it. This restaurant is authentic and the broth here really hit the spot for me. The also has all the side condiments you would want to go with your pho which is hard to find around here. The service was also amazing, they sat us down quickly, took our orders almost right away, and the food came out in about 10-15 minutes. The restaurant itself was well decorated, bright, and clean. I will 100% be coming back when I am in the area.

Second visit. First time, slow service but good food. We gave grace…read more This time? A reminder that aesthetic does not equal execution. The space is lively and well-designed. It photographs beautifully. Unfortunately, restaurants aren't judged on lighting. We ordered everything upfront: Banh Xeo (explicitly no shrimp due to a shellfish allergy), Cha Gio, Pho Tai, and the Chef Special. Somehow, not everything was entered correctly. The Banh Xeo arrived covered in shrimp. Allergy clearly stated. It was sent back immediately. We were told they could remake it, but it would "take a while because it takes a long time to make." Banh Xeo takes under 10 minutes in a properly run kitchen. We declined and assumed the rest of our meal would arrive promptly. It didn't. The egg rolls weren't just fried, they were fully baptized in oil. One bite and it felt like chewing on a sponge that lost a fight with the fryer. Then we watched tables seated at least 15 minutes after us receive their food before we did. When we asked about the remainder of our order, we were told it had "just been added" and would take a while. Pho taking 35+ minutes in a Vietnamese restaurant isn't high volume. It's disorganization. The Chef Special was decent. The pho, which should be the backbone of the menu, was underwhelming. Several tables around us had incorrect orders or long delays. The owner circulated, but instead of urgency or accountability, the energy felt inconvenienced. Here's the reality: great atmosphere can draw people in once. Food and leadership bring them back. If you're going because it looks trendy and buzzing, go in with eyes open. The aesthetic might be the star of the room, but the food should be.
