    Kua Kai with tofu
    Mel G.

    Food is beautifully prepared, portions are huge. Service was prompt and friendly. Place was full and a lot of carry out was being picked up too.

    It was delicious, the service was good, and we enjoyed it.

    Duck Red Curry
    Leesa C.

    Quick and friendly service. Small restaurant with a pretty extensive menu. The duck red curry was flavorful and the duck skin was still crispy. Tofu and fish dish was quite flavorful. The boat noodles were just ok.. the beef was too dry and overcooked, and the broth was nice and just tastes like pho broth. Would go back for the duck and try other curries

    Salad roll.

    To be honest, this place probably deserves closer to three stars, but I didn't quite have the heart…read moreto rate it that low. I know firsthand how challenging it can be for small business owners--especially immigrant-owned businesses. That said, there were several shortcomings that affected our experience. The issues started when ordering. There were two vegetarians in our group, and while many of the ramen dishes listed an option to add vegetables, I wanted to confirm whether the broth itself was vegetarian. Unfortunately, our server repeatedly said she didn't know and didn't offer to check with the kitchen. One ramen listed a miso broth, which is typically vegetarian, but when I asked about that specifically, I received the same response. To be safe, we ordered the clearly labeled vegetarian ramen, while my husband ordered the miso ramen. His dish arrived almost immediately, while the rest of us waited at least 15 minutes longer. When his ramen was delivered, there was no explanation or indication that ours was coming shortly. He tried to eat slowly so we could eat together, but he was nearly finished by the time our bowls arrived. One other small but noticeable issue: it was around Christmas, and the holiday music playlist was extremely limited. We heard the same songs rotate four times, which became a bit distracting. My advice would be to invest more in server training, especially around menu knowledge, and perhaps update the music playlist. With some improvements in service and attention to detail, this place could be much better.

I got the tempura veggie roll, and that was so good! Wish I would have gotten 2 orders of that! My sister got avocado roll also, and some type of shrimp udon bowl. She had a couple of the tempura veggie rolls I offered, and that was her favorite! Order at the counter, then they bring your order out to you. We decided on a table that had a padded bench and a padded chair. Most chairs are hard wood. After our sushi came out, I had to ask for soy sauce, wasabi and ginger. I really enjoyed the tempura veggie rolls, and would go back just for them!

There are small pieces of zucchini and carrot, personally I would like some other veggies.

Everything is immaculate and very nicely decorated. Once we were seated we were provided with an extensive menu of dining options. Everything on the menu looked incredible! I had difficulty choosing one thing, so I chose TWO! I chose the Banh Mi sandwich and the Wonton Noodle Soup. I love the type of rolls the sandwich was served on. The outside is crisp and flaky while the inside is soft and chewy. I asked for chicken as the meat choice. I enjoy how the carrots and cucumbers are sliced in a square straw. I think that provides a nice texture in every bite. The wonton noodle soup was delicious. I've never had soft wontons before. They've always been crispy nibbles on a side plate. I like that in this dish they were part of the soup. I was a little disappointed in the vermicelli noodles though. They were nicely done and very tasty, but there were so many that they clumped together and were difficult to get a bite of without getting a whole mouthful. Also of note were the drinks. I chose the pineapple tea and it was MARVELOUS! All in all, lunch was an amazing experience and I will always remember that meal with my stepmom.

I am a huge Bánh mì (Vietnamese baguette sandwich) fan, and plenty of reviews said this place had the best in Salem. I ordered the tofu salad rolls and the Bánh mi with grilled pork. I also ordered a Thai tea. The Thai tea was sweet and creamy, and quite good. The spring rolls had good flavor, but the wrappers were so chewy that it made them a little difficult to eat. The herby freshness I associate with Vietnamese spring rolls was present, but was a bit muted compared to other rolls I have had. The peanut sauce was good. The Bánh mi was a solid sandwich. The bread crust was shatteringly crisp, and the grilled pork was delicious, and its flavors dominated the sandwich. The pickled vegetables didn't seem that pickled, so their taste faded a bit in the background. The jalapeno slices provided a nice heat that came on gradually. This is probably the best bánh mi I've had in Salem since the Saigon Restaurant closed. I honestly would go back for the Thai tea alone! But the food was good, affordable, and the service friendly. I can't speak to their pho, and it might be what they are most known for; it's in their name, after all! A solid place and one I am glad to have tried!

First impression when walking in was clean, felt like a new business, but friendly. Staff was super helpful, kind, and friendly. Menu was simple and fair prices! Surprised to see that minced garlic wasn't an option. Only reason why I give this 4 stars is because the pasta was okay. I could tell (and saw) that the noodles I was eating were pre-cooked from earlier in the day and then heated up in a boiling pot. I understand why they do it like this because it doesn't seem like they are popular enough to make fresh pasta every time a customer comes in and that would be time consuming.
