This is what happens when you never hear the word "NO" growing up. I love love love this restaurant. Food is great. Service is great. Yes of course, sometimes the foods are not as good as the usual, but that's normal for any restaurants. We are all humans. We cannot keep 100% quality at all times. Even when you go to a 5-star restaurant, you will be faced with this reality. Get over it! For those people who complain how the prices went up or the quantity went down, you should just stay at home and cook your own food. For some of us who don't have our head up so deep in b*tth*le, we know that prices EVERYWHERE have gone up ever since pandemic. In order for restaurants and other businesses to survive, they need to either increase the price or reduce the quantity. For those who keep saying this is your favorite restaurant but then again you complain about the quantity or the price or both, COOK AT HOME THEN!!! Here is Economy 101. Businesses exist to make money. I know that it's a BIG SURPRISE for some of you. If they don't make money, they will close. If you don't understand that, maybe you should go back to school. I really hope more people stand up for what's right. Not just for this restaurant, for others as well (whether they are restaurants, car wash, etc). I see so many complaints but rarely anyone defend them.

I tried to reheat the broth on the stove, order noodles on the side, and both ways did not cook the noodles properly. Aside from pho, we enjoy their Banh Mi and rice plates. The steak and shrimp are some over our favorites. We love the runny egg on top of the rice plates! The staff is kind and patient. The food comes out quickly and there is plenty of seating.

After a couple of hours sight seeing, we took a wrong turn and ended up in this town and stumbled onto this beauty. It's like a new generation of Thai food for us. Not at all what we're used to or have ever tasted. It was great! A very intimate, joyous fellowship broke out with great friends and an even better atmosphere. Seating is outdoors only and you're surrounded by flowers and the very vegetables we were about to eat. Very surreal! I believe it's the first time I've ordered food and they literally grew it outside the eatery. It was all delicious and I highly recommend you get lost and stumble into them, yourself. I love this place!

And of…read morecourse, it was the hottest day of the week during a heat wave because you know pho is life. the staff here are so sweet. We got seated immediately. We started off with some spring roll some egg rolls and their infamous chicken wing!! I would literally go back just for the wings. It was so tasty and piping hot when it came out it was a fan favorite between all of us, including the kids. Therefore, here comes with so much meat they do not skimp on the meat here. the broth is so tasty. I was so full. Reasonable price. We also ordered their pandan waffle was so tasty so aromatic so flavorful we had to get two. I hiiiiighly recommend, it's nice and soft,fluffy and chewy with crispy edges. Perfection. It's located about the market. The parking space can get tricky here since it's shared amongst all the other stores in and around the marketplace. Can't wait to go back! Great food great customer!

Food is pretty decent, at least the 2 food items I ordered. My first time seated here and the girl…read morewho took my order looked scared to take my order. I ordered the grilled pork Banh mi with extra pate, Banh Khot, & an avocado shake. My Banh mi sandwich came first and was asked twice what was wrong because I sat there just waiting for my other 2 items to arrive. Not sure why I didn't get my avocado smoothie first though. I was thinking she forgot to make it. My banh Khot was very crispy and 2/3 pieces were burned but I ate them all anyway since I was hungry. My observation is that customers can get ignored here and service seems spotty and slow. I see lots of 'to go' orders so kitchen is definitely very busy. Pretty average food compared to other Vietnamese places I've been to so food is okay. Not a spectacular experience in terms of service but I guess if there isn't any other Vietnamese place nearby or within walking distance then I guess this place is okay. When I asked for a bag for my leftover sandwich the guy said just put it in the box (a to go food container) and that their bags are big. I still wanted a bag though but he just looked at me and was holding his credit card machine ready to take my payment. Yeah, uh okay. I managed to get a container for my leftover smoothie as well. Not a great experience but food is just okay.

We usually go to Pho Anh Hoa but this place is very close by, so we were like let's try it. We also saw a really funny vide on the restaurant's instagram where one of their workers was chasing the camera with drinks and thought it was hilarious. Since I wasn't super hungry but still needed sustenance from being sick, I got the kid's size Pho Tai ($10, not bad). My husband also got pho and a $7 drink, so we got out of there for about $37 after tax and tip. Pros: - delicious broth, solid amount of noodles and meat (even in the kid's size bowl!) it really caught me at a good time because I usually don't take pho home to eat (it never tastes the same) but I also didn't want to stuff myself with a huge bowl. - Very efficien service, pho came out in less than 5 mins - very easy parking lot with lots of available spots - modern clean ambiance inside. - I like that the sauce dishes are deep Cons: - I honestly have no complaints. I've seen a lot of gripes about their banh mi and other appetizers and I can't comment on any of them

However, Pad Thai Cuisine is very different. My son and I decided to try Pad Thai Cuisine today because we just happened to be in the area. I am so glad that we did! The exterior of the restaurant looks like a house with a cute little white picket fence. As you walk onto the porch, there is a door to the right of it. You open the door and the reception area is just right ahead. We were greeted by a young lady named Jasmine. She is super sweet and friendly. We were told that we were welcome to sit anywhere we liked, so we decided to take a window seat. Where we sat, we can see the little garden and the main street. There weren't a lot of customers, but wasn't empty either. Jasmine asked us what we wanted to eat. Since it was our first time there, we asked for her suggestions. She recommended curry and fried noodles. She also told us that our meal came with drinks (only for lunch), so my son and I ordered Thai Ice Tea. This is no ordinary Thai Ice Tea. It wasn't overly sweet and the tea was brewed. I could be wrong, but it really tasted like they used tea leaves to make the tea. I didn't ask though. I should ask. After talking to Jasmine, we decided to order Chicken Yellow Curry with rice and Pork Pad See Ew. Let me start with the Chicken Yellow Curry, it had bell peppers, onions, chicken and potatoes. I have never had potatoes made this way before. It was soft (not mushy) and the center was firm (not raw). It was made to perfection! The chicken was not dry, the curry was not too spicy and very well balanced with the curry seasoning. It was served along side with a small amount of rice. The Pad See Ew, was so delicious! The noodles were not clumped together. When I took the first bite, I can taste the wok hay (Chinese for taste of the strong fire that the wok that the noodles were cooked in. The pork was very tender with a tad bit of fat that made it just right to bite into. We requested it to be mild because I can't handle spicy food. However, if you like spicy food, I say go for it! Last but not least, the dessert! There were 3 choices, but we ordered the mango with sticky rice. It was AMAZING! The sticky rice was not mushy, the mango was sweet and did not contain a lot of fibers. Small amount of coconut milk to be drizzled on top. I felt my palate being in heaven. Pad Thai Cuisine is owned by a Laotian family. It's owned and run by grandma, mom, aunts and two daughters. Grandpa is retired, but also helps with ordering and picking up ingredients when they run out. It's a very unique and cozy place to enjoy some delicious Thai Cuisine. Don't take my word for it. You must go and try it out yourself! I will be returning to the restaurant to try other delicious food that they have to offer! I will also be writing more about the story of Pad Thai Cuisine restaurant. We need to support more mom-and-pop restaurants! More story and pictures to Come...

It was unclear if it's sold out at 10am or if they no longer sell it. On my 2nd visit: I opted for just the original sugarcane (without additional pureee or other ingredients) it's not listed on my menu, so you just have to ask for it. It definitely tasted better than the calamansi sugarcane. Considering they were not busy at all, I expected this to be made fresh but they poured it directly from an open container from their refrigerator... Tried their banh mi this time, both the chicken and pork. Both tasted like quality meats. But the daikon and carrots were cut way too thick! Never seen such a thick cut of carrots. They need to julienne or even fine julienned cut them! I think if they were to make this change to the sandwich, I would be a happy return customer.
