Hidden Gem Stopped…read morein after realizing the new Catawba Two Kings Casino still has limited food options. Found this spot online, open on a Sunday evening, and decided to give it a try. It was packed just after 7 PM, but I was seated immediately. Drinks hit the table within minutes -- super efficient. The menu is huge, and they carry all the Asian beers (Sapporo, Kirin, etc.), which was a nice surprise. I ordered the crab Rangoon, Thai fried rice, and the shrimp teriyaki plate. Everything came out piping hot and incredibly fresh -- you can taste the difference here. Portions were solid, flavors were on point, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy. Service is a 10/10. You can feel the family vibe -- everyone working together in harmony, smooth, friendly, and the place is clean with good energy. Highly recommend. I'll be back on the next casino run

My husband and I went here on our anniversary. Some friends had told us it was a great place so we…read morewanted to try it. It was on a Sunday at lunchtime and it wasn't busy, just one large table of about six people. The restaurant is a small but cute and clean. We sat down and we both got water and our waitress brought them right away and also brought us out some ginger soup. I ordered the Taste of Thai mixed appetizer and my husband ordered the hibachi chicken. Our food came out fairly quickly and everything was very good. The reason I am giving it one star is because after we looked at our bank statement two days later we realize that they had added on an extra $24.78 to the tip after the fact. Our total bill was $28.25. My husband left a tip of $8.75 (Over 30%) bringing our total that we paid to $37.00 but they charged us $61.78. I have added a photo of the price of our food from their website and also a screenshot of our bank app showing the $61.78 charge and the $24.78 reimbursement. The food is good, but the integrity here is not, so we will not be back.

Well based on this visit , we all agreed the food was good. They keep everything fresh and replenished as quick as they can. The selection was like before. A lot to choose from. I even had some sushi and it was not bad. Usually not too good at chinese buffets, but here there is a good section of choices. Kinda helped my craving. They had a bunch of fresh fruit for after dinner as well as help yourself to ice cream in the cooler. Over all it was pretty good, they do offer a $1.00 discount for seniors.

My friends pointed out the Squid salad to which I happily went back for seconds on. I also got their Mei Fun, Spinach stuffed in Phylo dough, green beans, and shrimp. It was good. We all were satisfied and full by the end of the night. Mom wasn't thrilled about the cookies as she was hoping for the almond variety but they only had the Palmier kind which she said was ok. Even though online it stated that they were open until 9pm, they were removing food from the bar and cleaning the floors before 8pm. Maybe because of the Super Bowl or because they weren't busy? Not sure. Before we left they asked us if we wanted any drinks to-go and they provided them. Thanks for feeding us after a long day.

When we arrived, they were not busy and their customer service seemed to be lacking. We were sat down quickly and given menus but the waitress didn't come back to get our order for about 10 minutes. They do have several types of Pho soups, which I really enjoy. My son ordered a Pad Thai. When his arrived it didn't have typical Pad Thai noodles which was a mistake. We brought this to their attention thinking the dish would be remade but it wasn't offered. I had an order of their summer rolls which was good and I also ordered Pho Kay Kho, beef combination which was a spicy Pho. Both meals and the appetizer or plated and presented well. How Pho I had overall was good and I even added extra spice to the soup. Overall, both meals were good, but it didn't really live up to the rave reviews that I had read. The server could have checked on us a couple more times and refreshed our drinks. The interior appeared to be rundown, just a little, but not enough to make me go somewhere else. If I am ever in this area and would like Asian/Thai food, I would probably stop again. I would prefer another couple of my favorite restaurants that serve Pho over Bep-pa's. You'll see the photograph the presentation was nice. The food was good however, there were some customer service issues along with the interior portion of the restaurant could be cleaned up just a little bit more. I would recommend, however there is nothing over the top about Bep-pa's.
