This is our go to market for all our Asian food needs in the area. They have a good variety of fresh produce as well as canned and bagged goods, especially considering the location. They also have fresh cooked food for sale. Our cashier was super friendly and sweet. Definitely will come back :)

Stopped by to check this place out after my visit at another Asian market in Richland a couple days ago. Surprisingly this place carries more options than expected. Produce and vegetables is still lacking, but I understand it is perishable. The basics are there if you need some ingredients. In the corner of the grocery is a "restaurant ". It serves basic pho noodles and fried rice. We ordered both to try but was not impressed. Too oily and salty for our taste. Will definitely come back here for grocery.

Bun no hue, get risky and try something other than pho! A little spicy with thicker noodles. This place has the best pho in town

This place is my long standing Pho restaurant of choice in the Tri Cities. The rating is based purely on food since the atmosphere is really nothing to speak of, since there is just 4 tables crammed in the corner of a grocery market. One thing you will get here is consistency since the only employees are the owners and family members. They have a limited menu since the restaurant is not their core business, but the pho is always really good and the fresh spring rolls are above average. Service is fine but don't come here for conversation or recommendations, you can go to a chain style place for that. Come here with an expectation to eat pho and feel confident knowing you will get a good bowl over and over agin. While you wait, have a quick walk around the market and look at all the fun and wild frozen food they sell, it always gets some giggles or awkward faces from the folks that have never been to an asian market before. You can also pick up some new vietnamese words while you dine as you will frequently hear the owners yelling across the store to each about one thing or another. Just something about that experience that is unique, not forced and a little re-assuring, since they just serve you your food and don't really try to cater to you since they don't have to worry about whether the food was good or not.

Combination fried rice

I had the beef pho and is was pretty good. I wished it had tripe and brisket as well. The fried rice was bomb with a variety of meats... There's an old lady cooking the food, so you know the food is authentic. This is a mom and pop shop so don't expect too much!

I'm so impressed! We had lunch here and were amazed by the variety of pho soups and the low prices. I ordered the beef pho which came with thinly sliced beef and meatballs. My husband ordered the duck pho with egg noodles. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, but what really stood out was the amount of delicious, meaty duck pieces that they put in my husband's dish. And there are so many other dishes to try that look so tempting! We'll definitely be back again !

This is the only place I go for Asian Food shopping in Tri-Cities. They have wide variety of authentic Asian snacks and cooking materials. Also, the lady, who is the owner of this store is really nice! Stop by if you ever wanna try some Asian food.

The Pho in this place was delicious. I'm used to northern Cali Vietnamese so I tend to be skeptical but seriously, this place nailed it.

This is an intesting stop for a fast, out for dinner experience. One that can fill your belly with…read morehowever much you can fit in your bowl... and for some people... is a lot. I saw a few people with the bowls overflowing. This place has a buffet of quite a selection of food to choose from; vegetables, meats, noodles, sauces and seasons. You fill the bowl and bring it to the cook. The food gets thrown onto a circular flat top that the cooks walk around as they push the food around the circle until it is cooked. The food is then placed into a fresh bowl and handed back to you to take to your table. While I was there, I was asked by the cook "hot sauce or not hot?" I stated "not hot"; but while eating, I found the food to be a little on the spicy side anyways. I believe that could be due to the grill having hot sauce poured on it for a previous order. That being said, the food was full of flavors and textures that I got to choose as well; so that in itself is pretty great. The waitress was attentive, however, did bring a cup of tap water after I asked for a bottle of water. Which could have just been a misunderstanding. Other than that I thought she was polite and courteous and fairly quick. I really did enjoy the idea of "all you can fit in the bowl and have it cooked in front of you." It was mildly entertaining and unique. As for decor, I would not call this a fancy restaurant; but I can say in confidence that it is one that you will feel full and satisfied when you leave. I enjoyed it here. Worth the visit.

The food and service was great. Super family friendly and a good place to go for some good pho and…read moreMongolian! Remember, if your Mongolian comes out bad, you're the one that made it. I recommend putting in a ton sauce before having the grill add more sauce to Keep the noodles moist and flavorful.
