    Shrimp Fried Rice
    Jennifer W.

    Food is fresh but the wait is crazy! Very casual inside dining. This establishment also has a drive thru and a large parking lot with big pot holes so be careful there. I ordered the fish/shrimp combo, shrimp fried rice and happy family with an egg roll. I believe business has picked up here because of social media because it's never been so busy. I think it's worth the wait, definitely a good portion size and always fresh cooked to order.

    Best Chinese food around! Always hot and fresh. My go to spot when I want a good lunch.

    Tried towards the end of the lunch special, assuming that's why my fried rice was dry and old? Instagram brought me here, I'd rate it a 2star and nothing more. It's equivalent of mall food. I didn't like the eggroll filling. Left a weird aftertaste in my mouth after each bite.

    Hot food that the owner threw on us causing burns and the police and paramedics were called.

    This is the 22 year old "owner", she gaslit me about my order, caught an attitude, and threw food on me and my children causing BURNS. We had GREAT experiences until today. SHAME ON YOU!!

    Unseasoned "chicken wings"

    They could START, by seasoning the food ! The beef was chewy, they only put (3) shrimp in the order... the wontons were bone dry. The combination fried rice was gummy.

    Food wasn't the best. The young lady who was at the drive thru was also not the friendliest. I haven't been inside to see how the ambiance is because i stopped going after that first interaction.

    3 fish, 6 shrimp, fries & salad... Yummy!

    This fusion is a perfect match and the menu exquisitely executes pairing the flavorful food of…read morethese two cultures. The restaurant has vibrant decor and murals that transport you to a diverse neighborhood. Every employee who helped us was approachable and kind, checking on us after we were seated and served, going as far as taking photos for us when we asked because we were celebrating our anniversary, and bringing out things we asked for once we were seated. It seems basic to say that, but the warmth and kindness was felt from each employee we interacted with, and I don't want to gloss over their good service. Our order: - Angry Pho Birria Platter - Elote + Chips - Strawberry Lemonade - Ube Horchata The pho (a little spicy) and bao (a little sweet with super tender meat) will make you want to do a happy dance. The wings could have been a little crunchier but they were sauced so it's understandable. The Bang Bang and Spicy Chili flavors were delicious. The Birria tacos were good, but we loved everything else on the platter more. The Elote + chips starter was authentic and yummy. The chips felt like an odd pairing, but it tasted good together! The Strawberry Lemonade was sweet but refreshing. The Ube Horchata was creamy and delicious. Not too sweet, and the ice didn't ruin it. Know before you go: - Arrive early! We got there when they opened at 11 AM on a Friday. Two other parties were already there and waiting to dine, as well. By 11:30 AM, a nice-sized crowd had rolled in. They had no problem getting everyone served quickly, though. - You order and pay first, grab a seat, and then they bring your food out to you. - Yes, the platter sizes are sufficient for two hungry adults to fill up on! You might even have trouble finishing it all. - Their online menu has awesome pictures of each platter option. The platters look smaller in person than in those photos, but as I said, you will definitely get full. - My husband, who is not a pho lover, loved the Angry Pho. - They are closed on Saturdays and Mondays. - They have gluten-free and halal options.

    Don't walk, you gotta run and try this place!! All the dishes are Vietnamese fusion and nothing…read moreI've ever had before. It's one of a kind and they execute so well! It's so freakin good! Literally a flavor bomb in every bite! They have an extensive menu with so many unique dishes. It was hard to order one dish so we just had to order it all :) The Saltado was the best I've ever had! It was so bomb! The fries were somehow still crispy even though it's tossed in this delicious sauce! Meat was tender and melt in your mouth good! I also loved the burger! We cut pieces so we can all try the different dishes, and I kept cutting pieces of the burger! I've also been on a burger kick lately to try to find the best burger and this one is high up the list! It was surprisingly hot for a good 15 mins. The meat was well seasoned and the onion, cheese meat and sauce all blended so well. Little bit salty and a little bit sweet with the grill onions. The wings were also crispy with this nice sweet chili sauce! Cooked to perfection! I really liked the curry pho! It's a green curry with a little kick to it. They have quite a few different vegan options and this is a dish that can be made vegan. You can dip the Birria tacos in this pho consume which is so fire! It's so good you just want to drink it up lol I added some of their habenero hot sauce and it was just the perfect birria bites. The phorrito is pho filling wrapped in rice and fried! You gotta wash all these delicious meals down with a lychee peach tea! It hit the spot lol it was so refreshing with the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. This is a must try place if you're in the area!
