Berry Twilight
Francheska J.

A solid spot for some late night boba and eats in the ASU area! When I was a student, I was practically here every week, getting late night pho and drinks with my friends. It can definitely get quite busy, and the parking can be difficult so that is something to note. You order up front and then take a seat if you are dining in, and I have experienced it before where there are no available tables to eat at. Otherwise, it's mostly okay! The food is pretty good, I have to say, for what seems like an Asian fusion spot, the Vietnamese dishes are really authentic. And not many pho places are open late, so it's a great choice for those late nights as a student. I really like their Berry Twilight drink, it's pretty to look at and it's tasty and light. I love aloe vera in it, and always get it half sweet. I don't get anything else really, and I haven't felt like I wanted to. Definitely a good visit as a student, but I don't think I would go out of the way to come here now if I wasn't already in the area and craving something in the later hours.

Pleasantly surprised. This place is really lovely. Service was kind. Meal was generous and filling for the most part. Prices were good, place was clean. The only critique I had was the bahn mi bread is small! At least comparatively to other spots. I would come back. I would order more food. And the drinks were pretty decent too.

Beef Pho Fresh Noodle Soup
Christine N.

Okay, so I was ready not to like this spot especially considering how awful parking is here. As well, I generally notice that Vietnamese spots that only do English menus aren't that great. However, I was so pleasantly surprised and impressed by their pho. The broth was super clear and tasted just like mom's home cooked pho. The meats were tender and veggies fresh. I also ordered their mango lilikoi drink, which was sweet and refreshing. I wasn't particularly a fan of the order then seat yourself to be served after style, but the servers and cashier were friendly and the food was good which mattered most. The place is clean though a little on the small side but there's outdoor seating too.

Iced Vietnamese coffee
Gary G.

First it might be best to walk, take light rail or ride share app to get there due to difficult parking. I was very fortunate to find a spot right in front. You order at the counter then take a seat and the friendly staff brings the food to you. I ordered vegetable pho and ca phê sửa da which was very good and of generous size. The pho broth lacked richness and possibly salt but the vegetables were fresh so overall I enjoyed it and give it 4 stars. 5 stars for the iced Vietnamese coffee. The decor is nice and the environment is clean and tidy. This restaurant is locally owned.

Really good Food great customer service. I love this place already. First impressions is always the best. Open late and keeps the food fresh.

Catherine G.

Came here after a night of drinking with friends and it definitely hit the spot! They are open late and food came out very quickly! The cashier was warm and friendly. Since this place is near a university, it was open late and quite popular. The broth was decent and they even accommodated extra noodles for my husband. It is a little on the pricey end but that is to be expected.

Pho Veggie
Donn O.

Went to this cute place while visiting my daughter at ASU. Convenient location with lots of parking in the back. We ordered the vegetable pho and boy was it good. Vegetables came on the side with a spoon chopsticks and plenty of napkins. The broth was a perfect combination of savory and salty. Everything was fresh. The decor was modern with a huge TV on the wall showing still shots of exotic locations around the world. There was table side service and our plates were cleared promptly. When in the mood for pho don't pass this place up.

Beef Pho

Fastest wait time ever, delicious Pho and boba! I come here all the time. The tables and decorations are cute too

Pho with Beef Jasmine Milk Tea with boba  3 Piece Spring Rolls (shrimp)
Jordyn G.

The pho and shrimp spring rolls are extremely good, definitely my favorite place to get Pho. The only thing I don't like abt this area (and it isn't their fault) is the parking but expect it to be like that anywhere near Mill Ave. I do really enjoy this spot tho! The ambiance is chill and the service is very good

Kristie N.

Parking can be difficult here. We parked on the street with metered parking. Food itself was okay, nothing extraordinary in my opinion. Compared to other pho establishments I thought the broth was alright, somewhat sweet. Will say it's next to ASU and open late so that's great.

2 Piece VEGGIES Spring Rolls
Curtis G.

It's busy after 8pm because all other Pho restaurants close and it is open until midnight. The Pho is good with good size portions. They have small sides though. If you order a side of vegetables it's not worth it. Good place to eat in or take out. Lots of other items on there menu too. Parking can be a problem there. Next to ASU so if you're walking it's a great location.

Overpriced for what you get. Portions are small, flavor's mid, and there are way better (and cheaper) Viet spots just down the street.

The food was actually very good, which makes the experience even more disappointing because the…read moreservice was absolutely horrible. We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.

Duck, avocado, cucumber and salad greens are rolled in a soft and flaky phyllo-ish wrap, served on hoisin sauce and a little bit of what I think was a spicy mayo. This was a little messy and a LOT delicious. I hope they have more duck items on the menu. Looking forward to trying more here!

I was coming south on North Scottsdale road and turned in to a driveway right before the "Bei" sign on the building and ended up in an awkward narrow back alley behind the restaurant.

He saw the pictures of the restaurant on reviews before we went and asked about the robot. We inquired when we were there and the robot can bring you your food upon request. I liked that they have lunch specials. The food was all very good. I ordered a matcha drink as well, which had a really good cold foam on top. The service was great. The servers were very nice and helpful. Ambiance - meh. It looks like a fast casual restaurant that has been around for a while.

The vibe inside is so nice and really trendy. You can be dressed down or up and it won't seem like you're out of place. Tons of booths, tables, and bar seating available with TVs around for easy watch-ability. I was with friends so we got a few different things to share. First was the calamari and the salmoncito appetizers. The portion for salmoncito was smaller than I expected at just four pieces but it was really good. The calamari was my least favorite item, but I was expecting ring shapes and not the tentacles. Personal preference, not an indication of the quality. For our rolls, I got the spicy mango and my dining partners got the El Sinaloco and El Gorilla roll. I loved my roll and highly recommend for anyone that loves mango sushi and a little bit of heat. The other two rolls are off the Mexican rolls portion of the menu. El Gorilla roll has banana on it, which was surprisingly tasty and very unique. El Sinaloco was huge and worth the price. It's a deep fried shrimp tempura roll with avocado, and then all the ingredients are also on top. Our server was Oswaldo and he was great! Food and drinks came out faster than we were expecting considering we were there on Saturday at 5pm. I sadly didn't take photos because I was dining with people that just like to dig in before the phone gets to eat. I will definitely be back and will snap some photos to add.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more El Tataki Sushi Fusion 1410 E Southern Ave Tempe, 85282 I must confess I have never been to a Japanese Mexican restaurant in all my travels. Mexican food is almost unheard of in Japan and Japanese food is almost unheard of in Mexico, but here it is folks. Companion and I went for lunch and ended up eating supper there. I began by ordering edamame with garlic. I loved it. Edamame is one of my favorite snacks and I had never had it with garlic on it before. A nice twist on a favorite food. Companion ordered a vegetable tempura while I ordered a shrimp tempura. Whoever did the frying certainly knows their art, as all of the tempura was absolutely fried to perfection. The veggies were al dente and the shrimp were large (about 3 inches long) and very tender. Most shrimp tempura in other places is overcooked and the meat is much tougher. The plates came with a number of onion rings on them and once again, they were perfectly cooked. Companion also ordered pork gyozas. They were perfectly cooked as well. I wanted to try something from the sushi bar, so I ordered Unagi (eel nigiri). They were perfectly made with the proper amount of eel sauce on it along with ginger and wasabi on the side. Portion size was good and flavor was excellent. In Japan when the brutal heat of summer comes it is often said, "Doyo no Ushi no Hi" which means have you had your eels today. With this being the second day of summer, it was certainly appropriate to order them today. We also ordered fried rice and that was the only part of the meal that neither of us enjoyed. The rice just didn't have the right flavor or texture. After each of us had some we left the rest. Finally, it was dessert time. Also time for something that neither of us had ever had before - Fried Cheesecake. Our waitress Ximena brought out a huge, towering chunk of Cheesecake which was surrounded by whipped cream and had chocolate sauce and strawberry all over it. Wow! If you go there this is an absolute must to order. Probably several thousand calories, but who's counting? It was outstanding. This was a thoroughly enjoyable meal which because of portion size we could not finish. The place is immaculate and the music and lighting are most suited to the younger crowd. Date night perhaps? 5 stars
