    Firstly, what a crazy name to have! I think the name is a cultural difference because of how current vernacular but still cool to go to. Anyway, the food here was so good! My friends and I visited for an event in GR, and we found this on Yelp. Very glad we came to check it out! The food was so good and affordable. We chose to do family style at our different tables so we had a great spread of food. The spices were great in the food and I was so excited to take food home too! Also, they have a full bar, so if you would like to drink there, it's an option too! We didn't drink there but we did get the Vietnamese coffee and they brewed it fresh! It was so good! Lastly, shoutout to the staff. Their service was great! We came in with 12 people and they were very helpful with our questions and accommodating us. Mind you, this is not a huge location but they were still great to work with. I definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area!

    Totally a loving family operation which is self evident in the quality of the food. General Tso's rivals NYC Chinatown high end restaurants. Moo Shu Pork rivals SF Chinatown. I highly recommend this establishment.

    Some of the best Chinese food I've had in a very long time. The egg rolls and chicken lo mein were so fresh tasting and were definitely made to order. The ambience was very laid back and relaxing. Staff was friendly and attentive. Zero complaints about this spot. Great location too!

    I came here after seeing so many rave reviews on Yelp! First thing I noticed is it is very small and simple yet still gives a semi elegant vibe giving 3 stars for ambiance. Service was interesting. They seated us then gave us a menu, took our drink orders without giving us an opportunity to look at what they offered then said to order at the counter when ready. I put our order in then took a number to my table that I would need to take back to the counter to pay. This is where I was a bit disappointed. There weren't very many people in the restaurant and there were 3 servers in a tiny place that could have provided table service. They did serve the food but overall I'd say the service is mediocre, 3 stars. Cleanliness gains 4 stars as there were multiple clean tables but we were seated at a dirty one that was wiped off after we sat down. Other than that it appeared to be very clean. Food quality and freshness. I do think the food was very good but honestly it wasn't anything special. With so many reviews saying they're the best Chinese in GR I think I had expectations for something special but it was just average. I'm going to give 5 stars for both of these though because it was very good. That's 4 stars total.

    I have passed this spot a couple times and never thought to try until recently. I have been on the hunt for some good Chinese styled dumplings and I think this one hit the spot! I stopped in for lunch and was expecting a super small, hole in the wall, type of Chinese restaurant but being in the heart of EGR, I should have known it was a bit bigger. To my surprise, they even had a full bar! Not super rare in any Asian restaurants so I was very happy to see that as an option. I ordered the lunch special Lo Mein and my boyfriend go the lunch special Orange Chicken. Both came with soup (hot and sour or egg drop), an eggroll and 2 crab rangoon. Everything was so good and surprisingly not super greasy! You can choose either white or fried rice with the lunch special as well, but we got white rice so I didn't get a chance to try the fried rice. The dumplings were really good and all the sauces provided just added to the flavor. Not overwhelming, not too doughy, and the flavor of the inside was great! I am definitely going to make this my go-to Chinese restaurant.

    I visit Grand Rapids quite often for work and each time I visit I try at least one new restaurant. I found this place via yelp and thank goodness I gave it a shot because it was so delicious. This is a family run business which is a bonus for me. The person I believe is the owner was so nice and prompt with greeting me. The dining area as bright and clean. Lots of 4 top tables. The portions were big and it all seemed very fresh and made when ordered. The egg drop soup was unique in that it had baby shrimp, mushrooms, peas, and carrots in it which I don't think I've had in any other egg drop soup. I like it and would get it again for sure. The egg roll and crab cheese pieces were very flavorful and crispy. The orange chicken was perfectly crispy and saucy as well. They say it's spicy but I did not pick up any spice with mine. 10/10 would recommend.

    Fantastic flavors and a lot of food. I ordered the black mushroom with shrimp. Everything was fresh and tasty. Will be back.

    Could be better. I guess I expected more based on the reviews, but the takeout seemed pretty indistinguishable from any other chinese place.

    TERRIBLE REVIEWS, GREAT RESTAURANT!!!…read more We do not deserve this place. I have seen such stupid 1 star reviews driving this place down so I made this. People claiming the food was undercooked when the menu item they ordered as takeout comes raw with hot broth. Whoever made that deserves to eat McDonald's and crappy, frozen, store-bought crab rangoons. People complaining of service when arriving unannounced with a party of 12 when the restaurant is on off season hours. I love this restaurant. It has great pho that doesn't have the standard dishwater taste of many small Asian places around GR. The restaurant is often understaffed because it's a small family restaurant. They do a great job but it's usually one person acting as waiter and host. We have called with parties of over 10 and been turned away but never had the gaul to arrive with one. Had some bad experiences with service years ago but recently it's been very good. Kong the host is fast and good at steering people to good menu options. Pictured below is raw beef and beef ball we ordered as takeout and cooked properly because we aren't morons. Excellent food. Would frequent this place if you know good pho from bad.

I came in around 5:30 to pick up some banh mi for dinner. I think bc of the time, the bread must have been stale from when they baked it in the morning... to give you an idea, I didn't have them toast it, and when I ate it in the car on the drive home, it was crumbly, there were big pieces of crumbs everywhere. The meat portion was also little in comparison to the baguette. I also got a few snacks from the fridge: the coconut jelly, flan, and yogurt. The coconut jelly was bad, the white part (coconut milk gelatin) had gone sour. The clear part was still good - which I took a chance at bc it was $5... The flan did not taste fresh, the texture was that of a yogurt that had solidified and kind of liquidy... The yogurt was actually good, probably bc yogurt can't go bad... I also got the banh cuon and com chay, both of those were fortunately good. However the com chay container was stapled shut on multiple sides which made it a pain to open with the risk of the staples also landing in the com chay. Overall, I get that Vietnamese food might be scarce in the GR area, but quality was really lacking and if you had not had banh mi in a major metro area, you wouldn't know any better... I didn't come back and probably won't...

I stopped in recently and got a couple of bánh mì and some gỏi cuốn tôm (shrimp summer rolls). There is a kiosk where you can order, which makes it easy as it has photos and you can tap to pay.

I got the bánh mì Đặc biệt (special combination) and Nate ordered the bánh mì thịt nướng (BBQ pork). The bánh mì are still my favorite in town, with perfectly crispy yet soft bread, fresh veggies and herbs, and delicious meat. The BBQ pork was my favorite this time, even though I always order the special combination. The summer rolls were refreshing and we love the dipping sauce.

The ambiance is pretty typical of any Thai restaurant. Tastefully decorated, not cluttered or tacky at all. The menu was a bit lengthy, but it was nicely laid out and easy to read. The prices are pretty comparable with other Thai restaurants. Our waiter, I believe, was also the owner of the restaurant, a very pleasant gentleman. He was knowledgable about the menu and offered a spice range of 1 (no spice) to 10 (extremely spicy), and anywhere in between. My son ordered the Drunk Mama dish, my husband ordered the Mongolian dish, and after asking if there was soy in it (and mentioning I had a soy allergy), I ordered the Vegetable dish. The waiter assured me they could make it without soy. It was literally only a few minutes when the dishes started coming to the table, piping hot. I had only taken about 2 bites when the waiter came over to the table, took one look at my dish and said, "Oh, let me remake that for you. I can tell this has soy in it." He whisked it away immediately. A few minutes later, I was given a newly prepared dish, without soy, and was told there would be no charge for dinner. I also received many apologies for the mixup. This is one place that genuinely cares about their customers. My vegetable dish was full of tasty, very fresh vegetables, cooked to perfection. All 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The spice levels were perfect, the presentation was nice, and the taste was outstanding. We love Thai food and have tried a lot of them, but this one is now at the top of our list. We live on the south end of Grand Rapids, but we will definitely be back! I'm looking forward to trying many of the other dishes listed on the menu. I highly recommend you try Jasmine Thai too.

Just a few mentions they could improve on. Add a stir fry dish, the Com Sung Trứng dish is not very flavorful and sometimes they run out of dishes things. Overall its quality, authentic, great food.
