I don't understand why this place gets so many likes. I guess it must be because it's the only Hmong restaurant in town and it's the only place people can get Hmong/Laotion/ Thai/ Vietnamese food. I have so many bad experience that I would not recommend this place to ANY of my friends and family members out of town.
I'm a college student and I come from another city. This place is not for college student. I paid $6 something for papaya salad and I got this container with little papaya salad in it. Not worth it. I can't believe my eyes that this is what I get? Those container that they put the papaya salad in when you buy a $5 worth of papaya salad at the tournament.. well, yea this place give you half full of the container. My $6 had gone to waste.
Another time, I ordered Laab (beef salad) and a small bowl of stick rice. The laab tasted super salty. And the meat seems like it was colored and marinate for a different dish. Not too happy when I paid $18.00 and something. The a small bowl of sticky rice costs 4.99? Like seriously?
Another time I went to order a small bowl fried rice. Well, guess what! I sure did get a small bowl of fried rice but from the first taste of it I can tell, the rice was over due. I smelled the sourness and tasted it and No, it was not because they put lemon in it. I can tell the difference. Again, wasn't happy.
PHO! People that had eaten here say their pho is the best. I tried their pho and I was surprised because it was very disappointing! The broth is just hot water. Nothing in it. Very little meat and also not worth the money. The pho need major improvement!
Well, again, I won't be going to this place. I'm from a small town, smaller than Lacrosse and yet we have better Hmong restaurants. I'm not going to this place again because I feel it doesn't deserve my money and it's not worth to continue to support these people until after they learn to improve their cooking/ food.
I would rather support a Chinese buffet because adding $4.00 to the $6 something that I paid for my papaya salad I can eat anything and be full.
Maybe because of their lack of improvements you don't see Hmong elders or Hmong family coming to eat in there. Most of the time when I go in here it's either young Hmong teens, and college students of another race. If they've tasted Hmong food at a different place, trust me they will never return to this rip off restaurant.
You might think if I've experienced so many bad things here then why do I keep supporting and going there? Well, I'm Hmong and at times I want to eat my hmong food. Being a college student and living in the dorms I don't have the utensils to cook these food so I would need to go out and purchase it. Also, I thought maybe it was just this food or that food that didn't taste good but after trying all these food I'm don't need to keep telling myself that it's just this or that food that isn't good. It's basically this whole restaurant that sucks!
Adding to that, this restaurant not only does it need major improvement on their food, they need major improvement on the inside and outside of their little place. Outside looks like a trashy, unclean, abandon place and the inside looks like it had never been mopped. Wouldn't want to be consuming food in an unclean place like that folks. read more
