This is a little unassuming Thai restaurant in a clean-ish little unassuming all-American town. The…read moreinterior was basic, clean, and welcoming, and the wait staff was attentive and quick. The restaurant was busy but not overwhelmingly so, indicating the locals probably enjoy this spot. I was in the area and had a craving for pho and this was where Yelp led me. I'm a pho snob so I was a little surprised by how much I enjoyed the pho here. The broth was a little underwhelming at first, but once you add the chili oil and a touch of fish sauce, all of the flavors (the herbal essence and the beefy meatiness) came together beautifully. It hit the spot. I know it is a little short-sighted to rate this place according to just one dish, but it's what I have for you. That being said, my 4-star rating may change when I try other things on the menu the next time I come here. I normally like rating Thai restaurants by their green curry and pad thai -- so that is something to look forward to!! A few things that didn't really matter but they stood out. 1) They didn't bring out a plate of herbs for you to garnish your soup with. Instead, they added all the herbs into the soup before they brought it to the table. I get it. This is a rural area with little diversity so you want to simplify things for your main customer base. I also assume it is a waste thing. I always use up ALL of my herbs but I know most people don't . This way it saves on the waste. 2) The beef was cut chunky instead of sliced thinly like what's normal in a bowl of pho. At first, I thought it was carelessness or an oversight from the chef, but after a bite with the beef, broth, and the noodles all together, I am thinking it may be an intentional choice. With the beef pieces being bigger and chunkier, it preserves that super beefy taste. The one knock I have is my pho noodles we're all broken like I got the noodles from the bottom of the bag. It's not a huge deal. Just bad luck, I guess. Overall, good spot. Try it out!

The staff isn't overly welcoming or anything but the food makes up for it. I ordered The Playboy roll, and although it wasn't the best roll I ever had, it wasn't bad at all and it was huge! This was a fried roll and I do mean fried. Even the rice was deep fried, perfect for The South. I also ordered the Shrimp Tempura but they brought me Bang Bang shrimp by mistake. I didn't send it back because I didn't want to be that person, but it was super good! I ate it all. Definitely try that. The place is a little pricey. The roll was $15 and the shrimp is $11. Not terrible but you can get all you can eat sushi in Charlotte at nicer places for under $30, so I thought it was a bit much for a sushi spot in Albemarle, NC. Overall it's pretty good!

It's definitely in an older house; parking is easy and you seat yourself. The house is definitely older and needs some work. We felt like we were eating in a quiet living room as there was no music or background noise other than other tables. There were definitely only two people working the day we went-one front of house and one back. There are several signs stating food takes time to prepare and it will come out as it's ready. They're not kidding. We ordered jerk chicken which was pretty spicy. The Mac was incredible as were the cheesy jalapeño hush puppies. It took about 50 mins for it to come out. The spicy roll was definitely spicy, and the baked roll had a nice flavor. We waited on those for a little over an hour. Definitely not a kid friendly place due to the wait times. Also no changing stations. It's a really nice concept and diverse menu!
