"Pad Thai"

Just got the chicken pad Thai and it was straight ketchup noodles. Completely inedible.

Our server was prompt and polite and upbeat. Out food come to use quickly after we ordered, which was very easy. The restaurant is brightly lit and clean with a. Pleasant friendly atmosphere. Our food was vegetable delux with chicken and I had the spicy glass noodles extra spicy. Plays an order of egg rolls and shumai. All done excellently. I am glad you have this place, Springfield.

Soup

I drive by this little local place often. Maybe it isn't a secret at all, maybe I just didn't know. Sunday afternoon, lazy day, cold, nice day for a ride. My wife and I like a few other assembly line Asian places in town but really felt like a bowl of soup and I LOVE crazy noodles. Haven't been here for YEARS, if ever? Great day to sit and talk with my wife over some good food, no rush, no one looking over your shoulder for the last chicken wing. What a great meal. We split the soup, took a little home. I ordered the mild crazy noodles, probably should have gotten medium. Added some sweet and heat from the table top sauces and was PERFECT to my taste. Mrs Pants had the Mongolian plate with beef. Also fresh, hot, outstanding. I would LIKE a little more beef in mine- but will give it a pass. The prices here are very reasonable and probably leading competitive venues. Service was great. Building is old but is remodeled inside, well maintained, clean and welcoming. Little Saigon is def back on my radar when I need a homemade quality Asian dish. What you get for the $$ = VALUE. All that and a fortune cookie at this place. Thank you to the staff. Well done.

Portions are huge! We started with the crab rangoon and both had the Pho as our entrees. Neither of us could finish but the meals were flavorful and filling.

Food is always consistent here. You get nice portions for the price and always flavorful. We grabbed carryout tonight but have eaten in many times as well. They have great lunch specials I highly recommend. The food was ready super fast and always is even when they are busy. I will say my fried rice left something to be desired today. It was very bland and lacking and flavor. The vegetables were predominantly onions which is disappointing to not have much else and no flavor. Probably would not order again but will definitely be back for the other delicious food they offer.

I'm a big fan of the tempura vegetables and their smoothies! Great for when you want something not too heavy.

In town for the day and was looking for the "best" Thai restaurant. Very surprised this was number…read more4 or 5. It needs to be number 1 in my opinion! Lovely, relaxing, and clean restaurant with incredible food and service. I will definitely be thinking of when I can return and what I'll be ordering next time. The server was very attentive and kind, frequently checked on me, and offered amazing food suggestions. I had the house salad-get extra dressing (so yummy), a cup of Tom Kha soup w/ veggies (BEST I've ever had), and mildly spicy Lemongrass stir fry (amazing flavor, although slightly oily). Each dish can be customized to your preferred spice level. Usually "mild" at other Thai restaurants, even my local go to restaurant, can still be way too spicy for me. This "mild" spice was absolutely perfect. Can't wait to return!

Big and open place. Service was fine. The pho was actually really good so that was unexpected. And…read morethe prices were very fair. I enjoyed the food overall. However. We were sat near a server/hostess who was lying in a booth between my party and another party who were already sat. The worker was constantly coughing and clearly sick. I assume her shift started soon bc about 30 mins later she was up and serving food or seating people. Either way it was an awful look especially bc it was during winter where sicknesses were high. It almost made me get up and leave. I hope to see this addressed a

Dang, that's some good boba…read more After devouring a large meal at Hong Kong Buffet and walking around a bookstore to let the food settle (and pick up a few books), I asked if Tim if he had room for some boba. He said 'sure' and here we are. I completely forgot this place existed until I was looking around on Yelp for new places to try. Thank gosh for a dull moment of internet browsing at work. We waddled in and immediately didn't know what to order. The menu was a lot bigger than I expected for a space so small. Tim tried to explain a Poke bowl to me but said it was something you just have to experience or google. Seeing as we were both still full from lunch, the time to learn from experience would have to come another day. I settled on a Coffee Milk Tea with cinnamon boba and Tim got this unique Matcha with cream cheese foam with strawberry jelly. We plopped down on some chairs and waited for our drinks to come out. It took a bit longer than I expected but the place was hopping and there were tons of orders being picked up and there was almost an endless line of people placing orders. The wait was probably 10 minutes but not too bad for how steady they were. Tim and I slowly put down our drinks as we chatted about the various aspects of life. My first sip was extremely delicious and sweet. After a few sips, the peak delicious faded and turned into a drink that was good but leaving you yearning for that sweet sweet sweetness. Could be that it needed blended a bit more. Either way, it was pleasant even with the drink settling as the cup became more and more empty. In hindsight, maybe it was best the drink evened out after demolishing plates at a buffet. During our time, we saw a lot of college kids come and go while a few couples hung around and enjoyed their food. Bradley University students probably love this place. The interior is very narrow and the sitting area, while plenty of seats, isn't conducive to a long term hangout. Grab your meal, enjoy, chat for a bit, then head out. But not every place has to be geared towards people like me who likes to sit and chat for awhile. It's cool to see Peoria have such a varied amount of cultural places to sample; from Chinese to Vietnamese to Italian to Mexican to Mediterranean. If time allows, I would love to come back and try one of these mystery Poke bowls. Until then, stay boba-licious!
