    a person sitting at a table with two drinks
    Margarita M.

    I called ahead to make sure they had Boba tea and when I got there they greeted me and knew just who I was. They were very friendly and offered suggestions for my little brother who hadn't tried it before. The boba tea was delicious and the staff was very friendly.

    Udon noodles with chicken
    Chelsea J.

    Under new owners, we were very disappointed. The food wasn't terrible, but the change is not for the better. I had Udon noodles and they were alright; there is some spice in the sauce that I can't identify and I did not find pleasant. Almost a sweet, bullion-type taste. Hubby got the Hawaiian fried rice because they did away with our favorite Pineapple Express (they have chicken, Pineapple, green onion, and soy sauce; I have no idea why they wouldn't just make it for him). His dish was not good. The rice was over cooked, it was way too sweet, and tasted of that unidentified spice. He didn't finish his food which is rare for him. They refused to make us our favorite dish and don't have Coke - there's really no reason for us to go back. Sad.

    Asian menu items

    For San Angelo, this place is pretty good. Otherwise, it would really get three stars. To be extremely honest, Donutopia's dishes are better prepared and more flavorful. Although, I am extremely appreciative that Lotus Cafe is nearby as an alternative option when I'm craving noodle soup, noodle salad, and/or tapioca/boba/pearl drinks after Donutopia is closed. It's a great option when I'm too lazy to cook and am craving good Asian food.

    I like how San Angelo....SAN ANGELO. Has gone from "What is Pho?" To "Pho...Pho everywhere". I love how they make it when you order it, How fresh the ingredients were, and how clean it was. The eggrolls......oh man! Most times the egg rolls are bulk,frozen, premade and ehhh. These are fresh and awesome. We got the pineapple express, Beef Pho, and of course, the eggrolls. Im still making my circuit around all the local Pho joints. So far I haven't been disappointed. The one thing I gotta say, you get ALOT of food. Id recommend splitting a entree.

    Beef Lo Mein

    I tried to pick up my lo mein with my fork to get it out of just sitting in the excess grease/oil in my to-go box, and it's still extremely oily. Worst lo mein I've probably ever had. It's flavorless compared to the overwhelming taste of oil. Beef Lomein

    Yummy ! Pad Thai with shrimp and chicken , teriyaki chicken with fried rice,All food is great here!

    This is my favorite restaurant in San Angelo! It is always great and the staff is always friendly! Yummy food!

    Spring roll and Panang Curry
    Kat P.

    Found this cute little restaurant while at lunch. They weren't very busy on a Thursday afternoon but was surprised just how good their food was. I had the spring rolls and the panang curry and it was sooooo good. It was perfectly spiced. I only wish their spring rolls came with the peanut sauce. The staff was also very nice and helpful with suggestions of what's in their menu. I will definitely be back!
