    Tried the beef pho and fried chicken rice. My husband really liked his chicken fried rice, first bite of chicken for me was tender and amazing. Second bite the chicken tasted burnt. Beef pho was really good, with perfect broth! Service was decent, slower to receive both meals. One meal came about 5 minutes before the other one. Restaurant was empty with no other patrons. Ambiance was decorated unique, only thing was the temperature. Very warm in here and thermostat was reading 83. Not ideal for eating hot soup.

    This place was much cheaper in cost compared to 2-3 other pho restaurants in the area by a lot. Others were around $12-$13 which is Crazy for a pho restaurant. This place was around $8-$9. This was comparing the prices of the small bowl. Could you imagine going to a McDonalds and paying $12-$15 for a Big Mac meal? They offer different types of drinks and even have their party tray prices for the popular dishes. The employee that helped me was very nice. The amount of food in the small bowl seemed a little less than what I would get at typical pho restaurant. The pho broth was average. I've had better but I have paid more for broth that was not as good as this place. I would come here again

    We've been here maybe 5 times. To go and eating in. I always have the spring rolls and banh mi. Never any complaints about the food and the people here are nice. I always enjoy the interior decor.

    This location is so cute! My boyfriend and I have dined in before, but today we ordered for pick up. The banh mi's here are so good ! The bread is nice and crusty and there's shredded carrots and jalapeños inside! There isn't much meat in them unfortunately as you can see from my photo. A little on the skimpier side, but the flavor is so good that you won't mind as much. My boyfriend only comes here for the banh mi's so yeah they are pretty good! I will say my shrimp spring rolls weren't that good. The peanut sauce that came with them didn't help much either. The sauce was rather watery. All in all this place is convenient! Right around the corner from us and the service is amazing.

    Must try Vietnamese restaurant! I came back several times and always enjoy my meals. The food is delicious, staff friendly and gently with everything, bring chill out feelings to me. The atmosphere is no less important than quality, wooden smell and no lyrics music are so perfect

    The decor inside

    This place is a little hidden treasure in the far west suburbs of H-town. The decor and music gives the place an ambiance that will set you at peace. The service is always so polite and friendly. I highly recommend you check this place out soon if you haven't yet.

    Ordered the pho tai nam and a small order of the wonton soup. The soup broth was tasty. Not too salty and oily l, but definitely a clean flavor. The meat could had been more tender. The noodles were good too. As for the wonton, the broth was lighter. I got the pork wonton without the shrimp. Good overall. The environment is spacious and clean. It's a mom and pop shop. Service is pretty quick for a small shop. Overall, I would come back to try something different.

We made a simple request to have them put the seafood on the side so we could get a full container of the liquid gumbo - and add the seafood ourselves as we desired.

AND we find out the kitchen staff / owner (?) is making HER pay for the container of liquid out of her own pocket!!! WHO DOES THAT!!!??? ESPECIALLY when THEY are the ones who didn't fulfill our original request .... she quite literally had to take out her own wallet and actually pay for OUR gumbo liquid!!!... That is OUTRAGEOUS and COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! THEY are the ones who could've followed the original instructions - not her - and they have the gall to make her pay for it!!! All this to say we will NEVER return due to this level of INCOMPETENCY ... If you eat here - you've been warned! Don't waste your time or hard-earned money on this JOKE of a restaurant!!! They DO NOT deserve to even be in business with this level of incompetency and complete DISREGARD for their customers! Also see copy of receipt for validity of our complaint...

I was told they charge extra for lemon pepper. I simply asked when they started charging for it because I've never been charged before. The employee responded that they have always charged for it. When I explained that I had never been charged in the past, she told me she had been working there a long time and had never seen me before. At that point, it felt like I was being called a liar. I made it clear that I had no problem paying the charge--I was only asking when the policy changed. The issue wasn't the cost; it was the way I was treated. As a longtime customer, I didn't appreciate being spoken to that way. Because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I'll be sharing my experience with the customers and friends I've referred there over the years. I have proof of some of my past purchases and visits.

CITRUS HEAT CRAWFISH (medium heat): Strong kick when dipped in the juice at the bottom of the bag. Good flavor, but doesn't compare to my favorite crawfish flavor (The Mix at Crawfish Cafe). Large to medium-sized crawfish (late May). GARLIC BUTTER MUSSELS (mild heat): Really good! Large to medium-sized mussels. RAW OYSTERS: They were fine. Not bad, not particularly great. The word that came to mind was lackluster. I know they're gulf oysters, but I've had much better gulf oysters. Large to medium-sized. No small ones. Came with 1 small lemon slice and 4 small lime slices. LOBSTER BURGER: Really good! Great flavor! Good, brioche bun! Felt loaded! They didn't skimp on lobster meat. I saw a whole small claw in there! Appreciated the toothpick to keep it all together as much as possible. Would've been pretty messy without it. The FRIES were really good as well! Lightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and well-seasoned. GUMBO: This was not very good. The rice was fully submerged under the gumbo, not on the side. The rice was also a little hard/undercooked. The meats were bland. The gumbo soup was very thin, like water (I prefer it thicker in consistency). On the bright side, the soup was flavorful.

We received the shrimp & crab relatively fast; perfect texture and flavor. Everything was juicy and easy to peel. Our server forgot our 4lb crawfish order probably because we had been talking flavors etc no biggie it was fixed quickly..... however after our crawfish was rush ordered it came out with dark red shells that were super hard. Generally this is from it being served right after its required boil cook time and NOT soaking for the additional 20-30 minutes needed to soften the shells and soak up the flavor. The crawfish were extremely difficult to peel and many stuck the inside of the shells another indication that it wasn't post soaked. I asked the server to ask the kitchen if our batch had been post soaked or straight from the boiler... he came back letting me know that they told him "well it's the end of the season and that's probably why they're OFF".... this response is utterly insane to me as we eat crawfish several times a week allllllll through the season and 3 places just in last 7 days and they were easy to peel and around the same size as these. It's not the servers fault at all; he offered to bring something else but my husband was already fighting his way through the bag and after the horrible excuse from the kitchen I'm just gonna stop somewhere else on the way home. I'm not ok with wasted food or money as crawfish is a waste when it's stuck in the shells. Please post soak your crawfish as it's such an easy fix.

The food is consistently flavorful, and whenever I'm missing New Orleans, this place gives me a taste of home. What keeps me coming back is not just the food, but also the outstanding customer service. The staff is always kind, welcoming, and attentive. Many times, I've placed an order before work, and they have it ready with the same level of care and hospitality as if I were dining in the restaurant. That level of service is truly appreciated. The food is always fresh, hot, and prepared consistently. One of my absolute favorites is the remoulade sauce. It is incredibly flavorful, tasty, and complements the meal perfectly. For health reasons, I recently ordered the Kids Catfish Meal, and it was the perfect choice. The portion size was more than enough, and I even had dirty rice left over to enjoy later. The meal includes an entrée, side, and drink, making it an excellent value for the price. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that delivers both quality food and exceptional customer service on a consistent basis. The employees are truly a jewel, and their dedication does not go unnoticed. Highly recommended! (5 Stars)
