Okay, they might not look the prettiest, but they were very tasty and juicy. Then we ordered the Spicy Beef, Tripe & Tendon; They were flavorful, not too spicy, and had a slight sweetness that we could taste. We also ordered the Sour & Spicy Chicken Gizzard, which was perfect with rice. We also got the Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet, and that ended up being my favorite dish; Crispy, flavorful, and not overcooked at all. We also ordered the Hot and Sour Soup and the Beef Stew Noodle Soup. Both were delicious. We really enjoyed our meal, and this definitely feels like a legit spot. We'll be back to try more dishes next time.

The soup dumplings are decent, but they are frozen, which kind of just seem like false advertising because on the menu, it says something about 16 hour long broth. The skewers are just okay too. The Mapo tofu is a fucking death trap. There is so much mala in it that my mouth was buzzing and it taste medicinal. And before anyone says that it's supposed to taste like that, it's not. I'm Chinese and it's not supposed to taste like CHM. Also, they charge for water and while that's not illegal, it definitely is scummy.

I would've loved less dough, more soup, overall bigger portion size (larger dumplings or more of them). Otherwise, the soup itself was tasty. We also ordered the 14. Chongqing Fried Spicy Chicken $13.95, which was a platter of boneless chicken and peppers. I was very impressed with the crisp exterior but soft/juicy interior of the chicken. I'm not usually a spice person, but I was left feeling tingly but not in pain and not numb. Overall I found Heng's Kitchen to be disproportionately pricey given the taste and portion sizes. I'm pretty critical and discerning about my XLB, and this place did not totally satisfy my craving, although I was pleasantly surprised about the chicken. Note: rice is not included with any dish and is $1 extra. Free room-temperature self-serve water available.

"TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!"…read more I wanted to like this place based on the reviews. Completely disappointed. Absolute worst Chinese food I've ever had. I ordered the orange chicken and chow mein from Beijing Express and had to throw almost all of it out after a few bites. What a disappointment. The chow mein had zero vegetables and the noodles were horribly chewy with a weird, off texture -- like they'd been sitting too long or not cooked properly. The orange chicken was even worse: 90% thick, crunchy batter with almost no actual chicken inside. The few pieces of chicken I found were hard, dry, and completely overcooked. The sauce on both was actually flavorful, but it couldn't save the meal. For $12+ I expect edible food, not this. I ended up throwing it away and walking next door to OPA Life Greek Cafe instead. Do yourself a favor and skip this place completely. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. ...Never again. 千万不要去这家店！食物非常差，完全是浪费钱。避开这里！

The chicken was good, but I didn't like love the sweet & sour sauce. It was runny & a little too sour. The crab Rangoon was really good. The fried rice looked good, but it fell flat for me. I'm not sure why, but even with the soy sauce it didn't have much of a taste. It had broccoli, peas, carrots & onions in it. I'm not sure I will order from here again, but if I do, I wouldn't get the rice again.

Food: 5 stars for the Lemon Grass Chicken. Other Pho is typical of most Pho places... Good but nothing ground breaking. Good food at good prices. Specialty drinks are good also. Service: huh? Do you expect service at McD? You order your food, get your food and pay for your food. In the middle, they might refill your drink. Need service? Why are you here? Go somewhere else? This place will get you fed with good food and for cheap. I am not complaining, just explaining to complainers about what is normal at Pho places. Decor: The Mickey Mouse is weird, if not creepy... haha, but then, I am not here for the decor or service. read more

It can definitely get quite busy, and the parking can be difficult so that is something to note. You order up front and then take a seat if you are dining in, and I have experienced it before where there are no available tables to eat at. Otherwise, it's mostly okay! The food is pretty good, I have to say, for what seems like an Asian fusion spot, the Vietnamese dishes are really authentic. And not many pho places are open late, so it's a great choice for those late nights as a student. I really like their Berry Twilight drink, it's pretty to look at and it's tasty and light. I love aloe vera in it, and always get it half sweet. I don't get anything else really, and I haven't felt like I wanted to.

There were way too many noodles in it so it became thick and pasty. The server did not understand my request for my spring rolls to come out with the soup, so they came out first. I like to have my rolls with the soup; if they sit around they become tough and gummy. Not sure if this is a one-off situation or not, and I will give them another shot.

No long waits, and the staff are genuinely sweet and attentive. I've tried a few AZ PHO & GRILL locations, but this one definitely has the best bun bo hue.

The spring rolls could have tasted fresher and the pho wasn't the best; it could have had more meat and onions/cilantro. It was also served with 1/4 of a lime, and when I asked for more I wasn't told I would be charged for it. But that's fine. Overall, the service was great and would keep me coming back, but the food is just okay. It's a good pho restaurant for the area.
