You will order at your table with a server and they bring the food to your table but you will pay at a counter in the back. All of your condiments and utensils are on the table in caddies. Our server took our order efficiently and brought us waters but I had to take a water back bc it had some unknown object in it. We ordered bun (vermicelli noodle bowls), brisket pho, fried rice (chicken and beef), spring rolls and chili chicken wings. All of the food was well cooked and flavorful but came out piece meal with some food coming out well ahead of others. My pho was very flavorful and the broth was very pleasant and smooth. Service was attentive and prompt. Great meal for a fair price.

The steak was thinly sliced and cooked perfectly and the soft tendon had so much flavor. The broth was seasoned great and with a little sriracha it opened up my sinuses really well. I also had an order of the fresh summer rolls and they are some of my favorite I've had. Fresh is the proper word for them. They'd make the Prince of Bel-Air proud. The staff was very friendly and personable even with a little bit of a language difference. The atmosphere was very laid back and there appeared to be a couple of regular customers in there too. I didn't try the bubble tea, but next time I go you can guarantee I'll be trying it to give me something sweet to contrast with my pho. Their portion sizes are nice as well. If you're in Lynchburg and you want legit Pho, you gotta check this place out. After typing all this out, I kinda wanna go back for seconds already... who's in with me??

This Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet is located in a relatively spacious building structure with…read morean extensive all-you-can-eat food items, including all types of chicken, beef, pork, fish, and seafood selections. Besides this, it has a small salad bar area, Hibachi area, Sushi area, and a very small dessert area with a selection of ice creams as well. The decor of the place is nothing fancy nor modernized and many of the furniture are a bit run down. The "make believe" what looks like a fountain, without water, in the entrance is nothing to brag about and the artwork on the wall look kind of cheap. As one enters the restaurant there is an order and pay counter where a person who seems like the manager gives you a warm greeting with a smile and efficiently takes your order, charges you and has one of the hosts take you to your booth. The price for the buffet is not too expensive and considering the large selection of food items available, this may be what continues to attract many people to eat at this place. We decided to eat here today because other buffets and opened restaurants around had a wait of more than an hour. Once you're seated at your booth, a server is assigned to bring you your drink and refills, and to remove your empty dishes once you finish eating what's on them. We had a very friendly and efficient young man who was always coming around to check on us with a smile and providing exceptional customer service. Now, if we talk about the food, which is the main reason one goes to a restaurant in the first place, leaves much to be desired. The quality of many of the items available is very poor and/or not cooked well. The turkey slices served were dry and not to fresh as well as many of the seafood items were lukewarm and not freshly served. The fried shrimps were crunchy and warm, however they were flat and not plumpy. The Sesame Chicken seemed to have more batter than meat. Even the squid looked and tasted cheap and was not warm. The Sushi Bar had a few variety of Suchi but they lacked craftsmanship. So much so that I didn't even dare to try one, and the employees working that station didn't encourage me either when they saw me there. In the Hibachi area, I noticed that the grill was not too cleanand the cook manding this area did not accommodate me when I asked if I could add two eggs to my items before he served them. If management addresses some of the above issues I mentioned, I think this Buffet restaurant will have a better chance to successfully grow its clientele and not lose many. I invite all of you reading my review to go experience for yourself if they have followed my recommendations, and this can only be done by trying you out.

I have been here since Pho Saigon first opened. At first their pho is okay, a little bit bland but i keep coming back for more pho and support this restaurant until now i would say that we have the best Vietnamese restaurant in Roanoke, I always have the best and fresh veggies in here. The bean sprouts, basil and lime and the chili peppers always fresh and their food getting better every single day . The service in here fast and food come out timely. After reading the review about tips, I came to the restaurant today and i asked my waitress if she keeps her tips and she said "yes". She also told that she put in the jar until end of the day to split with the other waitress, but now just like to put in the jar because sometimes people leave change, when she walks it would make sound. If you have been to this restaurant, come and try this restaurant out because we are happy to have a Vietnamese restaurant in Roanoke and help local business, read more

This place is awesome! I get pretty much everything in my noodles except the tripe and maybe something else. Still great being simple or crazy. First time visit was nearing close and waiter service wasn't all that great. The rest after that were right on. Never complained about the food of course I don't really get anything other than the spring rolls and noodles! read more

A lady up front takes your order and all seems like everything will go well and you will have and excellent dining experience. That is, until the food arrives. At the ordering counter I ordered their most expensive item on the menu: Steak & Scallops Hibachi. And two Egg Rolls, and requested to dine in. As I waited for the food to arrive I had very high expectations on how good the food would be. And was looking forward for it to arrive so I could enjoy it. But when I was called to the counter to go pick it up, I had no idea of what a surprise I would get. At first when I opened the container where it came in, all looked nice and delicious. But when I started eating the fried rice didn't taste fresh. It was dry and felt and tasted like it was reheated. Then when I tasted the steak, it tasted like spoiled meat. I couldn't believe what I was eating. The mushrooms were not cooked well and some were even cold. And the slices of zucchini had stains on their skins. The egg rolls were dry. Like if they had been fried ahead of time and reheated. But the worst was the steak. It tasted like rotten meat. I couldn't believe it nor couldn't finish eating it. Just threw it away and left the restaurant. When I got home I brushed my teeth and washed my mouth to get rid of that horrible flavor from the rotten meat. What else I got I can only describe by having to run to the toilet. I don't like to write negative reviews, but in this case I feel obligated to do so, because of the spoiled food they are serving there and their lack of cooking knowledge. Another case of Don't judge a book by its cover. In this case the cover is deceiving the reader.

The service was good, and since we arrived around 4 PM, the restaurant was very quiet and not crowded. However, the food fell short of expectations, and unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to recommend this restaurant based on my experience. We started with the dumplings, which were gummy and not properly seared. The texture was unpleasant, and after trying one, I couldn't continue eating them. For my main course, the vegetables had an unusual flavor, and the noodles were heavily drenched in oil, making the dish difficult to enjoy. I wasn't able to finish it. My partner ordered the duck (no photo available), and while the presentation was nice, he found the texture overly chewy. He ended up pouring extra sauce over the dish just to finish it. On a positive note, both the Thai tea and Thai green tea were very enjoyable. We even ordered refills, which are offered at half price--a nice touch and probably the highlight of our visit. Overall, while the service, ambiance, and beverages were good, the food quality did not meet our expectations.
