The BEST vegan desserts in town !!…read more THIS is how vegan desserts should be done Located rt next door to Chef Tanya's kitchen It's so hard to find ones that actually taste good and aren't crazy sweet or falling apart... this place nails it.

The food was SO good I almost forgot I'm NOT a vegetarian. At one point I was halfway through my meal thinking, "Wow, this chicken is amazing"... except there was no chicken.

We both got the pho tai and enjoyed it because the broth was flavorful without it being too salty or strong. The spring rolls were quite noodle heavy - not bad but we wish the proportions of the ingredients were more even. If you're in the area and craving pho, this is really your only option but definitely a good one! Service is pretty nonexistent so you'll need to flag down a waiter if you want something beyond them coming by to take your food order and bring your food. Plenty of parking available.

First, I eat pho all over the world, sometimes several times per week. After two back-to-back…read moreorders, this is now my favorite pho spot ever, and the only problem is that I live more than 90 minutes away. The first time I ordered takeout, and actually ended up not eating this until the next day. Everything was delicious and the broth reheated well. The portions are HUGE - I usually order an extra serving of noodles and still don't get as much as this standard order. Same with the rare steak - it was double the amount I usually receive, and my meal was $20. The broth is flavorful and clear to slightly cloudy with a rich amber color - just like fresh, homemade bone broth should be - broth had just the right amount of fat and collagen, which is expected and desired. Flavor was on point with warming spices and just the right amount of salt. All items were boxed separately, including a nice portion of cilantro and chopped white onion. The package of add-ins contained a ton of bean sprouts, large slices of jalapeno and a big bunch of fresh, tender Thai basil. I enjoyed the dish so much that I returned the next day and ordered the same meal, although this time I asked for extra lime because I enjoy the extra brightness that citrus gives the soup. My broth had cooled a bit on the journey home, so I warmed it in a measuing cup and found that the portion was a full 3 cups of broth. Again, the noodle portion was 3x what I typically receive at any other restaurant, and the meat portion was also huge. I asked for extra limes and received about 6 wedges in a separate bag. All of the other add-ins were the same as before, fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Both days the food came out in less than 10 minutes. The service was less friendly than some, but I don't expect a lot other than the food to be good. This is likely a family-run business, not a franchise that makes chicken sandwiches. My order was 100% perfect both days, the food was exceptionally good and the portions alone are worth it if you're hungry (I actually had more than I could eat in one sitting both times, and that is not normal for me when eating pho).

There's a popular chain of Bahn mi sandwiches where you get plenty of bread and even a fair amount of lettuce but if you were hoping for a sandwich full of meat and daikon and flavor well skip them and head to this place! Only the big boys were finishing a whole sandwich. We had a vermicelli bowl with chicken and shrimp spring rolls. We didn't finish because we got full before the plates were empty. The tastes are bright and full of flavor. The peanut sauce was a hit for the spring rolls and I had both fish sauce and ginger sauce. The fish sauce is to liquid to really cling but what flavor. The ginger has a superb front taste and an ending that brings the heat. Ingredients are totally fresh and quality. Servings are plentiful and prices are reasonable. Sure friendly and approachable staff ready to guide you into gastronomical bliss. And the restaurant though small and unassuming in a strip mall is clean and pleasant. Bon apetite

The service was terribly slow but the servers were friendly. We had to wait a while to be seated but we noticed there were a handful of tables that just needed to be cleared We ordered the veggie egg rolls, veggie spring roll, and all got pho. Their spring roll was a bit pricy for it being veggie and it was the length of my iPhone. Their veggie egg rolls were pretty good but we were bummed they were out of the regular ones. I got the steak pho and the meat was dry and tough to eat. Their food was decent. I wasn't expecting much for a spot in Palm Springs.

On our journey to Palm Springs my team left the food choices to me since I'm picky. Lol. We showed up on a Wednesday night (note that they do not open Monday and Tuesday), around 4:40 PM. There was already a long line of individuals waiting to get in. There were about 15 people ahead of us. At opening, we were immediately sat down into the second dining room to the right of the restaurant. It gives a different vibe than the main room with its red bench seating and lantern ceiling. Although the benches were high, and the tables were a little low, we managed. Of course, we tried the complementary congee. Which I love, but my colleagues were not a big fan of. We ordered the calamari and the crispy beef noodle. We also ordered the shrimp and mango spring roll, the softshell crab and green papaya salad, and the pork belly lettuce wraps. The shining stars, for my colleagues were the calamari and crispy beef noodle. Followed by the shrimp and mango spring rolls and the softshell crab. The three of us did not enjoy the pork belly at all even though it came recommended. We actually only ate 2 pieces. The food overall was good although we wish we didn't get the pork or at least stuck to our goal of four main dishes. The waitress recommended we get one more and that's when we added the pork. Next time we will go with our gut instinct. One thing that was disappointing on this visit was that when we ordered drinks, one of them came out in a can. We were under the assumption it was a draft pour. For $14 it should have been noted that it is canned. The way that it is written into the menu no one would assume otherwise.

As a new yorker, Chinese food is a staple. I've lived a lot of places since I've lived in New York…read moreand I have not been able to find comparable Chinese food. I was so incredibly impressed with Da Chef Noodle, I felt actually giddy joy when discovering it existed and then even more excited once I learned the food is as good as you think it is going to be when you walk in. Staff was low key but kind and helpful. I popped in on accident one night when I was in the area and have ordered several times since. My first fortune cookie read: You are in the right place for something unforgettable. And boy, were they right! The roast pork was sweet, tangy balanced perfect with salty. The walnut shrimp might be the best I've ever had and I've lived all over the world. Typing this now, I can't wait to go back. I'm new out here to the valley and didn't expect to find such incredibly delicious Chinese food. So grateful for this find!

I've been several times, the first time about 3 weeks after it opened. Didn't write a review then, or did I? Anyway... It is about the size of a Starbucks lobby, complete with standard decorative restaurant applications. There's a couple of tables and a half dozen booths to sit in. Soda selection is limited, and they do have a few adult beverages there as well. I don't drink, so I usually don't check out the drink menu. Not to make the staff seem too stereotypical, but as soon as I heard the yelling in the kitchen, with the language of the natives, I knew from the first visit, this was gonna be at the very least, a tasty meal. This visit was not a disappointing one. I ordered the potstickers, and an order of combo lo mein. Very good and very filling. And all the flavors were very authentic. I will say the service is hot and miss, but only because the language barrier is somewhat thick. But, I really don't need to ask for anything else past the meal being set, because that's ultimately what matters, in my opinion. As long as we communicate, the plates and cups aren't thrown at me, I'm a happy camper. I feel like this place is a little more popular for take out, but I think it is also worthy of a sit in meal. I'm having the duck next time... Thanks!

This is review mainly for the mistake of giving our food away by accident. Actually, it wasn't…read moregiven away, but it was taken/stolen from an uBer Eats delivery person. We placed a large order in advanced online, ample of time for them to make. Upon arrival, our food was nowhere to be found. Apparently it was grabbed by someone else by mistake or on purpose. My question is, why does this establishment place their online and phone orders by the doorway? The orders are placed on a shelf by the door and food that have been sitting there can be taken by anyone. Supposedly, we were told that it wasn't the first time it's happened. That is has been happening lately that people have been grabbing food either by mistake or taking them. Why now are they doing anything about it? Why didn't they fix that issue when it happened the first time? This is the first time I've ever seen any food spot place togo orders by the door that way. I'm not sure if it's laziness or that's more efficient and quicker for them to get rid of the order. That's a huge problem right there. Anyone can take food by mistake or just plain steal them. This place is small. The staff should have delivery personnel come up to the register and ask for the orders. It's not that hard. All orders should be behind the counter. Apparently a delivery guy came in there and grabbed an order then proceeded to take our bag as well. It's a logistics issue that shouldn't even be a concern. They did fix the problem but we had to wait for them to remake everything all over again so we had to wait again. We the customers had to ask them to accommodate us and have them solve their problems. The staff are young people. They were nice about it but I suggest better service and be more attentive and quick. It was an $80+ order and the food was alright. Expensive and was mediocre. Need more flavor on most and the position could be better. Overall, they did fix the issue, but this place needs to do better.

The tuna nigiri had visible browning/discoloration on the ends and, more concerning, had a very foul odor that immediately indicated it was not fresh. As someone who eats sushi regularly, this was not normal tuna by any standard. I brought the issue to the staff's attention and chose not to eat any of the meal. While the employees were polite, the quality of the food itself was unacceptable, especially when serving raw fish. Freshness is the bare minimum with sushi, and this experience completely missed that mark. Quick service and kind staff can only go so far when the food is this poor. Sadly, I will not be returning.
