Pho is always 50% off so don't be alarmed by the $26 price tag listed in the menu. The menu comes with fried rice, egg rolls, Chinese dishes like orange chicken and Mongolian beef. To eat, the beef and shrimp fried rice wasn't bad and made more flavorful with the chili sauce on the table. (It's more spicy than sriracha.) My wife ordered the pho with well done beef. It wasn't as large or flavorful as other pho we've had. Service is very fast and friendly. Pay at the register and leave with a fortune cookie.

If I could eat Vietnamese food every day for the rest of my life I would, I mush prefer it to anything we have here. The food is amazing and every time I eat here I feel at "home" again.

I stopped in recently and got a couple of bánh mì and some gỏi cuốn tôm (shrimp summer rolls). There is a kiosk where you can order, which makes it easy as it has photos and you can tap to pay. If you need a receipt, be sure to ask at the counter, as the machine didn't print me one. It only took a few minutes to get our order and we got to watch the employee assemble our tasty sandwiches. I got the bánh mì Đặc biệt (special combination) and Nate ordered the bánh mì thịt nướng (BBQ pork). The bánh mì are still my favorite in town, with perfectly crispy yet soft bread, fresh veggies and herbs, and delicious meat. The BBQ pork was my favorite this time, even though I always order the special combination. The summer rolls were refreshing and we love the dipping sauce.

I think bc of the time, the bread must have been stale from when they baked it in the morning... to give you an idea, I didn't have them toast it, and when I ate it in the car on the drive home, it was crumbly, there were big pieces of crumbs everywhere. The meat portion was also little in comparison to the baguette. I also got a few snacks from the fridge: the coconut jelly, flan, and yogurt. The coconut jelly was bad, the white part (coconut milk gelatin) had gone sour. The clear part was still good - which I took a chance at bc it was $5... The flan did not taste fresh, the texture was that of a yogurt that had solidified and kind of liquidy... The yogurt was actually good, probably bc yogurt can't go bad... I also got the banh cuon and com chay, both of those were fortunately good. However the com chay container was stapled shut on multiple sides which made it a pain to open with the risk of the staples also landing in the com chay. Overall, I get that Vietnamese food might be scarce in the GR area, but quality was really lacking and if you had not had banh mi in a major metro area, you wouldn't know any better... I didn't come back and probably won't...

The ambiance is pretty typical of any Thai restaurant. Tastefully decorated, not cluttered or tacky at all. The menu was a bit lengthy, but it was nicely laid out and easy to read. The prices are pretty comparable with other Thai restaurants. Our waiter, I believe, was also the owner of the restaurant, a very pleasant gentleman. He was knowledgable about the menu and offered a spice range of 1 (no spice) to 10 (extremely spicy), and anywhere in between. My son ordered the Drunk Mama dish, my husband ordered the Mongolian dish, and after asking if there was soy in it (and mentioning I had a soy allergy), I ordered the Vegetable dish. The waiter assured me they could make it without soy. It was literally only a few minutes when the dishes started coming to the table, piping hot. I had only taken about 2 bites when the waiter came over to the table, took one look at my dish and said, "Oh, let me remake that for you. I can tell this has soy in it." He whisked it away immediately. A few minutes later, I was given a newly prepared dish, without soy, and was told there would be no charge for dinner. I also received many apologies for the mixup. This is one place that genuinely cares about their customers. My vegetable dish was full of tasty, very fresh vegetables, cooked to perfection. All 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The spice levels were perfect, the presentation was nice, and the taste was outstanding. We love Thai food and have tried a lot of them, but this one is now at the top of our list. We live on the south end of Grand Rapids, but we will definitely be back! I'm looking forward to trying many of the other dishes listed on the menu. I highly recommend you try Jasmine Thai too.

It's authentic, fresh, clean and friendly. I need to post some pics but wanted to review because it's that good and I want them to stay open! Many of the dishes are great but these 3 dishes I order consistently. -any of the Pho soups - good flavor, not too much MSG, very large bowls, fresh add in veggies, perfect amount of meat -Pho Ap Chao - very large serving with tons of veggies, beef and seafood. The shrimp is good quality not that pumped up, weird textured stuff. And this is how pan fried wide thick noodles should be prepared, crispy and a little burnt on the bottom -Cảnh ga chiến nước mủm (fried chicken wings in fish sauce and garlic) - savory, a little sweet, not a ton of breading. It's a lot of wings so could be shared as an appetizer but I normally eat it with rice as a meal. I do wish they had a stir fry veggie dish but we order it with Pho Ap Chao and share family style. Just a few mentions they could improve on. Add a stir fry dish, the Com Sung Trứng dish is not very flavorful and sometimes they run out of dishes things. Overall its quality, authentic, great food.
