There was no wait time with getting a seat and when you enter the building, you just see yourself and the server will come up to you, present you your menu and take your order. Prices on all these items were very fair for what they were. I ordered a spring roll and a spicy crab roll. Wait times were a bit long but it was well worth the wait. There are chopsticks that are next to you. Overall I did think it was a great experience and it was worth checking out. Plenty of vegan options to for those who are particular. This place was pretty busy also on a weekday evening.

For the price point, there was very little meat, and the duck was chewy and tasted like it had been refried several times. This has not been my experience in the past. I will try it again and see if it's better next time. So I would give it 3 1/2 stars because of the excellent curry sauce and the fact that they do put in a lot of vegetables although it would be nice if they put in broccoli as well.

If you are looking for jobs in the area I suggest you !!DO NOT WORK HERE!! First of all they do no interviews and they just take you in since they refuse to set up any social media platforms, no Indeed page or put up actual signs for hiring. You are pretty much the only person working and doing everything while they sit on their phone in the back calling people also will add ghost people onto your schedule. I was supposed to be working with 3 other girls named Sarah, Donna, and Abigail. According to Kim, she has made up four excuses with me either those people were never "hired" , one of the people couldn't work because they were sick or on vacation, one got fired, and one just quit though she was the one that made the schedule. So that meant I was the only cashier, waitress, and janitor even dealing when it was packed. They don't provide training all you learn is how to fill up an ice machine and pour soda in a glass not even teaching you how to make hot tea and Vietnamese coffee. They do not understand that you have a personal life, will come 1 hour late when opening, and will never notify you when it's closed. I am a single mother and have 2 kids that need someone to come home to from school told them at least FIVE times I cannot work all day due to that so i'd do lunch shifts. Andy, another owner YELLED in my face saying that i cannot leave early that day. I left early and quit the job because my kids weren't gonna sit on a cold apartment porch with no food until 9pm. There has been plenty of times i'd call Kim for work on days, she'd say she "woke up late" and notify me last second that the restaurant will be closed. I get things happen but this happened too constantly. They also love to accuse you of things and teach you to do things correctly tons of times even if you keep doing it correctly I got accused of stealing money from the drawer but it was just tip money I collected at the end of the day. And Andy loves his security cameras so much he'll threaten you with them!! Had to clean before I left and had to do the same thing for nearly 2 hours they got mad because I wasn't cleaning tables correctly or mopping how they wanted me to. The mop water they made me mop with was brown and had mouse feces in it just fyi. I'm all for supporting small businesses but in my opinion you should not support a place that treats their workers like animals! On the food side the food isn't terrible here but there's mice somewhere in the building. There are plenty of other Vietnamese restaurants in the East Tennessee area that actually are open most of the time that probably treat their workers like family!!! read more

I do not recommend this place at all the people on Facebook must be fake or really good friends with the owners. I have went here 3 times one of the times being it randomly closed with 2 workers sitting outside in the heat wondering where the owners are. Another time where it was jammed and there was only one person dealing with a big crowd and the person getting yelled at by owners, and the last time they were only doing takeout orders so I ordered online through Skipli and they never made my order. So I went inside and asked and both owners kept screaming and cussing me out, both English and Vietnamese and kept trying to claim that I don't know how to order online. Excuse me but I've ordered off of many services, what a poor excuse to blame customers! Bistro and Roots have way better and calmer service than this, I don't understand why people hype this place up. I guess this is just my luck with this place apparently. read more

I have ordered shrimp fried rice on many occasions and this was not a five star in my opinion. It lacked more flavor. When I eat a great tasting platter I typically skip them yum yum sauce and enjoy the way it was meant to be. This meal led me to ask if it was available, which is not. I then made an attempt to put soy sauce in it which I caused my own disaster for my remainder of the meal. Which was fine because I am trying to cut back and my wife enjoyed it later in the night as a leftover. My wife ordered a dish which was not cooked right (don't remember but doesn't matter) because the manager quickly agreed and recognized the issue and replaced the meal then comped the new meal also. Awesome service. The meal had something to do with the meat being sliced too thick, which caused over cooking, then ended in being dried out and tough. They are fixing this issue. The plate only had one large shrimp and a few small shrimps (like from the cup of ramen type). I felt it needed more shrimp. My wife's meal had a lot of large shrimps. Just couldn't give five stars even though they tried way above and beyond just due to my liking of my meal. Thank you again to management.

I almost walked out right then, but since we were there, I held my displeasure in and I thought OK well hopefully the food will be better. I had Pad Thai and my friend had drunken noodles. My Pad Thai was basically noodles with peanut bits in it. Not any type of peanut sauce like it's supposed to have. It was tasteless and disgusting. But the portion was huge.

But for those people that have eaten at a Thai restaurant before will know that this is not real Thai food. No spices. No sauce. No taste. Will I ever be back? No, I will not.
