I gotta say they really nailed both the flavor and texture of the chicken 8/10. Both of the owners were very sweet to us. They also gave us sweet potatoes shrimp cake to try. We'll definitely gonna come back to support when I am lazy to make viet food. Highly recommended.

Today we needed to fuel up before starting out on a road trip and we did just that - fill up with tasty goodness!! It was a mid-afternoon departure; I debated on how much to each; we filled up just enough, and had leftovers for later in the evening; a fantastic dining experience, in-restaurant and in the hotel once we arrived in NW Indiana. Tim was a great help, welcoming us, helping with the order and delivering our food. We enjoyed: - steak wrap with side of veggies - Steak and Asian veggies - a side of brisket - oh so good! - Steak wrap, which was as good 5 hours later as it was in the restaurant The lemongrass pesto sauce is so amazing you can drink it and just enjoy the goodness as it overwhelms you.

Great spot to walk to on a nice day! There's also a lot of parking beside and behind the building, so no excuses on having a tough time getting there. There are 2 doors in, 1 for pickup orders and 1 for dine in. The dine in door leads to you a line/maze that ends at the front counter (where you order) this gives you time to look over the paper menus, or the tv menus boards. I went with the paper ones since the boards were hard to see from that distance. (Old eyes I guess!) It was odd that the dine in door maze went past a cooler and soda station for pickup orders. Ordering was easy and the young lady was helpful in explaining what was spicy or not. We got the big Thai wrap and a seasonal noodle bowl. They also give you a number for your table and directed us up a ramp to the dining area. The ramp/floor isn't consistent in its slope, so pay attention when walking up there. The dining area is painted in bright colors, with funky light fixtures and chairs. Very bright and colorful. There was a musty smell in the area that we sat, which reminded us of an old basement. The food came out pretty quickly and looked great! We enjoyed both dishes and agreed that the spicy eggplant was our favorite flavor. The plan for next time is the seasonal noodle bowl with chicken, spicy sesame sauce and chopped spicy eggplant on top. If you have the opportunity, give this a try!

The hibachi cooker spent the entire time on his cell phone while scratching his neck, face & arms asking continuously, "spicy , not spicy." The stir fry was overcooked. Our waitress did not wait. We had to clean our tables due to the plates piling up. We were not asked if we wanted a refill on our drinks the entire time we were there. She walked past us with a scowl on her face like we had stolen from her. She never introduced herself to the table. The food was okay but not worth the price. We waited 15 minutes for the check, she never brought it. We walked to the front and I asked the manager for the check and he directed me to the young lady at the register. Out of nowhere, our NON-waitress threw the check on the counter. All we could do was look at her. The entire time we were at this establishment, there was no interaction with the waitress because she never came to the table. I normally leave a 20%-30% tip but today it was Zero.

I knew they don't take reservations and won't seat an incomplete party, but I still got there a little early just to see if we could grab a table for five. I was surprised (in a good way) when they seated me before everyone else arrived. I even told the hostess I didn't mind waiting, but she encouraged me to go ahead and sit, which was really nice. Our server was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of while I waited. As my friends started arriving, he was quick to get them settled in too. We started with some non-alcoholic drinks and spent some time chatting before diving into the menu. It was honestly hard to pick just one thing, so I went with both the chicken pho and fried rice. I knew I wouldn't finish it all, but I really wanted both. Once we ordered, everything moved smoothly--our server checked in, made sure drinks were filled, and kept things organized. When the food came out, everything looked amazing and tasted just as good. Of course, with all the catching up we were doing, it took us a while to finish, but there was no rush at all. When we were ready, he brought the checks and was more than happy to split them out (always appreciate that!). Before leaving, I ordered a to-go meal for my husband and asked for a box for my leftovers. Our server actually took my plate and packed everything up in the back, which I wasn't expecting but really appreciated. He also brought out the to-go order right when it was ready. Honestly, everything, from the space to the service to the food, was just great. I'm already looking forward to going back again soon.

They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and I chose to sit inside by one of the large front windows, which made for a nice view of the street while I ate.

The broth was bland and lacked the rich, flavorful depth that makes a great pho. I was also surprised that the bean sprouts and herbs weren't served automatically--you have to ask for them, which felt a little unusual. After spending over $20 with tax and tip, I left disappointed. I'd be open to trying some of their other dishes if I'm back in the area, but I wouldn't return specifically for the pho.

The food was delicious and large portions! I ordered the chicken noodle pho and it was very tasty. My husband enjoyed his beef pho (I didn't like the beef because I'm not a ginger flavor fan). The orange chicken was amazing and crispy. The menu said it was spicy but it wasn't too spicy. It was perfect! The lo mein was delicious as well! Wait staff was friendly and attentive. read more
