    Love this place!! I've been here 2-3xs a month for the last several months. It's definitely one of my go to spots in the area. In an area where there is a plethora of food options, that's saying a lot! Service is always great and the food comes out quickly. I love that they have a good deal of options for us plant based/vegan folks. Their menus is a bit lengthy. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the variety of selections. Everything that I've tried has been really good. I usually start with the fried spring rolls. They have fresh spring rolls as well, which are really good too. They give you this simple freshness to start the meal. Lo mein with tofu and vegetables is what I order most frequently. (You'll have to ask if the noodles are vegan for yourself.) I can't get enough of this place! Always super chill and service is consistently good.

    Great service and the food is exquisite. I couldn't find anything wrong if I tried. It makes me feel at home, with lovely lights and decor.

    First time ordering to go. Did not expect this. I was very hungry and the broth was super hot and filled way up for me to put all this together in a car. Grrrrr! The food was decent when I put it together at home. The chicken seemed boiled too long and hard to chew though.

    I'm only giving it four stars instead of five because I don't remember the Sesame Chicken that well--even though it was only two days ago. I know I finished it though. And the Chicken Satay was very good. Some people seem to be disappointed in the Pho and service, but I didn't order Pho and had no problems with the service. I can only speak from my own experience. Therefore... Recommended.

    Props for true to style experience. The value is above and beyond. Big bowls of hot pho. An excellent spot to introduce a novice and new dining experience. Must pho. There are other choices as well but this is hard to resist. I added Tofu and got a quart of broth to go. Excellent!

    A8 - Cheese Puffs, create your own pho bowl with chicken and well done flank.

    My mom and I came to try this for the first time in the area, we have been craving for a delicious broth/soup. We have passed this restaurant a million times and I'm so surprised that we never stopped by before. I'm so glad we did! It was beautiful on the inside, the decorations and how the inside resembles the culture is beautiful and peaceful. Our waiter was really patient with us and helped us out for our order. We got an order of cheese puffs that came with this delicious pineapple sauce! So delicious!! And we shared the X-large pho with beef and shredded chicken and the broth was so amazing. We could not stop talking about it after we left. I really can't wait to come back!! Absolutely loved this restaurant, and the prices were amazing/very affordable!!

    Soup sides!

    I yelped some good pho while I was in the area, Saigon cafe came up and I tried them out. It was busy inside and there were many people being stuffed in/out. The staff was a bit short and curt, but provided good service. This is a 3.5 rounded up to a 4-star. I wanted to consider how busy it was when I was there and how restaurants are all having staff shortages. My main complaint was the appetizer. The A9 app says it is: "Strips of sweet potatoes and shrimp mixed in a tempura batter, fried until golden. Served with tangy fish and pineapple sauce." When it came out it was stacks of sweet potato fries (like frozen in a bag kind) cut into squares with a fried shrimp on top. It looked nothing like the menu photo and was served with some lousy fish sauce stuff. The pho was some of the best I've had though! It came with a giant plate of cilantro and goodies. The chicken and fish tasted great. I loved the broth and the fried onion crunchies in there. If I'm in GA again I would come back here for the pho on a slower night, to see if the experience is better.

    Some parking available right by the restaurant. It does get busy during lunch rush. Some staff wore masks but no social distancing enforced. Good place to grab a bowl of pho when you are in the area. Thai tea: just the right amount of sweetness and the boba is nice and chewy. Spicy basil with chicken: got the lunch special, so it came with an egg roll. Super crispy and warm. The chicken was tender, however, not spicy at all. If you are in a time crunch, definitely go for a bowl of pho instead!

    My partner and I decided to try Tani Thai 02.20.2026 and stopped by around 6:30PM for dinner…read more First off, the interior seemed clean and well-kept. The ambiance was dark and intimate, which I appreciated -- it gave the space a cozy, relaxed vibe that felt nice for a dinner date. The music was low and soft, which worked well since most of the tables were talking pretty loudly. It didn't feel chaotic or overstimulating, and we were still able to have a comfortable conversation. Service was decent -- we were seated quickly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Here's what we ordered: Tiger's Tears ($15) - 3/5 This was the dish I was most excited about. It's described as grilled beef with chili-lime seasoning, onions, scallions, and sweet peppers. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The beef was noticeably tough, chewy, and a bit sinewy rather than tender and juicy. The chili-lime sauce was very sharp and aggressively acidic -- overwhelmingly sour to the point where it masked the savory, char-grilled flavor of the meat. It was supposed to be spicy, but as an Asian who regularly eats and enjoys spicy food, there was barely any heat at all. The dish looked vibrant and colorful, but flavor-wise it felt unbalanced and slightly one-dimensional. Basil Fried Rice with Chicken ($18) - 2.5/5 The menu labeled this as spicy as well, but again, there was zero kick. Not even a subtle warmth. It tasted like very standard, plain fried rice -- mildly seasoned, slightly oily, and lacking depth. The fresh Thai basil aroma wasn't very pronounced, and the overall flavor felt muted and underwhelming. The chicken was okay texture-wise, but the dish as a whole didn't stand out or justify the price point. It needed more heat, more fragrance, and more boldness to feel like true Thai basil fried rice. Coconut Mushroom Soup with Chicken ($5.50) - 2/5 This one was disappointing. When it first arrived, it was comforting and creamy with a light coconut aroma. Initially, it tasted balanced and mildly savory. However, as it sat and I alternated between dishes, the flavor became increasingly sour and slightly off-putting. The chicken was extremely dry, stringy, and overcooked, which made it difficult to enjoy. The broth lacked the rich, silky depth I was hoping for and ended up tasting thin, overly acidic, and somewhat flat. Thai Teas ($5.50 each) - 3.5/5 Honestly, these saved the night. Sweet, creamy, and refreshing -- exactly what you expect from a good Thai tea. Smooth, well-balanced, and flavorful. Water - 0/5 I took one sip and didn't touch it again. It tasted like straight tap water with a faint cleaning solution scent. Thankfully, we had the Thai Teas to rely on. Overall, the experience was okay but not memorable. The atmosphere and ambiance were pleasant, but the food didn't quite deliver -- especially considering how Thai cuisine is typically bold, aromatic, spicy, and layered. For us, the dishes leaned either too sour or too bland, without much balance in between. Given the prices, we were expecting more depth and stronger flavors. Not a terrible experience, but not one we'd rush back for either.

We got a bunch of things including the hibachi (steak and shrimp), Tomiyama chicken, pad Thai, and spring rolls. While everything was just mid, I have to call out the pad Thai and spring rolls. The pad Thai was so incredibly sweet, it tasted of ketchup. The spring rolls were definitely frozen, I could taste freezer in every bite. The sushi was ok, probably the best of everything. The hibachi chef was also very nice and did a great job with the "show". I have to say - the place was not clean either. I know it was probably busier than usual due to Eid, but everything was a little dirty - from dishes to the table to the thing you get your check in, they all had something gross on it. We were able to flag the staff down at some point to clean the table and dishes, but it still felt gross. Super disappointing experience.

Not a single thing forgotten. A+ for organization. Chicken Pho: Loaded with tender chicken, flavorful broth, and enough liquid gold left over to sip the next day like a cozy little leftover gift.

Beef Drunken Noodles (Medium Heat): I ordered "medium" and they actually gave me medium--not "let us burn TF out of your mouth". Perfect balance. Again, the tiny foodie gave it 2 thumbs up!

I placed my order by phone and drove to the restaurant to pick it up. After getting home, I discovered that I had been given the wrong item. I called the restaurant to explain what happened, and instead of receiving an apology and an effort to immediately make things right, the young lady I spoke with came across as defensive. I then had to make another trip back to the restaurant because of their mistake. When I arrived, I asked for the manager's name and was not provided with it. I also asked for the owner's name and was told they would not give me that information. They did remake my order, but incredibly, the replacement was also incorrect. I specifically requested that the Pad Thai be prepared without onions, yet the replacement contained onions. So because of one takeout order, I had to drive home, discover the mistake, call the restaurant, drive back, deal with an unnecessarily defensive response, and then receive another order that still did not follow my instructions. Mistakes happen in restaurants. What separates good businesses is how management handles those mistakes. This situation was handled poorly from beginning to end. At this point, I am requesting a full refund. I should not have to pay for an order that was incorrectly prepared twice and resulted in a complete waste of my time.
