Their lunch special comes with fried rice and soup and I got the hot and sour soup and the best one I had in a LONG TIME!! Even their sweet and sour sauce was good but u have to ask for it for your egg roll and the chili oil is upon request which I get it!!! Times are hard and everything isn't cheap so I wouldn't want people wasting it. My uncle got the won ton soup and he said it tastes fresh also!!! I got the schezuan chicken which was good too but if I had to pick I would have just got what my uncle got and that's the Mala delights!!! The jalapeños in it were cooked good and spicy and fresh which I love also!!! I hate undercooked jalapeños!!! They have Chinese food and Vietnamese food also but next time I'm gonna try another Malaysian dish maybe the chili crabs that I seen they look good too!!! The service was great they stayed on top of everything!!! Food came out fast and everything was hot!! Don't let the older building turn u away cause it's clean and u will miss out on good food and service!!!!

They also said anyone who doesn't try it is missing out... wish I would have gone with the Vietnamese dishes. Everything tasted fresh. The sauce for the orange chicken had little to no flavor. The cheese puffs were ok, I wouldn't order them again. The egg roll was a little better. Fresh, crunchy and good flavor. The dipping sauce, not so good. The shrimp were super over cooked. Barely had any flavor and the texture was very tough. Crunchy outside shell though. The dumplings were not the best and the dipping sauce also not good. Since my hotel is minutes away, I will come back for some pho and spring rolls

We stopped in and were overwhelmed by the menu. There were only 2 others dining but we decided to go ahead and order. The place was clean but there was a major concern: the silverware is placed on the tables in a stainless steel holder and it seemed unsanitary. Also, I hated the napkins. Now the food: the menu is absolutely overwhelming. From soup to baos to plenty of appetizers to bahn mis to pho to beef and chicken dishes, it's a little too much. I will say there might be something for everyone. My mom has the sizzle beef. It was oddly chewy. The bell peppers were great and the rice was perfectly cooked. However, it was served on lettuce and tomato which didn't add to the dish at all. Solid 2.5/5. I got a bulgogi bahn mi and it was tiny but exactly what I would go for at a Vietnamese restaurant. I paid $11.50 for it (added an egg) and that was brutally priced. We got the loaded fries and they were so underwhelming. No flavor at all from the fries and bulgogi...the egg didn't add anything either. I would give it a 1.5/5. There were a ton of people coming in and grabbing to-go orders for delivery services and I believe most of them ordered the pho. I think that's where we messed up. For $51, it was quite a lackluster experience. The customer service was great but I don't think I'll be back.

I really wish I took a picture... my boyfriend and I were laughing it was almost comical. Maybe 5-6 little pieces of beef & the rest was grilled onion. Huge amount of vermicelli noodles & shredded lettuce... just barely 4 bites actually had meat. We also got a braised pork dish which was much better but still very small portion of meat. Taste was good but improvement needed on cheeping out with the meats.

What was meant to be a quick lunch stop in Bastrop turned into an ordeal my kids had to witness. When the surprise charge appeared, I asked our waitress where the policy was disclosed. She didn't know. Neither did her colleagues. When I asked to see it posted, a staff member threatened to call the police on us for asking. We finally reached the owner by phone, who pointed to fine print on the menu cover that his own staff didn't know existed. If you're dining here with a group, ask about the auto-gratuity before you order -- and decide whether you want to give your business to a place that threatens to call the cops on customers for a reasonable question.

This is my choice when it comes to getting Vietnamese food. Its on the way back home after work…read more Its an easy stop. I also order on DOOR DASH and then do a pick up. Ive done it by ordering their Cha Gio deep fried egg roll and Spring Rolls with Shrimp. It was ready when I got there. Occassionally I do make a trip here after work to dine in. I like buying their Mix vermicelli dish that comes with bbq pork, shrimp kabob, veggies and the vermicelli noodles. It's my favorite with their side sauce. This is what I always buy when I am here. Ive tried other places and I dont enjoy it as much as it is from here. I havent tried their Pho yet. One of these I will try it.

I have them hold the pork blood though. The Bahn Xeo crispy and filled with savory pork, shrimp, squid, and bean sprouts. This is another dish you should not miss here.

This really hit the spot and satisfied my pho craving after the winter storm. I'm so glad they were open because this meal saved my life. I'm a changed person. The vibe is very classic pho spot and took me back to my favorite pho restaurant at home. The workers were also very sweet and attentive and we got our food super quick. Like really quick. I got their large number 1 pho and the large is a very generous portion. The bowl was as big as my head. But the meat cuts were so soft and chewy and the broth tasted amazing. My pet peeve is when pho noodles are too soggy or soft but these were perfect.

Imagine going to a Vietnamese takeout and ordering your meal like you're at a Chipotle where you…read moreget to create your own bowl and/or banhmi. For the bowl, you select the base of rice, salad, vermicelli noodles and you can order half/half rice and salad, select your protein like beef, chicken or pork, select your veggies and drizzle of dressings. Since it was my first time visiting, I opt to get the dressings on the side so that I can try different dressings. I've ordered the pork banhmi and rice bowl and the beef rice bowl. Out of the three, I liked the beef most because of the more tender sliced meat. The bread was too soft for my liking and I wished it was a bit more like a baguette. The rice bowl is definitely better than the banhmi. Good customer service. Water cup is available on the counter.

I added carrots, cucumbers, fried onions, and cilantro. They have a few sauces you can also add, but decided on the spicy mayo sauce. This reminds me a lot like Chipotle where you select the toppings. The place itself had some seating and a drink refill station. The bread was not made the way I like it a soft and flaky baguette bread but it was edible. My kids had ordered the rice bowl and they said tasted fine but nothing spectacular. Overall, you have to try this yourself and judge whether its good or not. Its definitively a different take on the traditional Vietnamese dishes.
