Head chef Nalee Phommachanh had the vision alongside owner (and sister-in-law) Vilay Sysavath. The family- run business offers a diverse and authentic Southeast Asian menu, a quarterly rotating chef specials menu with paired rotating drinks, and a full-service bar with specialty Soju-based cocktails and other Asian-fusion beverages. My wife and I were in Rochester for a thrift show and wanted to grab some lunch. We love Vietnamese, pho is one of my favorite foods, so we decided to give them a try and we were glad we did. The restaurant is small and jam packed full of tables, but we were still able to be sat and given menus immediately around 2PM on a Saturday. We decided to order a bunch of things and share them. Obviously, we got a bowl of pho, along with an order of egg rolls, a chicken lemongrass plate, and a couple of Thai teas. Our food took a bit to come, but it was pretty busy, and we were very happy with our food. Everything was delicious. The grilled chicken from the platter had awesome lemongrass flavor, the pho's broth was flavorful, the egg rolls were absolutely amazing, and the portions were huge - we had plenty to take home afterwards. Employees were friendly, prices were comparable to similar restaurants. We'd definitely go again if in the area.

I normally like SEA and have picked up lunch from their Mt. Hope location a number of times. I've…read moreonly had a couple of minor issues--being given the wrong order, mostly--but I was not really pleased with the customer service in addressing these. They remade my correct order, but never offered a refund or even discount to make up for their mistake and the fact that I hade to drive back there from my office after discovering I had the wrong meal. Today I got my usual order (stir fried rice noodles with pork and veggies) and drove back to my office. I got a few bites in and found a fly in my meal. I had to pack it back up, leave the office, and drive back to the restaurant. I showed them the fly, and they were apologetic, but only offered to remake my meal OR give me a refund. Given that I was very hungry and didn't have much of my lunch hour left, I told them to remake it. I dis tell them that I felt they should give me a refund and remake the meal, but they said that they could not do that. I had to sit and wait for them to make me new food, and the only other thing they were willing to do for me was give me an iced coffee (which, for the record, was disgusting). I don't know that I will be going back, which is unfortunate because it is one of my preferred lunch spots. The customer service is just horrible.

Happily, the menu looks familiar and I ordered my favorite- the Thai Curry Chicken dish. I love the fresh taste of the vegetables and chicken and sauce, and I mix the rice in and it makes for a very filling lunch. The new location is pretty good too. They have a small parking lot outside and then one across a small street. There's also street parking. Bea still runs the restaurant as she has for 4 decades in Rochester. The food is spectacular and the ambience isn't bad- some lower 4 top tables and some hightop connected tables in a long row. Service was quick and pleasant. You can't go wrong if you like Vietnamese/Thai/Asian fusion dishes.

The inside was clean but the AC was barely noticeable on such a hot day. Waitress came over with water and an iPad for ordering then didn't show up for another 10+ minutes. I finally walked everything over the the counter to get her attention and placed my order. I started with the fresh veggie spring rolls. These were just ok. The dipping sauce was quite spicy, and even with that they tasted pretty bland. No discernible herbs in the rolls at all, just some tofu, carrot, & lettuce. For my entree I got a vegan banh mi. It came out warm and the baguette was crunchy, if a bit dense. Again, very little fresh veg on it which is usually the highlight of a banh mi. There was a few pieces of iceburg lettuce (unheard of on a banh mi!) and one or two sprigs of cilantro, along with the same sauce from the fresh spring rolls. It was a bit disappointing but at least it filled my belly. Couldn't find the waitress to ask for more water or napkins, so I made do with what I had. I'd eat here again if I really had to, but I'd prefer to try elsewhere.

I wasn't sure if it was reheated or due to the lack of experienced diners, who thought the redness near the bone on a pouched chicken was "raw". Not only was the chicken not served with ginger and scallion sauce, it was drizzled with soy sauce. I didn't taste the chicken flavor in the chicken rice either. Usually it's paired with the Hainese chicken. The mango chicken was too sweet, according to my husband and son. The roti canai was decent, but it had beef or pork in it. Previously, I've only had chicken in the sauce. With only 2 other seatings taken, we were sat next to a mom group of chatty 4 women. They were loud enough for our table not to bother speaking. When I go out with my girlfriends, we usually ask for a table in to corner or back, as to not bother other customers. We don't live in the area and only stopped by for a college open house.
