    Thin rice noodles with spoon XO sauce, shrimp, corn, and lettuce
    Tiffany H.

    I created my own bowl of noodles with thin rice noodles, spoon XO sauce, shrimp, corn, and lettuce. The Spoon XO sauce is a great mix of spicy and garlic. I wish there was either more sauce or more soupy because I felt the rice noodles absorbed most of the liquid and it became very clumped together. Restaurant seems to be more of takeout-based. There are limited seating and the dish comes in plastic container, which makes it easy to take home afterwards, though not the most eco-friendly.

    Popped in for a quick lunch at recommendation of family. I didn't realize before coming that it wasn't a sit-down service which isn't a problem. The menu had several great looking items and I was excited to have a build-your-bowl. Prices are quite reasonable. When the food came out, we first were surprised that the dishes were plastic / aluminum despite choosing dine-in. My bowl had Curry Lava (with friend egg) and Lo Mein Noodles. Overall I was not really impressed with the food. The flavors were just alright though the portion was large. They placed all the chicken on top of the noodles and soup, which was only slightly seasoned. The scurry sauce had a little bit of sweetness to it which I found strange. My thoughts are this place caters most to college students and for them is fine. But having traveled to Thailand several times the food here doesn't come close to being authentic.

    Pork Bun (it's like a fried Banh Bao)
    LeAn H.

    Thank you Yelp for saving me when I'm told to pick a new spot for lunch!! haha I came across this earlier this week when I was looking for something to warm me up. It hasn't been a full week and I've already gone twice. I checked out their website before heading over here and saw that this is similar to JKogi or Chipotle. You can order the base (noodles or rice), with a protein (chicken, seafood, pork, etc.) and then with toppings. This also has appetizers for you to choose from as well. I don't know about you guys, but I sort of don't like having too many options, especially for my first trip. I'm the kind of person that likes to order a dish (as is) and just go with the flow haha. For my first trip here, We decided to try the pork bun - which honestly was a fried Vietnamese Bao Bun, cut in half, and sprinkle of Sriracha. It was pretty tasty. I wish I could say that I enjoyed it more, but I honestly think I've been freezing at my work office I was looking forward to my main entree. I was ready to pick my plate, but I saw on their special's board of some of their bowls. I usually never turn down a pho bowl, but I saw their "Curry Lover" and was instantly sold! It didn't take too long before the orders came out. It smelt fantastic! I came out with half a slice of a hard-boiled egg (cooked to perfection) with an amazing tasty (and a kickass spice) curry sauce, 4 pieces of shrimp tempura, and noodles base with sliced onions and beansprouts. OMG - I cannot express enough how fantastic this dish was. Afterward, we would take our bowls to go throw out. They did have a recycling container next to the trash so that was pretty nice to see that they are environmentally friendly. It was so good that I ended up coming back (after 2 days) to get a bowl for myself and my coworker. He's a foodie like me and I praised it to him. He requested for a curry lover dish as well. I actually called and order take out instead because I was on an errand lunch break today. I decided on their Gua Bao which is more of mini sliders with pork belly slices and (again) their awesome curry lover dish. They said that my order should be ready within 5-10 mins getting off of the phone! Be sure to be familiar with the street parking. Since I was just grabbing and going, I was able to park in front of the restaurant with no problem - even during the lunch rush hour (around 12:30ish). They packed it well and even after another 30 mins, and bringing it back into the office it was still warm! My coworker at his right up and agreed that the dish was fantastic and told me to let him know the next time I go there again! haha. Overall, the dine-in experience was just as good as my take out. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is pretty cute and plenty of seats to choose from. I'm interested to see if people are going to eat outside since they also have an outdoor patio/seating area. I'm pretty sure that the curry lover dish is and will always be my go-to dish whenever I visit here again.

    Pad Thai style lo main, crab Rangoon, and egg rolls
    Emily C.

    Omg! I am in Richmond visiting family and there's nooooot much in the fridge. I ordered spoon because it looked like a modern twist on Asian fusion. I got the crab Rangoon, egg rolls, Tom yum with chicken, and the special lo mein noodles with pad Thai seasoning. Wow I am blown away. The Rangoon are mostly crab and so light and delicately wrapped. The egg rolls are tiny and cute but you get 3 per order. Both come with a generous portion of duck sauce. The Tom yum soup is not pictured because it was so good, it didn't last long enough for me to even THINK to take a photo. The noodles are perfect. I've always loved the FLAVOR of pad Thai but the thin noodles stick together and turn into a big glob, in my opinion, so the lo main noodles made a huge impact on the dish. I can't wait to try more on their menu. Door dash had it here way before it was predicted. 5 out of 5. If you're thinking about it, just order now.

    Crab Rangoon
    Annesha S.

    Because of Omicron, I got this delivered. I ordered the crab rangoons and the unagi bowl. Let's get the bad out of the way first: I was pretty disappointed with the rangoons, even though they had surprisingly large flakes of crab, and were crispy. Instead of cream cheese, they used cheddar, resulting in kind of a mealy, chewy texture which is not what I want when I order rangoons. The unagi bowl was also a bit underdressed, but the Unagi itself was delicious, flaky and tender, perfectly seasoned in a classic eel sauce. The vegetables were fresh. The rice was also well-cooked and satisfying. Overall, I probably wouldn't visit this restaurant again. But it got the job done for today.

    I do not recall this dish but it was yummy.
    Celeena S.

    We came here on a spontaneous decision and I don't regret it. The place is very quaint, casual, and homey. There are a couple of tables and a desk cashier where you order your food. The food itself was good. It is advertising asian fusion and so I believe they lived up to the concept. There are an array of dishes from noodles to soup. I got the pho and I enjoyed it well. It is simple foods with flavor which I really appreciate. They had chicken wings which were tasty and an assortment of other appetizers. They also offer boba, I got the Thai ice tea and it tasted great. Overall, this is a great place for a stop in, casual affair, or quick trip. The cashier was very kind and I think it is a great addition to the area. I would come back.

    Vegetarian build your own bowl!
    Paige S.

    This place was so delicious! We went on a weeknight when it wasn't super busy, and the food was prepared so quickly. I got a build your own noodle bowl with tofu, roasted garlic, mint, peanut sauce, and noodles! Absolutely wonderful - and we also got a chocolate mocha boba which was also lovely! I highly recommend going here. It wasn't too expensive either.

    Spoon bowl
    Menghai T.

    Had the the Spoon bowl and it was pretty good. The only thing I didn't really like was that the sauce felt very sugary. Besides that, there is a nice patio outside to eat your food. Pretty decent spot.

    Basil fried rice with chicken
    Dakiesh C.

    Whewww , spicy ! 1st words as I ordered the Basil Fried rice (spicy) with chicken! It is delicious & spicy just how I like it. Alil nose drip lol. 1st time going we got it to go , since dine-in is an option I will be returning to eat in. This place is spot on good for my first impression & it's right near home. In heaven

    Gua Bao and Pork Bun and Thai pink milk

    I got the gua bao (contains peanuts) and it was really good especially with sriracha sauce on the side. I also got the pork bun and it was fine. For a drink, I got the thai pink milk and couldn't really taste the thai flavor- pretty much just tasted like strawberry milk. Appetizers are a little pricey for small amount but still good quality.

I noticed a discrepancy between the amount on my receipt and what was actually charged to my card. It may have only been a small difference, but that's not acceptable under any circumstance. A dollar here or there adds up, and it raises real concerns when it appears to be a pattern. I had intentionally left a cash tip to ensure it went directly to my server, not through the business. Fortunately, I kept my receipt after hearing about similar situations happening before. When my statement came in, the charge didn't match. I called the restaurant to resolve the issue, and the floor manager said someone from management or accounting would follow up. Over a week later, I never received a call. I ended up disputing the charge with my bank. What should have been a nice Friday night dinner ended on a frustrating note. Unfortunately, that's what made the experience memorable--and not in a good way.
