Great food. Great environment. Great service. My lunch companion said if he was dying and could only have one last meal, he would order it from here! We are from out of town and now I want to have a reason to come to Newton just to eat here! You have a gem - enjoy it! The "small" pho was quite large and I took a whole soup container home with me. The spring rolls were the longest and fullest I've ever had and the sauce served with it was so good I put it on my egg rolls, too! read more

We've gone here several times and generally like it every time. Today just really hit the spot. We were on the great glass Easter egg hunt of Newton and stopped for lunch. The café is positioned in an old historical building. It makes great use of the space. We like the seating arrangement and found a booth style seating we really enjoyed. The music isn't too loud but lends to the mood. There's a kind young man who's been there the last several times. He's so respectful and attentive to the customers. Their menu is newer looking than the last time we were in and it looks really good. I always enjoy their pad Thai or their drunken noodles. Wifey got a taro milk tea today and it was the best ever. We also had lettuce wraps with chicken for an appetizer. It tasted so bright and so fresh! She's also kind of addicted to the yellow curry soup and you can see why. It's so good and comforting. We highly recommend coming here!! read more

A gem to have nearby! Service is friendly and quick and the food is flavorful! On this most recent visit we had Spring Rolls (comes with 2 even though there is only one in my picture), Pho with beef, and the Pad Kra Pao. Portions are generous and I always want to try more! read more

I got the Vietnamese Stir Fried Noodles (Mi Xao) with beef and it was pretty good! The portions were huge for a great price. The ambiance was nice but there was a sad music instrumental playing on the TVs that put a sad mood on the meal. The service was fast and we received our meal quickly after ordering. read more

Viet-Thai Taste - Vietnamese Stir Fried Noodles (Mi Xao) Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Newton, Iowa

This is a great surprise in a small Iowa town. I had shrimp puffs that were great with wonderful flavor. They could have been cooked a few minutes longer as the shrimp wasn't hot. The Vietnamese noodles were good. I liked the texture of the egg noodle and haven't had that in any other Thai food. I didn't think this dish had as much flavor but it was still good. Spicy level 4 gave me tears for the entire meal and that is not a complaint. I will be back to try other dishes. read more

Good food ...great service! Stopped on a Saturday night & started with spring rolls. Tasty --especially the peanut sauce. I had Angry stir fry & waiter guided me to 1 for heat & boy was he right! My lips were on fire by the time I finished this yummy beef dish. The rice was perfect in the sauce. Hubby had beef noodle stir fry & it was good as well. Very attentive help. read more

What a great little gem in an under served area. I was in town for a week for work without a car and was totally saved by this place. Service is quick, friendly, and food flies out of the kitchen. There's an outdoor seating area in the back. The restaurant was clean and pleasant but low on general ambiance. Honestly, it doesn't need it. The food speaks for itself. Dishes are authentic and delicious. The yellow curry is more of a soup with just the right amount of heat. I also really enjoyed the stir fried noodles. My friends quickly became addicted to the crab rangoons, while I opted for the spring rolls. Both very tasty. The pho and pad Thai also got high marks. Portions are large and reheated well. Last call for dine in is 7:30/7:45 as they close at 8. Closed on Sundays. No liquor license but they have boba drinks and Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee. I wish I'd taken pictures but I was hungry. read more

Best salad ever!!!! Really good food would recommend really good staff they are really nice. come here if you don't know what to eat!!

Ming, owner?, and Don, the chef, did a GREAT job and the cuisine was amazing!!! The Spring Rolls were out of this world. I got the chicken with rice meal. One in my party ordered Pad Thai. My eleven-year-old daughter ordered Beef Pho. Another in my party ordered a salad plate that he will order again. Great value. The cuisine is spot on, and Ming and Don were glowing in smiles following my compliments which they deserve because they are pouring their heart and soul into this nourishing and delicious food service! read more

Never received my food and the restaurant couldn't help me with the delivery service they use. So I paid for something I never received and both the delivery service and the restaurant get paid. Thanks read more

Amazing food and server was above and beyond friendly and helpful the whole time. He was the only server and kept everyone happy!

Wow. That was great! We moved from a city with a vibrant Vietnamese/Thai/Laos community and thought we were out of luck in this region for a great Vietnamese food experience. But we were wrong and found another new favorite! The Beef Larb salad was tasty and fresh. The Angry Fever pork and shrimp stir fry at 5/5 spicy was and . We also had the Pad Thai and Banh Mi sandwiches. All were fantastic. The staff and chef were really friendly and accommodating--for example, not using any sugar in the Larb salad. So glad this restaurant is in the area! read more

We ordered to go and the food was done within 10 minutes. Generous portions. Lots of different vegetables. read more

We got our 1st taste of our town's new cuisine. We are excited to have them here and wish them continued success. We tried them on their 2nd day of their soft opening. Please be patient with them while they work out their process. We loved the flavors they brought and will definitely be returning to try the other menu items. We felt it was a bit on the pricier side and do understand the cost of fresh ingredients. The inside is spacious, all though, due to Covid, we got ours to go. They did have plenty of space between the tables. We hope this place becomes a new staple for our town. read more

One of the healthier options in Newton. Food is decent. Restaurant is clean. However, if you plan on eating here, show up an hour before posted closing time. We arrived at 7:30 and the restaurant was about at 1/4 capacity with customers. We were told, "sorry, we close at 8:00. We can't seat you." Seriously, if you plan on being out of the restaurant at a certain time, adjust the posted hours to make it happen, don't pretend you're open for business when you plan on cleaning. read more

Best potstickers and Rangoon that I've ever had. Especially for a small town kind of place, I would recommend it 100%. Staff was very friendly, food was served in a quick and efficient manner, really nice venue. Comfortable and casual and won't break the bank. Sushi rolls were delicious and very well done with lots of good stuff, not just a rice wrap with a spec of filling. Angry Fever stir fry was amazing as well, portion sizes are generous! And bonus patio during the summer! read more

The food is decent, but the last 3 times we've ordered carry out they have forgotten something we've ordered. Not a special request, just a normal menu item. First time was pot stickers, then crab rangoons, then a soup. So make sure if you order to go you check it carefully. read more

I had heard good things about this place, kinda of hard to find thru Google but they are a brick building will outdoor seating in front. Lots of parking available. The potstickers were great as well as the cab Rangoon . We chose the hot pot for 2 and OMG IT WAS AWESOME plus we had leftovers for the next day. The staff was so nice, it was clean and neat. Bonus if tyou pay in cash you get a discount. read more

As Newton IA doesn't have any really good restaurants, I had this would be a stand out place but it's not. I eaten here 4 times now and I hate to say it but the Chinese food at the Hyvee grocery store is better. My wife is Filipina and has been to Thailand and Vietnam multiple times and she won't allow us to eat here again. This is not a true taste of either Vietnam nor Thailand. The 2 stars I gave it is because the staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. read more

My family and I love it here! Food is delicious, staff are always friendly and professional and place is nice and clean with a lot of seating! read more

We tried this place last year & said we would not go back.... But we did. The waiter was friendly but we did have to wait a bit to get our bill. The spring rolls are very fresh. I had a curry soup that was yummy. There was a generous amount of tofu in the dish. We also ordered a spicy dish, which was perfectly spicy! Would recommend. read more

Great spot to get a good bowl of pho. I also love their crab rangoons! I love how quiet the environment is in the building and how open it is. Conversation won't overlap or be heard if having a date night. They are quick to get you your food and are super nice people. We've ordered delivery through doordash and everything comes in good containers and fresh and hot. read more

Who knew that the best Thai food outside of Thailand would be in Iowa?! Passing through and decided to try this place based on reviews. If you like Thai food, make a point to stop here. If you're not sure if you like Thai food, make a point to stop here. If you're not crazy about Thai food, make a point to stop here because you haven't had Thai food like this. Outstanding! read more

Friendly and helpful staff. Crab Rangoon's are tasty. Our table had several different dishes which were filling and tasty. The old telephone booth outside is a photo opportunity:) read more

Delicious I love this place I always have great service and great food. My wife craved it all the time while she c was pregnant.

Super friendly service, and the food is on point. Egg rolls and yellow curry soup are my favorites--enough curry for three meals. These angry shrimp is good and spicy! read more

amazing food, huge portions and good prices. way better than eating fast food while on the road. great service too. highly recommend.

An absolute gem of a restaurant! It's a twenty minute drive for us, but worth traveling a lot farther to visit. Fresh, authentic food, cooked and presented quickly by a friendly staff, at a very reasonable price. Go out of your way to eat there if you ever get anywhere Newton, Iowa. read more

I ordered a side of veggies and asked for them to cook it in their stir fry sauce. I ended up getting steamed veggies with salt and pepper on the side. When I went to cook the veggies myself, I proceeded to find a long hair wrapped up in the veggies. I ended up throwing my meal away, such a waste of money and food. read more

Nothing special! The service was okay and food was awful and full of MSG taste.definitely not a good place to go.

Excellent atmosphere. Dishes were well prepared. Pot stickers are not homemade though. Still good! Service was well done! read more

The place is filthy, I did like the food and the service, however over time the place has become very dirty.

This is definitely a hidden gem! The first time I came i had their pho with shrimp and it was SO GOOD! The broth was clear and flavorful and the shrimp were large and delicious! I highly recommend this place! read more

I wish I could give this place a 6th star I don't know what was better, the food or the AMAZING WAITER! The man had our entire table in tears from laughing so hard! (I think he works weekends if you want to go have a great time!) read more

Went during the afternoon to try something new, I really enjoyed how savory our meals were here. Definitely will be stopping there again in the future! read more

I love the Pho & the pot stickers & well...everything! Fast, friendly service. Love having this choice in Newton.

I'm not usually inspired to leave reviews, but this place is amazing--from food to service to ambiance. A vegetarian oasis! We had the drunken noodles and Vietnamese omelet. Top. Notch. read more
