    Bland, tasteless "spicy" wings.  Where's the sauce? Where's the flavor? Absolute disgust!
    Steff S.

    DO NOT EAT HERE! There's a reason the rating is god awful. I tried to give them a chance and all I got was disrespect, pushy terrible service (actually lack of any) and greasy tasteless food! I waited over 25 minutes for some "spicy chicken wings" that should only take 10 minutes to cook if that. I came home with the order to open a greasy box of fried sauce-less wings with no spice or flavor whatsoever! I called the restaurant to explain my frustrations and all the lady did was argue! I asked for a refund and she hung up on me. I called back and they hung up again. Is that how you operate a business? Disgust, disrespect, and bland food? Let me tell you..the customer is NOT always right but you should try to respect their opinion. We are not children at your dinner table. If you want to try some bland Chinese food brought to you by the worst service in the East Valley by all means pull up a chair to this hole in the wall. I'm sure their doors will be closing soon.

    I have been coming here since I was little. My family always get take out. The food is always so good and always made to order. Today I ate in and the store is basic but really clean and refreshing. They have a cute fish tank that is also really clean. The TV isn't overly loud and they have the news playing, which is nice. Best Chinese food in Gilbert! I got the orange chicken combo with a large drink for less than $9.00!! Amazing.

    Sweet and sour chicken and beef chow mein

    My fiancé always wants to try new food. Tonight he had a craving and found we had this restaurant close to our home. In my opinion it was the worst food I have ever tasted. My fiancé also felt the same way. I got sweet and sour chicken and beef chow mein the beef in the chow mein was very chewy that I couldn't even fully chew it and swallow it. The noodles were very sticky as if they were left in water and dried. The fried rice (if that's what you would call it) was regular rice but was stuck together. No flavor at all. Very unhappy with this place and will not be returning. Spending $24.00 on 2 plates that had to be tossed. Very disappointing.

    Great pancakes!…read more Breakfast here was a win. I ordered nothing but pancakes. Buttermilk pancakes and Chocolate Chip pancakes. So so good. They were fluffy, smokin' hot, and beautifully plated. These pancakes are huge too. The plate of pancakes come as a stack of 3. I had a single chocolate chip and added one of the buttermilk pancakes to it and that was still plenty. The server and hostess were very nice and the atmosphere was quiet. I'll be back for lunch :)

    This place was surprisingly bad about accommodating my soy intolerance. I called in advance and was…read moretold they cook most things in a canola/olive oil blend, which is good for me. When I got there and ordered, I told the waitress about my intolerance and ordered a salad with chicken. When my food came out, I was told my salad didn't have chicken because I couldn't eat the chicken, or any other meat in the restaurant, because they coat it in Pam spray (soybean oil). For a place that prides itself on making their own dressings, etc., you'd think they could've figured out how to cook chicken in an oil that they use for everything else. Perhaps if they'd communicated better about my intolerance instead of not thinking about it until immediately when my food was ready (which was quite a while after we ordered), they could've found someone in the restaurant who was capable of making non-vegetarian food with something other than soy spray, but I may be giving them too much credit. They also didn't offer us a high chair for our toddler, which was strange. He wound up doing fine in the booth, which was for the best because a high chair probably wouldn't have fit well where we were sitting anyway. The waitress was apologetic and nice about my food screw up and offered to make me something else, but there wasn't much that could be done given that apparently no one in the restaurant knows how to cook meat without soy spray, plus we'd already waited quite a while for our food. The beet salad was tasty, as was the bread with honey butter and the Chai latte, but I would've left feeling more full if I could've added meat to my salad.

Service 5/5 We are back to see the owner and Chef- Tom. Tom greeted us immediately and brought us to our table where our server Mina joined us. Mina introduced herself asked about drinks and starters. Ordered Thai tea, pork belly. Mina left to allow more time for selection review. Food 5/5 Order consisted of two Thai Tea (one for the road), two Pork Belly Thai style (one to go), small vegetable soup, Pad Kee Mao Thai Hot, Vegetable yellow curry (to go). Thai Tea was nice as usual. Next visit I'll order Thai Coffee. Pork Belly Thai style is amazing here. Soft flavorful inside with a light pan fried crunch outside. Vegetable soup is delicious. The broth has the DNA of a French Onion soup which was nothing short of amazing. Unexpected. The Pad Kee Mao is my favorite here. Nice use of fresh Vegetables lightly pan fried leaving a crispy bite which contrasts beautifully with the wide rice noodles texture. The diced multi colored peppers, onions, carrot sliver flavors are present in every bite. Complex, yes! I ordered take home for lunch. Vegetable Yellow curry lunch was delicious. Tom tonight everything was on point. I truly enjoy your cooking! Enjoy amazing fresh Thai food by Chef Tom my friends-SYOY!

The mac & cheese is some of the best I've ever had! I also feel like it's a little healthier than some other spots. We went for lunch around 12:30p so it was pretty busy but they did a really good job at seating us. Usually you take a table number after you order and sit down but since it was so busy, they made sure there was seating available before ordering since the food comes out so quickly. Always really friendly staff. Some of the seating is a little close, especially in the middle of the restaurant where the smaller 2 person tables are but there are plenty of other seats, as well as outdoor seating.

Food was good, although it seemed like they gave me the smallest piece and the only reason I didn't take a picture was because they gave a decent amount of mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese, and it was cooked medium like I asked. I went to dessert - ate a bite and thought the muffin was tasty so took another bite and felt a crunch and pulled out a small piece of stringy plastic. I looked at the muffin and there was a piece sticking out so I pulled it out and was deterred in eating the muffin. Today is my birthday so it's obnoxious I wasted it here. I noticed the price on the entree meal went up from like 15 to 18, so that's dumb too - not worth it. Why do I come back? Because by now I'd hope y'all would get your shit together but y'all consistently mess up.

Their tarragon ranch dressing was perfect with the mixed greens, the grape tomatoes, pepitas, and bacon crumbles...such a good salad! We shared their popular short ribs (they charged $2 for plate share) which were cooked to tender perfection and served over a creamy white bean puree. Delicious for sure! We finished with some of their Black Forest Cake which was the bomb! Tender, moist chocolate cake rounds with the best tasting whip that has vanilla bean in it and then some great cherry jam to set it all off. What a great meal!

We ordered the Stir-Fried Seafood & Vegetables with Crispy Egg Noodles (minus the seafood) and Pho Tai. Food Quality: 4/5 Both dishes were good, nicely presented, and came out quickly. Nothing that caused me to immediately start planning my next visit, but definitely satisfying. Service: 5/5 Quick, efficient, and attentive without being overbearing. Wait Time: 5/5 No wait. We were seated and ordering quickly. Atmosphere: 4/5 Pleasant and comfortable. There was a steady flow of customers, but it was not packed or eerily empty. Basically, the restaurant had found the sweet spot between "popular" and "please do not make me wonder if I should leave." Portions: 5/5 A lot of food for your money. Neither of us could finish our portions. Price/Value: 4/5 Around $15-$20 per entrée, which felt reasonable considering the portions. Cleanliness: 3/5 This is where the restaurant loses points. There was some noticeable Sriracha splatter on the wall, which gave the décor an interesting "action scene" quality. Unfortunately, the restroom situation was more concerning. My girlfriend reported that the women's restroom toilet was not working and was not clean when she entered, leaving her unable to use it. That is more than a cosmetic issue and something management should address. The Takeaway: Overall, we enjoyed our meals. The food was good, portions were generous, and the service was quick and efficient. The steady customer traffic also gave the place a comfortable, lived-in feel without being overwhelming. My only real criticism is cleanliness, particularly the restroom. A little attention there would go a long way. I do not have a specific dish I would tell you that you have to order, but if you enjoy Vietnamese cuisine, this place is worth giving a try. Would I return? Yes.
