Passing through town landed me here and I was very impressed. I actually bookmarked the location so…read moreI can return on future trips. I'll seperate the review in 4 parts. Food: Phenomenal. I like most food but prefer rice plated meals over soups. I ordered the Yummy Chicken at a 6 spice level. Initially I thought about ordering an extra side of rice but at the end of the meal it was the perfect serving for me. You could split the meal with an extra side of rice if you wanted a lighter lunch. The chicken has a crispness to its outside while still being juicy, followed by a tangy and delicious sauce. Garnished with nuts. Some peppers and onions I believe but simple and well executed. If you enjoy a spicy meal, I would say 6 is the highest I go before you experiance less of the flavor. I'll try an 8 next time but 6 left me happy with the spicy, while not sweating profusely. I didn't feel the need to continuously go to my drink which allowed me to enjoy the flavor while still experiancing that burn. A slice of lime came on the side which I used to garnish. For my water enthusiasts the water was good. If it was tap I couldn't tell. I don't remember the price but it was 11-13 bucks for the meal. Customer Service: Excellent. They added impactful experiance to my day. They were polite, helpful, and very fast. I believe my meal was out within 10minutes around 3:30. 3 other tables being served. They offered recommendations, and the chef actually visited our table to ask how each meal was, even asking if my spice level was okay (they recommended not going over a 5, I chose 6 knowing I am a fan of spicy). The chef also explained how he cooked the chicken when asked. Meal came with silverware and chopsticks. Atmosphere: Very clean. 1st thing I noticed was a clean dining area and maintained tables. Tables were cleared when people left promptly and there is a good spread between high tables, tables, and bar seating. Lighting used natural light from windows, they have overhead lighting as well. No fluorescent lighting that I saw, soft white lights and some colored lights. Where they could improve: I don't believe there was much that needed to be improved on. They seem like they have a good thing going and know what restaurant they want to run. Food was phenomenal, customer service was more friendly and welcoming than any restaurant i've been to lately. They seemed like they wanted to be there and welcomed us there. I don't see this often anymore. Restaurant was in good shape, clean, with good water. Some of the tables were from a "Beef o Brady's" so they could be re-finished or have a table cloth thrown over but that doesn't concern me. I would recommend and will be returning.

The noodles were cooked perfectly--soft but not mushy--and the pork was flavorful and tender. Everything had a really nice balance of savory and fresh flavors. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside with a tasty filling that paired really well with the noodles. I wish there was more meat in the dish. I love the side of sauce that came with it. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were friendly.

We headed over for a cozy dinner but were disappointed by the lack of indoor seating. The cashier had a bit of a strange confused yet also slightly irritated attitude. But she got our orders right so I cant complain much. We ordered two beef pho and shumai. The menu is a bit more "fusion-ey" than just thai and vietnamese. The interior was a very messy, the stores old furniture and boxes scattered about. Finally the food. It was lukewarm by the time we finally got to eat. Very delicious broth, meat was mostly yummy, LOT of fat pieces though. The noodles were... not enjoyable. And there were no bean sprouts! But for pho it makes the minimum mark. The shumai was also pretty good but cold. I like how the food was packaged separately, and the prices were reasonable, the pho bowl was $11. Overall 3 stars

The spice level is spot on, but other than the spice, there's no flavor. There's no crushed peanuts, no mung bean sprouts, and almost no sauce. It's just spicy noodles and chicken with some green onion. If you're a lover of Pad Thai like I am, I would avoid their Pad Thai.
