We ordered the XO shrimp, spicy kumin lamb stir fry, and pork belly bao. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food comes out quick.

“I used to go here all the time for my lunch break when I just graduated college and found a job around the area in 2020. The service and food was just amazing and unforgettable. The ladies that work there are some of the most kindest and warm-hearted people that I’ve ever met. It feels like home there even though I lived 100 miles away from my actual home. They’re definitely popular and many locals definitely eat here regularly because the food and service is top notch. The food is very delicious. I really like their noodle soup dishes like pho, and bun bo hue; I tried level 10 spiciness for the bun bo hue, and it was very difficult to eat because of how spicy it was! It was probably most spiciest soup that I’ve ever had. If you like spicy soups, definitely give it a try, but beware of how spicy it is! Their rice dishes are also very good. If you prefer to eat healthy, there are plenty of healthy options here that taste amazing. The portion sizes for the food here are generous, and the serving is just right. They also give Viet candy afterwards which is a really nice touch of dessert. I really miss this place, and I plan on visiting again some day. It’s been 2 years now. I hope everything is going well.“

“I have ordered Door Dash from here before and found the food to be plentiful, hot, and very tasty. I finally had the opportunity to eat here in person. I ordered the lunch special of szechwan string beans. For less than $20 I not only received a large portion of green beans, but a big scoop of fried rice, egg drop soup, marinated cucumbers, a cheese wonton, a spring roll, a sliced orange, and the obligatory fortune cookie.The service from Angela was swift and very sweet. The owner greeted me and wished me a pleasant day on my way out, asking me to return. I will definitely take him to on that offer soon.By the way, there is a free parking area behind the little shopping center, making eating here very convenient.“

“I went in for lunch today based on their reviews. I ordered the spicy chicken from the lunch menu and asked for it to be made medium spicy. It was quite good. And a good value for portion size. Unfortunately, although I like spicy food.It was a little to spicy even for me . Next time maybe I should order it mild.“

These noodles were served with lettuce, cucumbers, bean sprouts, mints, pickled carrots and daikon, roasted peanuts and fish sauce. This instance I got it with grilled chicken and egg rolls. Great food all the time!“

“Most of the food was really good. Do not order the chocolate souffle. It's more of a defrosted hockey puck. Shameful that they even tried to serve that when they are known to be a quality restaurant. Then paying at the end was awful. They insisted we use our phones and their QR code. It didn't work for most of us. Geeze McDonald's can do better! I would come here again if my group chooses to but not eat dessert and I would use cash.“

Service was good too, took about ten minutes to get our food which was average. Atmosphere at the Wind Mill Food Hall is great, a must see for first timers as there are many places to choose from!Vegetarian options: Some egg products in a few dishes, make sure you ask!“

They do a lot of take-out and Doordash orders, but not a lot of dine-in, so it is normally a nice, quiet place for lunch. The food arrives quickly if you need a quick lunch, but there is never a rush to leave.“

Some of my favorite dishes are the Kung Pao chicken, crispy shrimp with firecracker sauce, and grilled teriyaki chicken and vegetables (when I want something that feels a little lighter). I also add some chicken egg rolls and cream cheese wontons to my order. The portion size is pretty big and I like the convenience of the plates it comes in. Sometimes it’s my lunch and sometimes it’s my lunch and dinner :)“

“The food here is great, but I'm basing my review entirely on the service.This was my first time going for a rather large dinner order for my family.Lupe and Angie were extremely kind and helpful with my order. I've never used the app before, but they walked me through its features and reward program--all while readying my large order at the same time. They really went above and beyond to help me; the service was quick (not rushed) and friendly. I've never met them before, but they made me feel like we were good friends. You can just tell they're both caring and helpful people. Honestly, it was a a refrshing experience and far beyond the normal level of service you'd get anywhere else. They deserve a raise for sure!Like I said, the food is great; but I'd go back for their top tier service alone. Thanks again for your help and friendly service ladies!“

The Dan Dan noodles were enough spice for me and I couldn't get enough. We also ordered about 10 other dishes and shared family style. The place easily accommodated for our party of 12.“
