They always treat me friendly and make amazing food. They listen to me when I want to make slight alterations. I continuously go to eat here.

We went on a Saturday. Gf reservations for our party. We didn't get drinks until almost 40 min later and our food came out over an hour after. Mine was the last one out. Chef dropped my plate so they had to remake mine. Food was really good. I will go back again just maybe not with such a big party. They didn't have the staff to wait on the whole restaurant.

What can I say this was a hole in a wall that we decided to try to satisfy our boiling crab craving and WOW it was delicious, even better than boiling crab in our opinion. Really laid back atmosphere and the service was welcoming and attentive. This is now our spot! We'll be back!

A brand new hole in the wall joint. The man and wife proprietors are friendly and helpful. The service was great. I got the Pho Noodle w/meat, next time I'll try their Pho with shrimp. After that, I'll give the Crawfish a try. My new lunch spot.

We ordered the crab and shrimp combo bag, the garlic edamame, the ramen, chicken tenders and fries, 2 mechaladas and a strawberry smoothie with strawberry popping pearls.Let me begin by saying this is a brand new place and I understand that they’re probably working out the kinks, but the ordering system is kind of confusing not just for me as the customer but apparently for the staff as well. There were only two employees when we at their 6:20 pm Wednesday evening. Unless you have a solid 2 hours to go and have dinner this probably isn’t a place for you.The food was average which was disappointing because my bill was close to 200$ it had potential but the sauce had way too much of a sweet tatter, the garlic was extremely raw and I’m sorry but raw garlic is a vary unappealing taste, the edamame wasn’t cleaned properly it was covered in that fuzzy film on the outer layer and unfortunately the chicken tenders were way over cooked and tasted just like the oil it was fried in. The 2 employees seemed nice enough when I seen them the couple of times but they were extremely overwhelmed and it showed. Which I did find odd because we were the only people there at the time (myself and two small kids). The worst part was we had ordered a smoothie with popping pearls and it literally took 50 minutes and it was made incorrectly. I might return but I’m going to definitely wait a few months so hopefully that will allow them to work out the kinks and not serve people raw garlic.

Started with the calamari which hit the spot. Got the Crawfish and shrimp combo and went with the hot & spicy! Came with corn on the cob, potatoes, & sausage. Finished with the Beef Pho that had nice thick slices of meat. Healthy delicious broth.

We need more local places like this in La Habra. Honest food made the right way with time and care. No msg and all homemade, even the siracha sauce (which taste better than the roster brand). Had beef pho, calimari, and cajun shrimp. The broth was out of this world! No greasy fat floating around the broth, beef was fresh and thick, and best part was I wasnt thirsty or sleepy after because there is no msg. Heard the owner takes 12 hours to create the pho broth and Eggrolls are handmade too not frozen store bought. Honestly best pho and best calamari I had in a long time. Definitely will be coming back. They just opened up, so give them a try. Thank you for your hospitality. Will definitely come back with family and my tennis club members.

So glad this place is close by since boiling crabs are much further out. This isn't exactly boiling crab level but it's not bad! Fresh and spicy. The fries could be crispier.

First time here and I ordered the shrimp bowl to go. I was skeptical about the flavor not being good. However, to my surprise, the bowel was delicious and I really liked the price. The person who helped with my order was amicable and helpful, she also had my order done pretty quickly. The restaurant is small but mighty. Definitely going back to try the crab legs. I didn't have any alcoholic beverages but I did see they have some and other delicious drinks.

We love this place. I can't say enough good things. The food was incredible, perfectly seasoned. We had Micheladas with our order and they were also great. The service was world class! They treated us like family one of the best customer experiences I've had in recent times. We really enjoyed the environment it had a warm, at home feel to it and you just felt welcome. We will definitely be returning on our next date night!

Found this local restaurant driving on Lambert in search of some Asian food with a spicy kick. They finally opened! On the Hook is usually my spot. But. This place just replaced it. I like the Asian kick better than the New Orleans style. I don't like driving to Diamond Bar area lol. I will be back to try their Pho as well, when I'm in the mood. Owners are really nice people!
