Prices are way too high for what you get, they are understaffed so you wait awhile and they tack on $2.00 for ALL card transactions. Used to be a good spot for asian food with a little bit of everything, but not anymore.

Thank you Jimmy and Sandy for being such great host and server. You deserve the hype for best Lao food in this small town called Porterville. Came here with no expectations-- sure enough they did not disappoint. Just like every Lao style Papaya salad--it was mouthwatering good--savory, spicy, and little tangy and sweet. Khao piek --(Lao udon chicken noodle soup) every bite and sip was comforting--just like home cooked food. You bet, I'll come again whenever I'm in town.

All food was served extremely fresh and was delicious. I've eaten here several times now and decided to leave a review because of how good it always is. They have a great variety of food and I can vouch for their pho, curries, salads, and noodles. There bobas are also great. They're very friendly and are more than willing to help you figure out what to order if you're new or want to try something different. They're a local family run business and their food is great!

Stopped for lunch and got the beef pho, it was super delicious and I plan on stopping back in again next time I'm in the area.

I didn’t want to judge my first visits but won’t be back. I love pho, tried at separate visits their chicken, seafood, beef & was tasteless and salty every time. No spices, plain salty.

The lady up front is very kind but I don't think I'll ever go there again. First time I went when they were at the bowling alley the service and prices were good. Went in 2021 waited an hour for my take-out one bahn mi order while she continually served other customers walking in. I should have spoke up but I didn't. Then went about a week ago and it was a $4 fee to use credit card for one $7 bahn mi. Didn't have to wait an hour this time but credit card fee was more than half the price of the sandwich.

Prices are a bit expensive for the food you get. Got some basic beef pho and it was $15 and it had probably 7 pieces of beef. Tack on a $2 fee if you use a card.

Absolutely the worst service and food! Never will come to this place again. I called at 11 when they opened and asked for a teriyaki bowl with no vegetables onions or sesame seeds. I repeated it 3 times and that my daughter cannot eat that stuff. The lady on the phone was really nice and assured me they would make it right. And it would be ready in 20 minutes. I got there at 11:40 after shopping at town and country and when I walked in the lady was watching TV and talking to a guy. When I came in she acted like I bothered them and interrupted their doing nothing since there were zero customers in the restaurant. They haven’t even started my order. The guy didn’t even know what I ordered so I told him and I heard him tell the cook no veggies or onions. After 5 minutes and my ice cream and ice melting in my truck waiting, he gave me my food and told me that there was a $2 charge to use my card. Two dollars for a $9 meal???? That’s insane. I pay and when I check my food it has veggies and onions all over it. And the food looked undercooked and disgusting. I told him and he was like oh- okay whatever I guess it was the wrong order. WRONG ORDER THERE WERE NO OTHER CUSTOMERS THERE AND I JUST HEARD YOU TELL THE COOK TO MAKE IT!!! What a liar. You would think with inflation and everything a little attention to detail and service would come with your food. I will never come here again. Tokyo Bowl is 1000% better prices, food, and service. I usually don’t leave bad reviews but these people don’t deserve business and it’s obvious that at noon during lunch rush that the place being empty is for a reason.

Charge 2 dollars for using credit card. They should inform me at the beginning. Food is OK.
Had pad Thai, bahn mi and taro boba Suggestions: *Tone down vinegar in pad Thai and shredded carrots in bahn mi. Add marinated radish to bahn mi and cilantro to both. *Less mayo in bahn mi *Less salt in barbecue pork in bahn mi *Clean floor, sink and toilet of bathroom.

6.50 for a one size boba, then a $2.00 credit card fee when credit card companies only charge 5 percent or less on a transaction. Making one boba 8.70!! In porterville! Didnt even taste like tie tea and im paying carnival fair prices.
