I've been here twice now, and every time we've been greeted like we're family. Sam was our server, and he went above and beyond to help me customize my order due to diet restrictions. He was very patient and nice. He made us feel welcomed and like family. The food is amazing. I always get the ChowFun and every time it's more amazing then the last time! Food is really seasoned and fresh never disappoints.

First time calling to do take out. Staff was friendly and helped explain their menu.I called at 7:15pm, didn't realize they closed at 8:30pm. I got there 50 minutes before they closed and seemed they were closing early. Had the closed vibe.Aside from that the food was quite good. I was pleasantly surprised for being a small place I didn't know what to expect. Flavor of the food was great and the portions were decent.For the sesame chicken combo it was $17.50. The chicken portion was a little small for being the main course. But there still was decent amount of food.Single Beef Low Mein was not a combo for $12.50, good portion. Shrimp spring rolls were $7.50. They were not supposed to be cut, they accidentally did that. But overall delicious meal and would like to try going there for a sit down experience next time. I recommend a try!

AWFUL AWFUL EXPERIENCE. And owner is liar and cheat. I went here recently for dinner. The waitress who took my order and had been working with me almost delivered someone else's order to my table. I had to tell her it wasn't mine. I ordered General Tso's chicken. The waitress sent that to someone else's table who had no mind to say it wasn't theirs. A different waiter comes to tell me that my order was sent to the wrong table and asked if I would like sesame chicken instead. I said that I did not want that. I would like my original order. (Why even ask that? If I wanted sesame chicken I would have ordered that.) He proceeded to continue asking me if I would take the sesame chicken. No! I don't understand how many times I have to say, No! He leaves and returns no more than 5 minute's later and hands me a plate and tells me this is my order of General Tso's chicken. It has sesame seeds all over it but vegetables added to it. Seriously? I asked the waiter if it was the sesame chicken and he said yes but with vegetables! I sent it back and said I no longer want the General Tso's chicken. He stated he was sorry it was what his boss told him to do. The original waitress never came back and couldn't spend 2 seconds to apologize for messing up. And the owner just straught out shamelessly LIED!!!!! Poor guy took the fall for it all. If I wasn't with my kids I would have gotten up and walked out for the blatant lie and shameless act. But I had to calmly tell them how unacceptable what they did is. And how upset I was. Without ruining the rest of dinner. I will not go back or support a business that does not care about its customer.

Clean and well organized. Staff are friendly and helpful. Extensive menu and lots of local people eat here. Lots of windows so it is a bright place. They seem to have a large number of takeout orders too. We like the food and will be going back.

Placed a takeout order with a girl at the front register, asked and clarified with her that my order was correct since they don’t have photos on their menu. The girl at the front said yes, I even showed a picture to confirm. Once order was placed, the owner brought out a totally different order that I did not want. Owner then proceeded to blame me and say it was my fault for placing in the wrong order and they will not make it again. I will be taking my money elsewhere moving forward. Plenty of better and cleaner Chinese restaurants in the twin cities.

Food was average. Both of our Phos had slimy and rotten tasting meat balls. Service was good and food came out fast.

Pho broth was a bit too salty for me. Noodles were fine. Had to add sugar, lemon and sriracha for tasting. Eggrolls and fried chicken wings were delicious ?

The pho is good. Use to be better because they'd give a lot of flanks and brisket but now they don't. I use to not be able to finish the jumbo but for some reason, I can now so ??‍♀️. Other food like chicken chow mein is good.Parking: Parking is fine.Wheelchair accessibility: I'd say it's handicap accessible as it's only one floor. I also take my elderly client here with a walker and have had no problems.

All the food that I have tried there has been really good. My favorite is the P6 (sea food Pho). Regular size pho is a really good amount. Only get the large if you're sharing. Service is fantastic and friendly.
