My husband and I decided to have lunch here after hearing about it online and seeing the positive reviews. The location was a bit odd, but we put that aside and gave it a shot. We ordered our drinks, and were offered complementary soup and salad. That’s practically unheard of, so we said yes. We then ordered the Soft Shell Crab appetizer, the Nom Banh Chok and two sushi rolls. The clear soup was delicious and had a rich flavor and subtle texture. The salad was fine until I realized there was a large piece of clear plastic. I pointed it out to the waitress so the cooks would be informed and hopefully be more careful in future. She apologized and quickly took the bowls. Then the Soft Shell Crab was brought out. I’ll admit I had never tried this before anywhere, so I’m not sure if my experience is typical, or unique to this restaurant. The whole crab was fried, soft shell and all, and was black and tasted burnt. In my experience you usually don’t eat the shell. I tried to pick out the crab meat that I could, but quickly gave up. The main entrees were brought out and I was hopeful we’d finally have a win. Unfortunately, neither of us liked our dishes. For my husband and the Nom Banh Chok, it was a new dish he’d never tried before and he didn’t care for it. The chicken in the soup was bone-in, and neither of us expected a large bone in the soup. He’s not sure if it was actually bad, or just not for him. For me, I ordered two sushi rolls I’m very familiar with to see how it compared with others I’ve had before. I got the California Roll and the Philly Roll. I liked that the California Roll had masago on top, since a lot of places just cover the roll with sesame seeds. Other than that, the rice didn’t have any flavor, and the sushi rolls were very loose. The Philly Roll almost tasted sour instead of smoked with the smoked salmon. I had noticed another table nearby had left one of their sushi rolls almost completely untouched. I was surprised and a little saddened at the waste of food. After how bad my rolls tasted, I wonder if they’d had a similar experience. Personally, we won’t be back.

Our server was a very sweet young lady. I got the chicken hibachi for lunch and it was wonderful! These portions are crazy for the price. I also got the spicy shrimp roll and it was equally as delicious. I definitely recommend. This place is definitely an underrated gem. I don’t know why this place is packed out the door.

Walked in mid day mid week. Very attentive staff.

Don’t let the hole in the wall appearance sway you away… this is a hidden gem. I personally appreciate the more quiet atmosphere this place offers.
This is one of my son’s favorite restaurants for months now. He has been raving about the oxtail soup (Kathiew); so when we went I finally tried it. It was very flavorful (reminded me of a really good pho). We have gone a few times together (and he has gone a lot alone) and tried several items on the menu (especially the specials). We always have good service and good sized portions and fresh food.

Saw this place being talked up on Facebook, so we decided to try it out. I ordered the Hawaii Fried Rice. I loved it! It came with a simple salad and some soup. Wasn’t a fan of the dressing or the soup, but that is probably on me. My husband hat the Chicken Fried Rice with added Shrimp. He wasn’t impressed. The shrimp was tough, and the chicken was over-cooked. I thought the portions were good-sized. Mine was enough to feed myself and my adult son. We spent between $30-$35. This place got mixed reviews from our family, but they are definitely worth checking out.

You guys!! I’ve been spending more time in MS for work and thought I’d struggle to find decent food, so I chose to venture out to a new spot… I am extremely familiar with sushi & Asian fusion food, so trust me when I tell you, this is the spot. This area NEEDED this food. & SERVICE?! Wow. So professional, but personable at the same time. They helped me find the roll I wanted & every roll was amazing. Other servers checked on us which is going above & beyond. They’re family owned & each staff member is part of the family, so please go support them! Show some love & venture out, even if you think you may not like a certain food, try it!!

I love this place but I gave it 4 stars because they must have different cooks that are not on the same page. I love their chicken hibachi but one day the noodles that come with it may be sweet and the best you’ve ever eaten. Some days they are salty and bland. I like them sweet and wish they’d stick to making it that way. The chicken egg rolls are very tasty, even the sauce is like no other. They do not buy them from a wholesaler like other places, they are homemade. The clear soup is the best I’ve ever eaten. The food is fresh. You also get big portions and very reasonable prices. I will continue to go here but hope they make the noodles the original way with some sweetness.
