Reviews
Our entrees come with a soup which I thought would be a simple soup but we were provided what taste like a Vietnamese soup that came with some noodles, meat, and vegetables. It was delicious and not too spicy that even my boyfriend enjoyed his portion. The food came after several minutes and it was just okay. The sweet and sour chicken tasted off, the meat just felt really off. The phad thai for me was not really flavorful and it was really clumpy which I’m not a fan of. The crab rangoon was delicious though. My boyfriend’s beef lumpia was pretty tasty and he said the Mongolian beef was tasty but agreed with me about the sweet and sour. The portions are pretty big for a lunch special but it just wasn’t good. The waitress never checked on us after dropping off our food which was unfortunate as we needed water.
The inside was nothing memorable either, they barely have any decorations or any attempt to give the restaurant an identity. They had a large flat screen TV playing views of different tropical islands but there was no music. After we got our food, the waitress turned on a very loud fan and I wasn’t sure what that was all about. Overall, don’t think we’ll be back as the only thing really good was the soup and appetizers which should not be the case for a restaurant.
Wrong veggies, they gave me pho veggies. and only one type of meat. Brisket. Which is wrong… over $15 for this is unacceptable….
The orange chicken was heavily breaded and didn’t have a whole lot of chicken, as well as being relatively flavorless. It was sweet and sticky, so sticky we had a hard time peeling it off the paper after dinner. It wasn’t bad by any means, but just average. Reminded me of small-town Chinese food where they don’t want to scare anyone off by being too interesting tasting.
The Vietnamese beef Banh Mi sandwich I got was okay tasting, but again it lacked any spice or interesting flavor. The beef was a little fatty and chewy. I’ve had much better Banh Mi sandwiches and I wouldn’t order it here again with beef, though I might try it with chicken.
By far the best dish was the vermicelli noodle Bun Pork and Egg Roll my wife got. She quite enjoyed it, except for the pork: it was too fatty so she didn’t eat any of it.
A very three star experience all around.
So, I got the pad thaj. It was HUGE. The noodles were fine and well-seasoned, my only complaint was that there was a lack of meat – but I was never much of a meat eater anyway.
Vietnamese iced coffee was good, though FYI it’s like 30 coffee and 80% ice – which was rather dissapointing. But it was good! Just not something I would get if I had known beforehand, and not really worth the price as such.
My father got the pho, he said it was good and combined with the price made it very solid.
You are offered a variety of condiments as well to go with your pho, as typical of Vietnamese restaraunts. As well as the chili oil, sriacha, and hoisin as standard.
Overall, the real star of the show is the pad thai. Such a good dish for the price, I recall someone reviewing it as bland – but I mean, you ordered it without the spice LOL.
The place is solid, everything was fine, service was lovely considering the lack of labor on the floor. Would come again for a casual meal or if I am craving some Thai or Vietnamese food.
They are located in between Union and Monroe, pretty close to Renton Technical College. The restaurant is small and oarking out front can be tight.
