Upon walking in you're meet by their pleasant staff. The place is clean and nicely decorated. The food is delicious, they use all fresh ingredients and you can tell. Prices are very reasonable 2 full size egg rolls, fried rice, 2 chicken skewers and salad for $20.00 adult serving size.

Came here to pick up a to go order. This location is off Tacoma Mall Blvd in a Plaza mall right next to Car Toys. Once you walk in, there's table to your left and right and the counter in the middle. I ordered 2 pho combos to go. This is a trio of meat consisting of beef brisket, rare steak and meatballs. The soup comes out super hot which they do warn you about. The food itself self was pretty good! The staff was friendly.

My new favorite Thai restaurant. The place is clean and very nice looking inside....definitely a date spot. The food is absolutely excellent. The bird nest is a must, then order around this.

Delicious food with many options vegetarians. Everything is always fresh and the staff is friendly. The establishment is clean and has a nice bar towards the rear. Don't let the fact that it's in a strip mall fool you. This place is a real gem!

I dont even do reviews ever but I got too. I come in this spot like twice a week I don't even need the menu I already know what I want! the Orange chicken is cooked the way it's supposed to be not too much bread and the pho is crazy. I'm sittin in here eatin right now & just had to show some love because it's not getting old at all

This is one of my favorite restaurants. It has a very relaxing atmosphere with tlgentle background music. The food is consistently very good. The staff are welcoming and attentive. And, there is good parking.

Some coworkers and I stopped in for a mid-week lunch and we were instantly greeted at the door. The young woman who greeted us, promptly took us to a table of our choosing and handed us a few menus. We ordered a smattering of appetizers to share, before placing our entree order. The wait was relatively fast as appetizers came out within a few short minutes. I highly recommend the fried calamari. It is the best I have ever had and it's only $12. Notable mention on the wings and any noodle dish they offer.

First visit and not disappointed.Ordered the "starter"Saigon crepe,a fave from their sister restaurant in the Proctor district.Didn't disappoint! Huge and flavourful.Swimming Angel was the other meal along with some calamari as a proper starter.Generous on the side of rice and a nice sauce.Service was prompt and friendly.Very quiet except for the Car Toys store two shops away with customers abusing their car speakers!Good for large and small groups,cocktails,beer and wine....a pleasant dining experience.

Wow this place is awesome, it's beautiful inside. The staff were awesome, our waitress was prompt and really nice. The food however is off the hook, yes it was delicious. I can't believe how many times I have gone past this place and never stopped. The pad thai was really good and they made it nice and spicy for me. I had a taste of the viet curry it was very flavorful with a taste of lemongrass. Yes definitely eat here!
