I was recommended this place by a few friends. I was really excited to go, but honestly the food was incredibly disappointing. I got sweet and sour chicken. It wasn’t fried, there wasn’t much chicken in it, they throw in steamed cucumber instead of zucchini (nasty), and it’s mainly liquid sauce, chopped under-steamed vegetables, and that gross thin chicken that doesn’t even taste or feel like chicken. I got wonton soup and thought that would be the saving grace - who can mess up wontons? I paid $7 for the appetizer and there is literally one single wonton in the entire container of soup… 2 stars is being nice. Save your money for all the better Asian spots around Akron.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The Pho here is delicious, we also had the summer rolls and that peanut dip was great. However, one thing that will stick with me is that we ordered Mango sticky rice to go but forgot to take it with us... they kept a paper behind the register describing our family and what we ordered just incase we called or came back. I did end up going in the next day for more summer rolls and she recognized me as being with the girls who ordered the rice and left it.... so we were able to get a refund on that and I made sure to tip them a little extra for being so great!! We'll be back for sure!!!

Great place. Wonderful food. Good people. I only have one complaint. Sometimes there takeout seems rushed. And last time I ordered the coconut soup, which is usually very rich and flavorful, I ordered an extra one for my coworker and it tasted like they made j one serving and split it and watered it down. Which is a bummer for my coworker who never ate there before. Plz next time don’t water down the soup. It’s not a good first impression. Other than that i love this place EDIT : mentioned it to em and they made sure the next time I got it it was back to normal and it was. Thank u guys. I really enjoy this place
