Updated on 11/16/2025 Second time dining here for lunch. Very Very slow,waiting for over 30 minutes but nothing served. New open around the area. It tastes way better than "Best Asian restaurant" which locates in the intersection of highway 96 and Lexington Ave in my personal opinion. Their Thai sausages are good. Pho is hot, fresh and in reasonable portion. Fried rice tastes just right, not too sweet/greasy/salty(you know those typical kind of american-asian fried rice). It worths a try.

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.

Been a fan even before they opened up a store front. Their steamed rolls are probably the best in the twin cities. Right consistency on the batter and enough meat for balance. Their brown sauce dishes are very good, delicious. Pad Thai, on the other hand, was disappointing. The taste could've been better but there was hardly any noodles. Their chicken wings was crunchy and had flavor. The rice that came with the meal was only enough for 2 bites. The place looks kind of run down, doesn't look like they did much renovating before opening. Overall, definitely recommend the food.

Great authentic hmong/asian food. Loved their steamed roll. It tasted fresh and very good. Also had their top pho bowl for $20+. It also tasted great. The broth is right on. NO disappointing on the pho. Will go back again next time or order a big platter of their steam roll.
