Love this place. Great lunch specials and their peanut dressing and spicy lime dressing are amazing. I love getting their sweet and sour but their pork bun was disappointing. Fast friendly service!UpvoteDownvote
KristinMay 23, 2014Spicy Noodles, spring rolls, and the house fried rice are all quite nice. The jasmine tea (hot) is excellent. The spicy noodle dish is large enough to share between 2 people.UpvoteDownvote
Eduardo BarrettoJanuary 3, 2013Everything is good here. Love the shrimp fried rice and HIGHLY recommend the Korean BBQ beef sandwich. For my sweet tooth the sweet ice tea hits the spot. Eduardo

Bread SunJanuary 3, 2015Liked the cozy atmosphere. Wonton noodle was pretty good and sweet and sour chicken(pic) was also good but little too sweet.

Yobel MuchangDecember 30, 2013the best salmon fried rice I've ever had. My friend had the yellow curry chicken crispy roll and said it's delicious (also enormous)UpvoteDownvote
Definitely a cool spot and a favorite. The Thai chicken fried rice and pad thai are yummy and super cheap. Better than lotus next door. The kimchi is also great & their $5 lunch plates can't be beat.UpvoteDownvote- Fernando MelendezJune 13, 2015The BBQ Pork buns are great! Had the Yellow Curry Chicken and thebBeef Pad See Ew. Very fresh and delicious.UpvoteDownvote

Get the tofu spring rolls to start, then follow up with Kung Pao tofu.UpvoteDownvote
The Crispy Rolls are like chimichanga with chinese food as the filling. Very good flavors! Also good is the fried rice and pad thai dishes.UpvoteDownvote

Lynne SNovember 23, 2013Sorry. Overrated. Tofu fresh roll was all lettuce with a small piece of tofu. BBQ short ribs extremely fatty and chicken wings averageUpvoteDownvote
