Boyfriend and I decided to check out this place, because recently I moved from Fargo to a small town a bit away from Aberdeen and missed the proper ethnic food. Thankfully, this was the right place to go!

The complaints I've seen cited in the reviews is small portions, expensive, and mean staff. None of these are remotely true. The portions are fairly sized, the food is the appropriate price for authentic cooking, and the staff are very nice.

The pho is wonderful. I appreciate that the staff decided to leave part of the ingredients on the side, because my boyfriend is a little picky about the taste of anise and other things, so I tend to not include it in my food so he can eat the leftovers.

So for clarification, I'm not complaining about the food served at this restaurant. This restaurants serves some of the only acceptable food in Aberdeen as someone from the Twin-Cities.

However, the service and atmosphere at this place is absolutely atrocious. Unfortunately not many of the reviews go into how the staff treats their customers, however, the woman who works at the counter (owner) has had instances of yelling at customers if she's stressed. Even moreso, she has been seen yelling at her husband and complaining about Americans to him. I understand that restaurants can get busy and it can be a very stressful environment but that's just a reality of the food industry and customers shouldn't run the risk of being treated poorly during busy hours.

If you want good ethnic food in Aberdeen, this is the place to go. But know this: the staff of this place are highly unprofessional and the woman at the counter has been known to yell on busier,...
