I recently moved to Kennebunk with my dog and learned that there was only one Vietnamese restaurant in town. I’m not usually the one who patron a Vietnamese establishment that sells other foods besides Vietnamese food and I had low expectations; however, I was carving for Vietnamese food and curious at the same time. I was the only one dinning at the time (3pm-ish). My food came out quickly and I was pleasantly surprised to see how good the egg rolls were. They were made with authentic traditional ingredients and as I was enjoying every last flavor I thought that the egg rolls would have been even better if they were made using rice papers. So will give the egg rolls an 8.5/10. I order the egg banh mi and it was decent. The bread itself didn’t seem very fresh so I’ll give it a 5.5/10. It would be higher had it came with pate and fresh banh mi. The special pho itself (I ordered a regular) seem adequately portioned. I appreciate the herbs given were fresh and adequately supplied.

I’ll the special pho a 7/10. Overall, my experience was pleasantly good. The food didn’t WOW me (I’m a foodie and my expectations are high), but it did do the job of satisfying my craving. The important thing is that I was did not walk away feeling...

I feel like they just didn’t want do it last night and made that call. In addition, we were pretty unimpressed with the cleanliness of the place. That’s said, those two things guarantee I won’t order from them again. There are two many choices in this area to be disappointed by service and cleanliness at...
Read moreI ordered from DoorDash and it was subpar. The banh mi was ok, just ok. The summer rolls were advertised as having shrimp, pork, and mint, and none of those three items were present. The orange chicken was awful. A lot of sauce, very little chicken. It also took forever. The initial estimate said we would get our food at 8:40, and I think it finally showed up closer to 9:30 PM. And the DoorDash courier had to wait at the restaurant for like 10 minutes. Maybe this place is better if you eat at the restaurant, but if you're looking to DoorDash, look elsewhere, especially since if the food is not as described, you're still kind of...
