My husband and I drove from Fond du lac to try it. Didnt even know where it was exactly. Walking in, we had no clue what to expect, this restaurant is in the same building of a bar I partied at in my 20s! First impression walking in was how nice the lights and decor made the atmosphere feel. We ordered drinks from the bar and picked a table. The menu, flavors, spices and everything were explained very well to us. They gladly took mine and my husbands picture, as it was date night. My husband ordered some chicken wings and was shocked at how good they really were! Perfectly seasoned, cooked and topped with delicious cooked onions. My husband told them to hug the cook for him haha.. I had a shrimp and crab boil with a cajun style sauce, and let me tell yall, I was in HEAVEN!!! Everything about it was so delicious! I had a bib, gloves and a cracking tool also. I ate every bit of it! They also made sure that my husbands food was not cross contaminated, as he is allergic to shellfish.. that's a huge deal for us!! This is not a fancy dancy, corporate style restaurant. It has a very chill atmosphere, music playing by the bar, etc. If you're a judgemental, complaining asshat, then this place is not for you!! The reviews I see on their Facebook page are just a bunch of people whining. Get over yourselves! It's a NEW restaurant, I'm sure they've had hiccups and will probably have more.. they just need a chance! Overall we had a great experience.. we both left full and happy!! We...
Read more4/5 4 Rating out 5: Beef Pho noodle soup. Very good. This beef broth with beef slices and a square Raman type noodle slab is a very large soup. Tasted traditional Vietnamese. Bean sprouts side dish was a bit tart to add to an otherwise good soup.
4/5. Egg rolls with mild hot dipping sauce. Crispy crust with unavoidable residual cooking oil. A Good appetizer while waiting for your food.
2/5. 1lb shrimp (without heads) in tomato based, house special sauce. Amazingly, food is packaged in a double lined clear trash bag and after tasting it, it was conveniently thrown out. Generous, large, 19 shrimp meal, tasted as if it was ruined by over cooking in water and post mixed in their mild sauce. It is quite difficult to peal off the shells, leaving sauce behind from plain shrimp. The sauce leaves a greasy residue on uncovered hands that requires a soap hand wash (not just napkin wipes).
Service was very good. Music not to loud. Tables set up with white plastic table cloths and plastic bibs so you can slobber all you want.
Some more attention to detail from the customer’s perspective would help improve initial perceptions. Like painting the entrance hallway walls to the door entrance, keeping all the pho additive bottles full and clean and keeping the hand soap in the bathroom filled.
I will post the picture of the meal presentation and shrimp bag delivered...
Read moreThey re-located and reopened, which I was super excited about! When we went to the new location, service was terrible… we never got our drinks till I said something about an hr later to our serve, and she didn’t even remember what we got so I had to tell her again.. When we were done eating, she was quick with the bill though. I understand there was a big party ahead of us, so we expected to wait, but 2.5 hrs of waiting for one of there combo meals is a little much. In our seafood combo meal, it came with muscles - but our muscles were still clammed shut together. When we opened a few to eat, there was still seaweed in the muscles (meaning they were not cleaned out). Gross! Also, I want to mention that we usually can share a seafood combo between two people and have left overs. We did not have any leftovers and still left hungry. Super disappointed and we will not...
