I was surprised that this place is now more of a Vietnamese spot! Friendly service, fast preparation, clean restaurant. There is a cool room upstairs where it looks like they host live music. Didn't catch it this time around but it looks like a cool venue. -Highly recommend the pork rice platter, absolutely delicious! - The shrimp toast were very different than the Thai style I am used to, but quite good. Very strong sesame flavor. -The bread they use for the bahn mi here is PERFECTION, and overall I would say the sandwich was good. In my personal opinion (as a self-proclaimed bahn mi snob) I did feel the strong taste of the sauce on the chicken overwhelmed the flavor balance of the sandwich, which could be overcome by toning it down a little and/or having a stronger pickled flavor on the vegetable and more herbs to balance it out.

Don't let the dark exterior of the restaurant windows fool you, the inside has a nice seating area and atmosphere. The service was quick and super friendly. The menu has a lot to offer, something for everyone to try. The appetizers were delicious, and they offer plates to share, the portions are definitely big enough! The food also tasted delicious, nothing seemed frozen or made hours ago, and the spices and spicy-ness was perfect. Four stars only because they had ran out of the fried calamari when I was there. I'll definitely be coming here again, and I recommend it.

Vegan Review: Friendly! Under new ownership I thought I’d see if they added any vegan options to their menu. Of course baby bok choy 🥬 is always a great pick. Saw this mock dynasty duck/chicken. The only mock item on the menu. Walked in to pick up. Very cool friendly guy knew about vegan items and could answer questions. Mock dish was as expected, a bit over fried for my taste so i’ll prob ask them to just stir fry it next time. He said they’d make anything vegan. Cool. Deff try again..

Maybe I got the wrong thing...but this shvt was nasty!!! I couldve gotten much better food from a regular spot around the way for much less!!!

I order Chickens and got the Shrimp w/Wine Sauce w/ White Rice lunch special. I paid $9 for 4 Chicken Wings (i know...i know..) and they were literally the worse Wings from a Chinese spot ever. The wings had NO FLAVOR...literally just wings thrown in white flour then fried. No exaggeration. The Shrimp Wine Sauce lunch ($9.75) deal was a good portion, but didnt taste like much either...just shrimp and veggies, I needed to put Soy Sauce on it and I never use soy sauce.

...I left work to go get this shvt, never again. I shouldve read the...

My go to judgement of a good take out chinese place is their general tso chicken. And boy does this place not disappoint. We ordered a general tso, spicy beef and scollops, and a hot and sour. The general tso was great, minimal breading, big chunks of chicken, and not too overly sweet on the sauce. The fried rice that came with it was also great, with bits of scramble egg (usually extra for some spots). The beef and scallops came with a good amount of snow peas and protein portion, and that garlic sauce is legit! Savory and a bit of spice. Overall, very surprised of how great this spot was for a center city location. Definitely...
