This is the best resturant I've been to with my husband. The customer service is great and the food is phenomenal!!! Mrs. Diane and her husband Matthew are amazing people that work here. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to eat some great food!!
Excellent Vietnamese food. We ordered brisket pho and lemongrass shrimp with an order of egg rolls. Everything came out hot and very flavorful. The owner greeted us and had excellent customer service! We will definitely come back again!
Very nice place located in Florissant. If you have never tried Vietnamese food don’t let that scare you. It’s something for everyone to try. I tried the crab Rangoon and shrimp pho.So delicious and flavorful. You can tell the broth is fresh. This was my first time in today and I was not disappointed. I talked with the owner and felt so welcome in the establishment. I highly recommend you check it out. I will be back to try other dishes. The atmosphere is very nice as well
Me and my friend tried this place for the first time yesterday. We will definitely be back! We loved the entire experience. They were extremely nice, helpful, and informative. Told us about other options and things to try the next time. Even told us how to eat things we hadn't had before. We had the combo pho, chicken clay pot (my absolute favorite!) Steamed pork bun, and rice paper rolls with chicken. They were all so good. The combo pho wasn't my taste, but my friend loved it. Over all we are excited to try the other options next time. This was the first time in a while I knew I would be coming back to a place instead of 'yeah id eat it again' and then never go back. They also had all the napkins and utensils you'd need and two sauces on the table so you don't need to ask or have to request more. Cute environment also, and clean. 10/10
Let me start by saying the owner, Diane, is amazing and incredibly kind! The restaurant is very clean and the service was fast and friendly. I ordered the lemongrass soup spice level 2 and crab rangoon, and both were delicious!
Don’t walk Don’t hesitate Run!! Everything is authentic and fresh. It’s fresh out of Momas kitchen. The customer service is superb & Dao the owner is the best! You won’t be disappointed at all. My favorite was the egg rolls !
My boyfriend and I came in for lunch and absolutely loved it! We got the chicken potstickers, and the owner also convinced us to get the crab rangoon (which I’m glad she did because it was the best we’ve ever had). My boyfriend got the Pad Thai with pork which was great but the star of the show was the curry basil fried rice. The perfect amount of spice and so flavorful! Will definitely be coming back!
Awesome authentic vietnamese food. Order pho, banh mi , and spring roll. It was very delicious. Reminds me of my dad cooking. It's worth the 20 min drive. I enjoyed every moment of it.
