We just moved to here a couple of weeks ago. We decided to have Chinese on Christmas. From the good reviews we decided to give this place a shot. It is in a sketchy area but it did not disappoint. Their sesame chicken with veggie fried rice was delicious!! I got the small order and it was def enough for one person. I liked that there was two options for portion size cause I’m not a fan of leftovers and the food didn’t feel overwhelming. Their egg drop soup is also good not my favorite but def didn’t disappoint. I would order it again… Spring rolls were also nice & crispy. Hubby ordered egg foo yung with gravy on the side and he liked it… said the sauce was an added bonus. Overall this place is delicious. If you’re reading this try it out… You will not be disappointed.

Tran’s Seafood – Menu with Prices – 3346 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Fort Myers

Don’t let the name fool you because this is NOT a seafood restaurant, it’s an awesome tiny Vietnamese restaurant and supermarket! We have been there several times and so far we have had the Pho, egg rolls, spring rolls and bahn mi. The egg rolls and spring rolls are the perfect pairing because the hot crunchiness of the egg rolls are an excellent companion to the cold, crisp freshness of the spring rolls. The bahn mi is very tasty but the Pho is where it’s at. The broth has so many layers of flavor that you can tell it’s the real deal and make sure you come hungry because the bowls are huge! We always get the Pho Dac Biet (Special Beef Pho) because we love everything in our Pho but you can order it any way you want it if you’re scared of tendon or tripe. But don’t be afraid because it’s all delicious!

Saigon Block – Menu with Prices – 2150 Arapaho Rd, Richardson

This was the best Vietnamese dining experience ever. The food was delicious and the authentic. We ordered the medium sized baked fish for a party of four and it was plenty. The fish was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I was surprised how moist the fish was considering it was baked. I expected it to be dry, but instead it was moist. There were sprinkles of toasted garlic and green onion covering the fish that helped compliment the soft fish. There’s plenty of leafy greens and herbs for the spring rolls that came out with the fish. The combination of the warm crispy fish with the fresh vegetables feels light and flavorful. The textures in this dish was helped enhance flavor of each wrap. We also ordered the imperial spring rolls and beef three way. We ate the beef rolls by wrapping it in lettuce and dipping it in the sauce. I really enjoyed the imperial spring roll. There was what felt like a crispy egg roll wrapped in the inside. When I bit into the spring roll it was warm and savory.

Daisuki Ramen – Menu with Prices – 27473 Ynez Rd STE 1C, Temecula

I got so excited when I found this on Yelp. I decided to try the Pho Ga and Spring Rolls and my husband has the California Rolls even though it seemed questionable that they had so many options on the menu. I should have stuck with the Ramen since the restaurant’s name has the word Ramen it in but I wanted something light. When it was delivered it was on time but the soup was cold which lead me to believe it probably wasn’t too freshly made. Once I ate it, the noodles were chewy and undercooked. The Spring Rolls were sloppily made (I grew up making Spring Rolls with my family so I was not impressed). My husband thought the CA Rolls were nothing special, that they’re better at Albertsons or Trader Joe’s for the price. We tried it, it wasn’t bad but nothing tasted fresh or authentic. I might try the Ramen but overall we’re not impressed.

Krua Thai Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 7603 W 21st St, Wichita

This placed used to be so awesome. I’m not 100% sure but I think new owners took over and this place has really gone downhill since then. Either way the service is now abysmal and after my experience tonight I definitely won’t be back. Ordered my usual Spring rolls, Chicken Panang, Chicken Pad Thai. Picked up and got home – which is more than 10 minute drive – to find my spring rolls weren’t included. Called up to ask for the cost of my spring rolls to be credited back on the card I used. Not only did the lady argue with me and remain adamant that they did not forget my rolls but then said the only thing they could do is give me a credit for my next order. Nope. Not good enough. Especially when you are calling me a liar, raising your voice and won’t even offer an apology. Why on earth would a customer of several years try to ‘swindle’ you for a single order of spring rolls lol?!

Papaya Vietnamese Café Menu with Prices 15600 NE 8th St STM PM-12, Bellevue

Let’s see, so my wife and I came here Sun after church because she needed to go to Michael’s store right when they opened and I was getting hungry! So I wanted soup and what better place than a place that serves pho’! As we ordered we stood there a few monitors while the lady behind the counter prepped a dish. As she greeted us with k smile and we couldn’t really understand her, we managed to get our order in! I got the beef skirt and flank pho! My wife just a beef skirt pho! We ordered also fresh spring rolls! So as I went Sri get a table my wife waited for the soups. She noticed that on the container the chopsticks were in there were bugs crawling on them! Ant like insect! Of course I was told this as I ate my soup! As I went back to get some hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce I noticed that some of the trays the food is served on were dirty! We paid some $$ for this food So I continued to eat my soup and spring rolls!! We thought we ordered one order of spring rolls bet we got four rolls cut into 8 pieces! Wow! It was good! I liked the pho! My wife complained that she had too much meat!! WHAT!? So she she gave me some which made my soup yummy! A few big jalapeños and I was good to go! Despite the few bugs and dirty trays food was good but since this was an open food court you may expect unsanitary instances, but you need to build you immune system, right!!? LOL!

Bambuza Pearl District – Menu with Prices – 100 NW 10th Ave #3107, Portland

My Girl and I were in Portland on holiday and stopped in on a whim at lunchtime on Monday. We ordered several items to share: Yellow Curry with shrimp Green Papaya Salad with shrimp Bambuza salad rolls with shrimp Crispy Spring rolls First the presentation was nice and the wait staff brought our food out fairly quickly. I know reading other reviews that wasn’t what we had read. They also brought us plates to share our dishes. This is not a full service restaurant you order then sit and they bring you your food. So for the food: The green papaya salad was good and refreshing however the shrimp on top was bland and not an addition I would recommend. The crispy spring rolls were very good and the sauce compliments them well. The Bambuza roll was good but had a very strong taste of herbs which make it taste fresh but the mint slightly overpowers the dish. The peanut sauce does compliment and tame the mint some. The shrimp in the Bambuza rolls were also bland. The yellow curry, of all the dishes I eat this the most frequently, was okay. The vegetable didn’t gain the flavor of the curry the way I prefer but it wasn’t a poorly composed dish either. The shrimp again was bland. The rice with the curry was well cooked. I wouldn’t stop anyone from coming here but I can say that it isn’t on the level of other places I frequently go.

Heng Thai & Rotisserie – Menu with Prices – 165 Angell St, Providence

I stopped in here for lunch a few days ago and it was definitely worth the visit! I went with two other people and we decided to order a few things to share and try. We ordered crispy spring rolls, chicken satay, pad Thai, 1/2 rotisserie chicken with green beans and sticky rice, and two different soups. All of that came to $71 and my father from NY was astonished by the quality and amount of food for that price. The service was great and so was the food. The pad Thai with crispy chicken was very good but the real showstoppers were the roast chicken and the two soups. One was a pork stew and the other was a soup with little bits of chicharron on top. I can’t recall the name of it off the top of my head but one was made with egg noodles while the other was made with rice noodles. Both had great broths! The one with the egg noodles had a bit of sweetness to it. And the soups were very large and we took some home because we couldn’t finish it. The rotisserie chicken was moist and the accompanying sauce complemented it very well. It offered a sweet and spicy addition to the chicken. Their garlic string beans were delicious and I could have ate a huge bowl of them alone! The sticky rice was also very good and perhaps that’s because I favor sticky rice to just regular white rice. The crispy spring rolls and satay were also delicious. The staff was very friendly and funny. Overall a great place to check out if you’re near Thayer.

The Blasian Asian – Menu with Prices – 202 S University Parks Dr #2238, Waco

*** UPDATED Review After reading the restaurant’s response to my first review below, we decided to give them another try. We ordered the Blasian Asian combo (1 skewer each chicken, pork, and beef, with noodles and 2 “egg rolls” (similar to fried spring rolls at many Asian restaurants). We also got an order of 3 cold summer/spring rolls. They serve semi-cool drinks in bottles, with no cups or ice. It was $24+, including 1 bottle water and 1 Diet Coke. I think that’s quite expensive for a food truck, but it had great reviews, so hopefully it would be worth the high price. It was a nice day, so we sat outside. The food was ready in about 5 minutes. When the combo plate arrived, the visuals made my heart and stomach sink. The noodles looked to be swimming in oil, and while somewhat tasty, they were very oily. The meat on the skewers was Extremely difficult to remove. The chicken had a light curry flavor, the pork somewhat flavorful and fatty, and the beef had no flavor. They were all over-cooked. The egg rolls were the best and lightest flavored items on the plate. The fresh summer rolls were handmade, but didn’t have much flavor. I like them with peanut sauce, but these were served with ?sweet chili? sauce. Hubby found them to be good and “pure” tasting. At the end of the meal, our plates were empty and our hunger pains quelled, however, our senses were neither happy nor satisfied. I debated between 2 and 3 stars, and didn’t consider my first visit. We won’t return. I prefer Happy Wok for Asian food. That’s my personal opinion.

Em Kitchen Asian Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 4400 Roswell Rd Ste#154, Marietta

I learned about this restaurant through Yelp when it opened just a few short months ago. Not sure I would’ve known about it otherwise. So a little extra advertisement would go a long way in getting the word out about this new restaurant located in Marietta. When I stopped by recently, we were the only diners during a weekend lunch hour. The service was a little slow initially despite being empty. We were ready to order, but had to wait a while before anyone came to take our order. Beyond that, the service did improve later on. For the menu, the restaurant has quite a diversity of options available. You can order Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, or Korean food here. We started with the Shrimp Spring Rolls and Vietnamese Style Chicken Wings. The spring rolls were good, but I noticed that there wasn’t enough peanut sauce as we ran out before we finished the spring rolls. The wings were very flavorful, and I really liked those. For entrees, I ordered the Special Combo Pho (Vietnamese menu), the tofu for my kids, and beef tofu soup (Korean menu). The portions are quite generous. I shared my pho with the kids, and the tofu soup we were able to save some for a nice snack later on. I was able to talk to the owner on my latest visit and learned that the broth for the pho is marinated for 36 hours. The owner is from Vietnam and she was very nice. She brought out some extra broth for us to share when she saw that we were sharing the pho. She was also very pleasant to speak to. Overall, I liked the various options of food you can choose from. If you and your partner are both craving Asian food but can’t agree on a type of cuisine, this would be the perfect place to go.

Gia Minh Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 6181 Fraser St, Vancouver

There are four vegan items are on the menu: vegan spring rolls, vegan salad rolls, vegan pho, and vegan sub. The salad rolls are wrapped around a mildly salty tofu/tempeh. These rolls are tender and fiberous as a filling appetizer. It is served with peanut sauce for more delicious flavour. The peanut sauce is a love or hate accoutrement. It is supplanting the tempeh flavour, and I’m not able to taste tempeh. This is despite the good taste. I would recommend eating the salad rolls as it is, and the peanut sauce is good for your bean sprouts. I recommend chomping-down with the tofu side on tongue. Unlike others, the spring rolls are thinner but sweet. The crispy outer is clean and plane. Every bite is smooth in the centre, and it is a sweet starchy inside. I am told that it’s made with veggies, mungbeans, and bean sprouts. The vegetable broth is not a simple vegetable broth from a Campbell’s stock. When you first receive it, a sip is warm enough to get blood rushing to your ears. The flavour is bold and salty to remind you of cold winter seasons behind a steaming soup that one might enjoy as much as desert. The noodles are like the typical rice noodles. They are elastic, chewy, and flavourful by the sweetness. The large bowl is a larger noodle bundle to enjoy. You should wait for the noodles to soak the broth, so it’s easy to pull. I recommend eating the noodles for a while, and you should add bean sprouts when you find the soup too salty. With the bean sprouts, the soup is balanced and a mix of salty and washed-out flavours. The sandwich is same tofu as salad rolls. The bread, the cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, cilantros, and jalapeños are standard and good. I should ask for no butter/mayo for a vegan version. I prefer the salad rolls to this sub.

Pho Vietnam – Menu with Prices – 8602 W 133rd St, Overland Park

Living in Lawrence I don’t get a lot of options to have a good bowl of pho. This is one thing I miss about Wichita. We were excited to try Pho Vietnam after a day of running around and my son is a big Pho fan, it’s his first choice if he’s allowed to pick dinner. When you first walk in the restaurant is clean and inviting. They sat us right away because we came at slow time and quickly served water without even having to ask. We opted to get the crab Rangoon and spring rolls for an appetizer. Those were both really good ! The crab Rangoon filling was flavorful, had a good amount of meat, and was crispy. The spring rolls had flavor which was good because there are times I’ve had spring rolls and they jus taste like rice paper. The peanut sauce for dipping was delicious as well ! If I could have just got the spring rolls I would have been happy with my whole meal ! I opted for the P1 which is a more simple bowl of pho with the steak and my son got the same with no meat. The broth was full of flavor but the portion was smaller than I anticipated it to be. All the veggies I received on the side were fresh. The only down fall were the noodles felt like they had been cooked before put into the broth so after a couple minutes good too mushy for my liking. All in all I was happy with my order ! We also had the pork chop which was a little overdone and had a marinade that was almost candy sweet like which after a few bites is a bit off putting. My husband got the charbroiled pork fried rice and it was ok but it wasn’t like WOW this is so good I’ll get it again. Overall I’m glad I finally got a decent bowl of pho and I’ll probably just stick to ordering only noodle soups here.
