First off, the staff is super friendly and inviting. The speed of service and attention given by the wait staff is second to none. I had a beef and cheese egg roll for an appetizer. I could have made that a meal. I also had salt and pepper wings, DELICIOUS!!!! I also had crab fried rice which was very good. My wife had beef and broccoli which I tasted the beef if was tender and flavorful. I didn't have room for dessert, but I will try it later.

Food was staggered coming out of the kitchen, but very tasty and tangy. I got the sweet-and-sour chicken and it was excellent. Very polite and helpful staff. Has vegan options as well.

My niece and I came yesterday for lunch at 2. When we first came in we didnt really felt welcomed. We ordered the yellowtail roll, the beef salad, chicken and shrimp pad thai and panang curry with chicken. The food was not what we are disappointed about because everything was good, until we found a small piece of hair in the pad thai on the shrimp. Our waitress service couldve been better, the other waitress had a better service than the one who was assigned to my table. She was the one who I notified about the hair in the food because she was the one who checked in to see if everything was good. The pad thai was remade and we ended up just getting the rest of the food to go because it seemed like they were in a rush. I spent about $83 and still tipped $15. While leaving we were not given an expression of gratitude or a thank you. I wont be coming back here, even though this was my first and last time eating here. I hope the service could be better than what I experienced.

Shout out to our Server Lonnie (Lani), Im not sure how to spell her name, anyway, shes seems to be a very sweet and kind soul, who did an outstanding job with me and my 92 year-old mother. Very attentive and friendly. The manager gentlemen was very kind too. They close at 3 pm on Saturdays which we found out, when Mom and I walked in at 2:37. We drove 14 miles south down Route 16 from Sherrills Ford, to come eat here, because of how good the food is. When we walked in, the young server with the glasses (not our server) told us they close at 3, and last seating was at 2:30. I expressed our disappointment with how far we just drove to come. The gentlemen Manager heard me, and graciously started to seat us. The young server with the glasses immediately showed her disappointment with the Gentlemen Managers decision. I hollered to mom lets get out of here because I didnt like young girl with glasses attitude. The man Manager insisted we stay, which was nice. The food and Lonnies (Lani) service was impeccable. She got a 70% tip because of what a sweetheart she was, and the Manager being accommodating sitting us at 2:37. I hope Miss young glasses didnt get to share in any of that big tip. Id like to make a suggestion. Even though we didnt know they close at 3 on Saturdays, your should put 2:30 pm closing on your operating hours if your going to stop serving at that time. Thank you for a 90% great experience, and we look forward to coming back. You have the best freshest tasting Asian food Ive ever had. Its Fantastic.

Ordered red curry, pad se ew and beef pho with coworkers for lunch. Not sure how the other dishes tasted but I was disappointed with the pad se ew noodles. I was expecting thick fresh rice noodles and got medium dry rice noodles instead. The taste of the 2 noodles are different as the fresh noodles are thick and chewy and the dry noodles that was used were not. They used the noodles you have to soak before cooking. Please use the thick fresh noodles.
