Bland asian food. It’s just salt and peppered, no unique amazing flavor or any other added ingredients. Way too salty, not well seasoned. Sorry but this ain’t your good hmong food place made with love. Any gathering hmong food taste better than this lol

If you’re thinking about this place…don’t. I didn’t expect much but when almost everything on the menu is out and the only thing to order is dried meat and cold rice I have a problem. Yeah I went back thinking it was just that day, no more. Do yourself a favor and cook at home it’ll be ten times better trust me. The straw that broke the camels back was being handed a can of Pepsi.

Like a previous poster stated the smell of rotten meat is very nauseating. The chopsticks on the table was dirty the tea looked cloudy and speed rank.. Service has horribly slow so I informed the waitress I was leaving and the owner a lady camd out and tried to make me pay she has So hateful. There hardly any business and I can see why. Nauseating smell, nasty utensils, rude staff Do yourself a favor avoid this place

u can give a negative I would. I attended an event. All night I entered and exited multiple times for a smoke break. Towards the end of the evening (10:30pm), I needed to take another smoke break. At this particular time, a male employee informed me that there is an re-entry fee. I asked him why. He shrugged and replied, “You can ask the owner.” Pointing at her. So I reconfirmed with her. She started making excuses. 1. Due to capacity. If you leave you must pay a reentry fee of $20. 2. She didn’t like the traffic from the entrance. 3. For the saftey of her of everyone. Please just stay and not smoke no more. They will be closing in 2 hrs anyway.

If your going to eat here I say just keep on driving and go to Duck n good down the road where the food is fresh and warm plus the owner cares more about there customers then just money.

If I could I would give this ZERO stars. Never opened! Runned down! What kind of business runs this way! Food probably sucks too probably the reason why they aren’t open.
