I only ordered the pork belly and roasted duck. Pork belly was really good. The skin was very crispy vs other Hmong places I’ve been to. The roasted duck is not Chinese duck, more simple taste but I very enjoyed it. I will try the brisket next time I’m there.

I’m disappointed….. I REALLY wanted pork belly and what I received was not pork belly. Still tasted ok, but NOT what I paid for. Brisket is totally not brisket; just some random over cooked, tough beef. Sai krok (meatballs) were also a let down. It was like biting into mush; the noodle filling were so over cooked and flavor was lacking. The papaya salad was ok. Banh mi was also okay; at least they used actual pork belly chunks like I ordered for this item. Spent over $70….not worth it. I would like to give them another try, just to see if they would actually give me the real pork belly chunks like they advise. But that voice in the back of my head is telling me don’t waste any more money with this place. I don’t recommend this place. You will get better food at Hmong Village.

Pretty good. I really liked the papaya salad. The brisket had good flavor but it was more tough than I’d like. Pork belly skin was very crispy, however it it wasn’t my favorite. The pepper sauce was tasty. Nice people as well. Very inconsistent hours, as others have stated.

Love the pork belly. It is perfectly cooked, tender and crispy skin. Brisket is a bit tough and would recommend it to be slow cooked longer to be tender. Otherwise flavors on point.

I love this place! I personally think it’s super affordable. From the other reviews, yes, their hours do vary, however, they do update their hours daily on their Facebook page. I would recommend checking their Facebook page an hour before their actual working hours. It is based on a FCFS, so I would also recommend getting there before 1 PM. As far as the actual food, my husband loves their roast pork and I love the pork belly. I can only give you a review on what I actually eat. The pork belly is deliciously crispy. Obviously depending on what part of the meat piece you get, the fat to meat ratio can vary. I’ve eaten here enough to thoroughly say that I’ve been ‘meh’ about it only once. 10/10 would recommend.

I am in love with this place. Amazing food, the owner is super kind. The pork belly, stuffed sausages, the pork skin chips, and the duck laab are my favorite things to get there. The sticky rice is always perfect and I highly recommend both the red and the white sauce.

Those sensitive to “spicy food” beware! The food is excellent, we tried all of the entree combos, except the laab. The sticky rice was great too. My wife and I can generally tolerate up to a 5 or 6 (on a scale of 1 to 10) for spice. The sauce and papaya salad went well beyond our modest capacities and our children’s intolerance. If you love scovilles, be sure to check them out.
