We stopped here on our way out of town and I’m so glad we did. I got the steak pho, my daughter got pho no meat but added the seasoned boiled egg, and my husband got pork fried rice that had big pieces of pork belly in it as well as fried dumplings. Everything tasted great and the servers were all super nice.

This used to be my go to spot for pho with my friends for dine in and take-out but the past few visits I’ve been disappointed. The garnishes are going bad and rotting the pass few visits and this seems to be a common issue here based off other reviews. I guess I’ll start going somewhere else.

What a find! Delicious food in the Asian style I’ve been craving. The place is small and tricky to find, but it is so worth it. The seating area is also limited, but there’s more room outside as well. The food itself is the star.

I was in the area and craving good noodles. I was happy to find it! There’s limited seating. However service was fast and friendly around 4:30pm on a Sunday. The miso broth from the Pork Belly Zen Ramen just hit all the marks. It’s umami was so robust and all the topics just added to the filling meal. Towards the end it was a tad too salty and I couldn’t finish it. Great meal about $20 after tips.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the customer service and food was so good I felt like I had to tell the world. I will say that I wasn’t a huge fan of the wings ( I rate them 2/5). Make sure to bring your appetite as the portions will leave you satisfied and then some.

Great food, service and experience. The spicy Korean rice with chicken had the heat going on. Minus points for being seated next to the ice machine in the dining area. Noisy… Great food though. Will be back in-person or carry out.
