How is Vietnamese food differ from Chinese and Japanese? Love to try it out but before I go, I want to insure I would like it. I LOVE the others.

To simply answer that question, culture and agriculture within the region makes the food different. I love Chinese and Japanese food, and have dabbled in Viatnamese food, and am also enjoying myself. I would start off with Pho. For myself, I would be willing to take a risk at a different cultural dish for $10 (relative cost of most Viatnamese dishes).

The glass noodle chicken was outstanding. Very small business with very little space. Employees don't speak much English, but the food is authentic and delicious

This is one of my favorite restaurant hands down (and I’m not easily impressed when it comes to food). I have traveled the world and tried all types of food and this satisfies my Thai/Asian cravings consistently. You want delicious food, you go here. I’ve been coming here for over a year and everything on the menu is genuinely delicious and not watered down. The owners are the kindest people. They’re always checking on you, offering you anything to make your experience pleasant, and always making you laugh and smile. Great/low prices for everything (there has been a dollar increase on a couple of items due to COVID but I’m happy to support). The restaurant is small and mellow and all your food comes out within minutes of ordering. Very impressed and happy.

Spring rolls were great. So was shrimp fried rice. It was my first time trying pho, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But it seemed like it was done very well.Staff was super friendly.If you go in March 2017, it may be slow, since he has not gotten his "real" grill/oven yet. Prior to easily April, he has a small cooking unit... So make sure you come with people whose company you enjoy! There is not a big menu here, but that is countered by the high quality of the food.

BEST. PHO. IN TOWN. (Sorry everyone else, step the game up) The vietnamese coffee is great. The apps are great. The bubble tea is best on town. Cant recommend this enough. Also, the banh mi is excellent! If this isn't one of your go to spots, you aren't doing it right.

Wow. Amazing! A good Pho is in the broth, and their broth is some of the best I've had! Fresh made to order shrimp spring rolls are a must have starter, just be sure to ask for extra dipping sauce, you'll need it, because it's awesome. In asking for my extra sauce I caught him in the middle of making my mango smoothie, he had to put the mango down he was peeling for it. That's fresh! The couple that owns the restaurant cooks and serves everything themselves. They are sweet, friendly and funny, and there when ever you need them.My only regret is that this restaurant has been around for a year and a half, but I'm just now finding it. This is now in our weekly rotation!

Best Pho we've ever had! I get the beef combo and my wife and son split a large beef meatball. The pho tastes fresh and delicious. My son(4yr old), who is picky about soups really enjoys it! The price point is just right and Tony is seeking to please his customers.

Usually very good food and service....Today ordered my same drink twice(jolly ranger) on 2 separate occasions...but was made very different each time.... The 1st one was perfect but the last one didn't even have the mango bits that are advertised for that drink. I did not appreciate this and was very disappointed. Won't be going back anytime soon. *edit* Went Back.... Much Better with drinks!

I went on 8-8-2020 and I had the BEST experience ever ! We only ordered bubble tea which was honestly so good ! But the worker named Brian was so sweet ! He was genuinely nice and told us about his family and asked about ours ! He also let us sample some of his favorite things which he did not have to do but he did 🧡 He should definitely get a raise and much more he honestly was the best workers I’ve had in my life ! And I will return many times in the future 🧡

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! At first, this was a hard place to find... (it's behind Pokenori) When I enter the restaurant, it smells so nice and it feels like I'm in Vietnam!! I ordered their spring rolls and combo pho which really traditional (which makes me happy!) If you live in Spartanburg and don't want to go to Greenville for some nice pho or other classic Vietnamese dishes then this is a great place.

Brought my wife here for the first time and was disappointed. The pho we had was very salty to the point where I didn't even eat it. Just paid and left, i did notify them on how the broth was over seasoned. It may have been an off day for them but I personally wouldn't be back based on this experience.

So friendly and absolutely delicious. Laid back feel like you're in someone's home. The food was exceptional and now I know why everyone raves about it. I recommend trying different things or speaking to the chefs to tell them what you're thinking and they'll make suggestions.
