★★★☆☆ 3.0 Choua · Dec 2025

They recently reopened at a new location over by NTC. The interior is super cute, full of flowers hanging all over the ceiling. Plenty of seating for many groups, much more seating than their previous location. We had a table of 7 on a Sunday morning. I honestly think they had an off day because the pho was very very salty.. ive never had pho that salty before served at a restaurant. I had to water it down twice, & gulped down my entire cup of water with it. Pad see ew was salty too. Papaya was really good though. We got it at "spicy" level and its actually pretty spicy so beware. Thai Boat was good. I will return one more time for their pho before making my mind up on my overall experience there.

Best bubble tea in town! Unique drinks, delicious mochi donuts, and flavorful food. Love how the drinks are sweet but refreshing and can taste variety of ingredients and not just sugar. Have tried the potato corndog and original. Preferred Original Corndog since seemed crispier and better cooked (potato was a little gooey inside, though still tasted amazing). Think elevated American corndog with delicious gooey cheese and way more textural variety! Ube Coconut Mochi Donut was very rich, dense, and chewy. Absolutely amazing. Frosting had a milky earthy flavor. Ube Taro Cloud drink was absolutely world-changing - creamy, refreshing, earthy, coconutty, not too sweet. Cookies & Cream Boba was a chocolate-lovers dream. Love how soft and chewy the boba is - have had some hard boba in lesser-

Asian reviewer here. Been waiting for this place to grow from its last location. Food is home cooked taste with Hmong, Lao, and Thai fusions. Korean corn dogs, mochi donuts, and bubble tea for the kids. Cannot beat what this little restaurant has to offer. Service has improved since opening and quality of food has not disappointed. Atmosphere is family friendly or with a hint of romantic. Pho-natics this is a must try place, get the boat noodle, just do it. Oh, and their Large bowls are XL size.

★★★★★ 5.0 Josie Olejniczak · Feb 2026

The new atmosphere is so beautiful and the mochi donuts were DELICIOUS. my friends and I so were ready to go in and get more. Anyone who’s saying they don’t like this place is totally gatekeeping bc I ADORED every moment. They were quite quick, the location was well renovated and modernly updated, and I just felt so welcomed. Good job yall.
