Went inside 7/17/23 and AC wasn't working properly. Only 2 other people inside eating. Employees all sitting in front of fans, but none pointing towards tables. Did not stay long enough to eat. Please get the AC fixed or close until it's fixed. It's 101° outside today.

The food was outstandingso delicious and fresh. I had the vermicelli with pork and hubs got the calamari and chicken wings. However, the fried rice was not very good at all, and the service we had was not that great, we waited over 10 minutes to get a drink. The other staff were very helpful though. Worth it just for the food. Yummmm

Another Chinese-Vietnamese fusion restaurant convenient nearby so you won't have to drive to Bellaire or go to Tay Do. This place tends to get crowded sometimes, and the food is almost the same as most of the Chinese-Viet restaurants here in Houston.Our meal which was ca kho, muc rang muoi, garlic butter wings, hu tieu xao, and canh chua were alright w/ a 3-4 rating. Although the distance is fair enough, I would rather go to Tay Do for better Chinese-Viet food.

This place moved to a new location. Which is a plus for me! Closer to my area. I ordered the lotus salad and spring rolls. The lotus salad by far is so delicious. The bad part, I found a couple of hairs in the salad. I was disgusted and disappointed. Sucks.

Service was eh but food was pretty good. It came out fairly quickly and everything had flavor. We did family style, the portions are really great to share. The environment was clean. Eggrolls - the size of the eggrolls are huge! I wasn't expecting that. The lettuce however tasted weird... like dirty sink water.Birds nest with seafood was good.Water spinach - only complaint was there was a lot of stems, I prefer the leafy partCrispy beef flat noodles - they even pre cut the crispy noodles ahead of time so that made it really convenient. Full of flavor. Highly recommend. My favorite thing we ordered. Beef sate- was ok, I probably wouldn't order it again. It wasn't anything worth recommending.If you like clams i also recommend it with the black sauce. It was tasty!
