Did not honor my restaurant.com certificates and I feel very discarded, disrespected, and disappointed. But the food was ok and I will give them another try one day before I totally give a awful review

It took quite awhile to get our food after ordering. The server apologized and explained that there had been a customer order mix up. (inferred it was a large take out order but not sure) Due to the wait initial reaction was to not come back BUT the food was great and the server's repeated apology changed our minds

Delicious food. Maybe not totally authentic Vietnamese but still great. Example: Vietnames chicken salad has shredded vegetables, mostly cabbage, and shredded chicken. The one I had did not resemble this, but still was great and I would order it again.

I had a fish fry and it was the worst fish fry I've ever had they also charged me more for the items I ordered then what was on the menu. They charged me 18% Gratuity even though it was not stated on this certificate I ended up spending more than I would have not using the certificate if I was charged regular menu prices and left a 15% tip like I usually do. I'm not sure if I would have left a tip though because of the poor food quality and being overcharged for what i ordered.

I would of definitely went again but 1/2 lb of shrimp was 8 shrimp...large fries were almost a full small bowl of fries. The chicken wings had alot of fat. My kids did love the chicken. It was my first time I would of thought better service and a quality amount of food. I really would of came back but now I won't.

Very strange. When we ordered, we were told it was dine in only which we said we knew. We ordered and ate and had a few leftovers. We asked for a box, the usual 'doggy bag' when you dine out and want to take home what you didn't finish. The owner did not want us to have a box because it was dine in only! After some discussion, he gave us one box. I never heard of a restaurant that would did not want you to graciously give you a 'doggy bag'. Because of this very poor business attitude, without the coupon, we will not dine here again. Very distasteful and unnecessary!
