Recently moved to Tri, looking for a new fave .. found it! Food was delicious, service was friendly, and fast.
The Pho was amazing! My husband and i have tried all the Pho in tri cities and this one is definitely the best one. The sole waitress running the whole thing was fast and efficient great customer service. 5 star experience both times we’ve been
It’s my favorite restaurant in all of the Tri Cities. I would eat there every day for every meal if I could. They have the best spring rolls in town. Very soft and tightly wound. They are small so it’s easier to eat than most of the other Vietnamese places in town. The pho is wonderful, the curry is awesome and the pad see eww is the best. Love this place so much just wish it was open for dinner.
Posted here is Lao Kitchen's chicken laab. (It was well-seasoned and incredibly fresh, served with a side of sticky rice, though one may select un-sticky rice instead.) Not only is the service impeccable -- and my entire order showed up with 15 minutes, cooked perfectly -- but prices are reasonable and the interior is very clean.
I ordered Yakisoba for me. It’s different than Japanese style but it’s really tasty! I feel more like Yakima-Udon this store Yakisoba.
I LOVE pho!! And this place def met my expectations on authentic tasting pho. The broth was flavorful, you can ask for chili oil (that’s actually spicy). I also recommend trying their Thai iced coffee and egg rolls. Will be going back!!!!!!! Worth the drive!!!!
Another great local gem! Thai and Vietnamese cuisine on this menu, and what we had was delicious! Spring rolls were amazingly fresh, Phad Thai was spicy, and the Beef and Meatball Pho and Chicken Pho were piping hot and really savory. Quick note: I really like spicy food, but we ordered a 2.5 out of 5 stars on the spice scale, and it was still very spicy! Be forewarned that even if you adore spicy food, you may want to be a bit conservative on the spice scale. Still, an excellent find and an excellent lunch! An Amboy A!
A family run gem of a restaurant where the focus is on the food, the food, and the food. It’s exquisite and delicious. You know you’re in for a treat in a small restaurant when the owner is in the kitchen, the owner’s polite and efficient teenage sons are running the front of the house, and the food comes out on Corelle to people eating voraciously and happily around you. Don’t miss this one. Update 2026: same owners, same awesome food.
The food was incredible, and the butterflies were very tasty. The pho was flavorful and delicious. The music created a warm, nostalgic vibe, reminding me of my younger days, and the staff were incredibly friendly.
Delicious! It was my first time trying pho, and it was amazing! The broth tasted fresh and hearty, and I loved the cilantro and basil. I also loved the amount of sprouts they added on the side. The butterflies were very creamy and perfectly fried, I do wish the sauce was a bit thicker. The Thai Iced Tea had the perfect amount of sweetness to it, too!
