What People Say
Most Liked
Customers rave about the friendly staff and the fast service that make every dining experience enjoyable. The diverse menu caters to all preferences, but Vietnamese dishes like pho steal the spotlight with their rich flavors and generous portions. Many diners appreciate the incredible value for the quantity and quality of food, often leaving with leftovers. The addition of healthy options, vegan dishes, and organic ingredients enhances the restaurant's appeal, making it a go-to for health-conscious eaters. Additionally, patrons love the delightful selection of teas and cocktails, perfectly complementing their meals.
Most Disliked
Some diners have noted the occasional inconsistency in ingredient quality, especially regarding mushrooms in certain dishes. While fresh ingredients generally shine, expectations are sometimes let down by the use of canned varieties in a few meals. The vibrant Friday evening crowds can overwhelm the service at peak times, leading to longer waits, which can detract from the overall experience for some visitors. Despite these minor critiques, the restaurant maintains a great reputation, as most reviews highlight the positive aspects far more than the negatives.

Looks like a Vietnamese owner recently purchased the restaurant so it offers a wide selection of Chinese food and a decent variety of Vietnamese food. We opted for two Vietnamese dishes. Both were delicious! My dish had fresh bok choy that was perfectly cooked. My only criticism is that they need to use fresh mushrooms and not canned. The service was great. The restaurant was clean and pleasant.

I'm so glad we stopped here. They had some of the best pho I've ever had. I was tempted to buy another bowl to go. The amount they give you are good sized but I still didn't want to share it with my husband.

Friendly owner and lots of vegan options! They gave me veggie-fried rice (no egg) on the house! A $10 dish otherwise! I ordered the sweet and sour tofu and my friend ordered broccoli with cashews. Tofu was DEFINITELY more on the sweet side than sour haha but tasted great mixed with the fried rice! Each serving is a LOT of food enough for 2 people easily. I eat a lot more than others and i STILLhad leftovers for lunch! Good value, good variety, great taste.

The food was actually so delicious. I highly recommend their “Dinner for one” with orange chicken, which is deep fried. 10/10, 100% yummy!

A gem of a place in the high desert country of Susanville. Outstanding food. Wor awon Ton Soup, Cashew Chicken, and Seasame Chicken meals were outstanding, and the Pot Sticker were great, too. They are different, but great! Highly recommend to the locals or those of us that are just passing through. Peace
