    Oh my goodness what an incredible place, I wish I were in Des Moines longer so I could try more from the menu! The Pho was wonderful, and the Crab Rangoon was a great surprise. So glad I followed the ‘Local Bites’ signs here!

    So I came in the other day everything was good. I could feel the energy was kind off, but I also noticed that there was a new system and things which when things aren’t right it’s totally understandable that certain things can get overwhelmed, but I also noticed the owner, raising her voice to the employee, which intern can lead to people feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and kind of mistreated. I think the owner needs to work on her approach to things she was yelling about a receipt or something like that, and the poor girl was just trying to figure it out, And instead of her just calming down and trying to help her figure it out upfront, she was yelling at her, so I don’t blame the employee for walking out as they did because no one deserves that no matter the situation and to me every time I come there, she’s always sweet and nice. It’s unfortunate that the owner was kind of being an ass towards her cause every time I come in there to get food she has a great smile, respectful, and great customer service but I can tell it was off because of how she was treated and that’s not right and I hope the owner take some type of accountability and apologizes to them because somebody that’s working fast food, especially when you’re already trying and you’re being treated like it’s not good enough or because there’s a misunderstanding or a slight issue that doesn’t make it right. The girl upfront was trying to keep her composure. Keep a smile doing the best as she can with what she’s given even with a new system that she was trying to figure out With the receipts and orders so hopefully they come back just saying other than that foods good but the owner can use some patience, understanding and accountability for her actions especially when you’re the boss

    Came in the morning when it just opened. The shaken beef and especially the beef pho were good!

    Cashier that took order was rude and had an attitude about everything. When asked for anything such as veggies or question she would roll her eyes and huff. Blamed her attitude and rudeness on a “new” system. She also was over being there and tossed everything in the box. Multiple people in line behind us said “ good luck” as they too had the same experience. Hoping the food tastes better than the attitude we were given. Also paid $3 more for shrimp and didn’t get any at all.

    I love their spicy beef noodles. Sometimes, they have fried rice with shaken beef. Both flavor and portion are good. Check them out!!!
