    This little gem is so unique-looks like a donut shop (which it is) but also has great Chinese food and pho. I love the War Wonton soup here and also the sesame chicken and almond chicken. Everything is always fresh and hot and flavored beautifully. A little unconventional but great food at a great cost!

    I remembered 5 years ago when I first came across this donut shop.  I immediately questioned the presence of Pho here. Turns out, there's also Chinese food in the mix. I had my doubts but what I had actually turned out to be great.

    The donuts are always fresh and have just the right amount off sweetness. On a side note, I'm not a donut person and I'm not into things that are too sweet. (Though I will say that a doughboy's donut is an exception. Haha.)The times I've been here, I always run into people that love their donuts.

    I finally got to try out their pho and Chinese food. My husband got the pho and I got the schezuan eggplant, walnut shrimp, and egg drop soup.

    The eggplant was huge in portion with lots of fresh onions, garlic and carrots. Though not as salty as I'm used to in other restaurants, it still was yummy. I practically ate the whole dish.

    The egg drop soup was your standard soup. Fresh, with bits of veggies and fresh eggs. My kids enjoyed it.

    The honey walnut shrimp had nice big quality shrimp with ok batter and wasn't drenched too much in sauce. The walnuts are key in this dish and they weren't crunchy at all.  The glaze was also lacking.

    I didn't have a chance to taste the pho in its entirety but I did get a chance to taste the broth. It was good and I can't wait to taste a bowl for myself.

    They have extra treats on the side including Chinese bbq pork buns and Kolach(slightly sweet puffy dough balls stuffed with savory fillings). Depending on the day, they have their usual few options for Kolach available.  

    Their bbq pork bun is just ok. Living in San Francisco, I became a bbq pork snob haha, so my standards are high.  I'm used to a bigger, more flavorful and packed with more filling, bun.  Their bun reminded me of the bun from honey bakery.  

    The kolache on the other hand was great. Bigger and more fulfilling. They're really fun to eat and very convenient for people on the go.  You can't go wrong with them.

    I've seen pictures of other people's food and can't wait to try their Singapore noodles (basically curry vermicelli noodles with veggies as meat, and hopefully egg) and also their chow fun. Looks good to me.

    They have tables inside and also have bobba that I have yet to try. Vegetarian menu available.  Customer service is always friendly.

    Being next to lots of food options, it's easy to miss them. I would suggest for people to check out this place.

    If you're looking you try the kolach, try calling first to see if it's available. I was told that the other location will be having them more often. Also, they start serving hot foods at 11am.

    I have never had the pleasure of saying "Gimme an order of Beef Chow Mein, a Bubble drink oh and a Chocolate covered Eclair.

    This tiny little gem is tucked away in a strip mall next to Subway down the way from Flowing Tide 2 and Chocolate Walrus.

    On our first visit, Mrs. E decides on the Green Bean dish. After a few moments they politely inform us they are running short on green beans. Rather than stiff us with a smaller portion, we have the option of ordering something completely different orrrr they can make up the difference with another vegetable. So she will be having Green Beans and Broccoli.

    Large portion and very tasty veggies. I feel the Chow Mein had too much onion. They use a delectable bok choy (to which I'm pleasantly surprised) and the perfect amount of beans, and noodles. This was excellent enough for a return visit.

    Rest assured the Eclair was yum!

    Customer service is great. Food is tasty and inexpensive. The place is clean. It's close to the airport if you need a quick fix for pho. This place also has some Chinese dishes. This restaurant is on a corner, so there's plenty of parking. Swing by if you're in town.
