Thai tea: 5 stars, not overly sweet which I prefer.Combination rice: boyfriend ate this and said it was 3.8 stars (haha). To be clear this was the rice with all the meatChicken pho: negative stars. I actually ordered the food to go and after taking two bites I ended up making something at home which was a huge bummer to waste money, especially when I bought food to relax for the night. Ive never had a broth that was SWEET and no where on their menu did they mention it being sweet. It tasted like cinnamon and licorice which most people either love or hate, I CANNOT stand!!! If theyre trying to do something different with a unique flavor profile, they should definitely label it on their menu!!Menu: 1 star. Their menu is very confusing and non discript. They dont explain the ingredients or what actually come with/on the itemsService: 3 stars. We ordered to go so please take this with a grain of salt. We waited about 20minutes for our order which was fine. The waitress asked if we were ready to order and we said no, she left and asked us about 45seconds later and when we said no again she rolled her eyes. Felt pressured so I panic ordered and it didnt turn out well for me lol.Overall $29 and I would not go there again, I much prefer Maui pho. If my boyfriend didnt have a decent experience I would give 0/5.But for real I will order Thai tea if you give it a shot

This type of food isnt my favorite but I saw they have orange chicken, so I ordered it as well as 2 other people in my group. It had several fried chicken pieces but when I tried one it was just breading. I tried another and it was a lot of breading and a little piece of chicken and I couldnt taste the chicken. I gave a piece to my mother and she pulled the chicken out from the breading and again it was small. It also had a smell to it that I cant describe but I just pushed the bowl away and quit eating. One of the others that ordered the same didnt like it either and quit eating hers as well. The waitress asked if I wanted something else and we both declined. She took the food away. One person had a duck plate of some sort and liked it. One person had tempura shrimp and said it was ok. One person had a shrimp bowl and liked it. I know I will never come back and 3 others said the same after we were presented with the checks and our 2 orange chicken bowls were there.. I dont believe that was right and we then paid the bills and left. The waitress was nice but I believe she should have taken care of those dishes since I only ate 3 pieces. Sorry I didnt take pictures. I definitely should have.
