Overall good little spot. Nothing fancy. Good food. I think the beef stew could use some work.
I’ve been coming here for over 7 years now. It’s my go-to Asian restaurant! Best egg rolls and spring rolls in town. Coming from a big city where Vietnamese cuisine is HUGE, this place was the one I always came back to. They bring a little piece of home to Lubbock. Staff has rotated throughout the years but service always remained the same. Very nice people and such a chill spot to go hang out after a long day at work. Never disappoints!
I'm a fan of oriental cuisine so when I found out there was another Vietnamese place near my house, I rushed over to settle my noodle fix. I didn't regret it either. The whole experience was nice (unlike the other place nearby...)
Like I said, I was really craving noodles when I went in so I was relieved when I saw that had several different kinds of noodle dishes on their menu, along with some other good stuff. The price range is about $3.25 - $20.50 for entrees and appetizers and $2.50 - $5 for drinks and extras, including the ones in the fridge near the front counter, so it's not too expensive to eat here. The place was relatively clean and tidy and the fish tank nearby was a nice little touch of atmosphere. I wasn't sure why there was a disco ball in the dining room but that's just me. The female cashier, Tammy, was really pleasant as well. I was totally comfortable with her service.
As far as food went, I went with the Hu Thieu Saigon: the clear noodle soup, with shrimp, pork, and crab. It was pretty good! The noodles were nice and tender as with the shrimp, and the crab was surprisingly delicious. They even give you a side of bean sprouts and cilantro to put in the soup. The broth was a nice, mild flavor that went well with the noodles. They'll also let you order even more noodles to put in the leftover broth, for an extra $3.75. It's little steep but the clear noodles were kinda hard for them to come by so I let it go. My only complaint was the pork. It was kinda dry...
Overall, this is a place I'd totally recommend. I'll be coming back to try something new, next time around. Just be wary as, according to Tammy, the pandemic sometimes makes hours fluctuate a bit.
Amazing as usual. I have been going here for 20 years and it is always excellent. Although there are tons of great food options my favorite is the C-23 shredded pork in garlic sauce. I have never found another restaurant that does it like they do and so consistently. I now live in Austin but when I'm in town I always make it a point to eat here. If you like Vietnamese food definitely give them a shot you will not be disappointed.
We were visiting Lubbock and found this place online. We walked in and realized after several minutes that it was a self-service (order at counter then find a place to sit). Overall, the food was good but I felt that the beef and broccoli could have been more flavorful.
Always incredible food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend.
