A legendary local staple that has recently been renovated and improved under new management. Try any of the Vietnamese menu items, they are all good. Highly recommend the Cafe Sua Da as well!

This place is very clean and the atmosphere is calming. The decor is very nice too. The food was good. I dont think the crab rangoon had crab in it and I wish they had more spices to mix in the pho.

The staff is attentive and friendly, the service was quick and the portion sizes were very generous. Atmosphere was cozy and clean. Prices are very reasonable, and the food was absolutely amazing. Their pho was the best I've ever had, truly a 10/10. We also ordered off the Chinese part of the menu to go and each and every item was delicious. I'm stopping here whenever I find myself in Sioux City.

OK I was a little skeptical about finding really delicious Vietnamese food in this area but boy was I gob smacked. This restaurant is top-notch and I have eaten at Vietnamese restaurants from coast to coast. I ordered the Vietnamese crepe, which was delicious and I also got an appetizer one of their fresh spring rolls that was also delightful. If I’m ever back in town in that area, I’ll be visiting this place again thank you for the delicious lunch.

First time here. Found it through Google maps while looking for a authentic dumpling place. What we found from that is an excellent location for some of the best Chinese/Vietnamese food I've ever had. Cool interior which was super clean and warm and comfortable on a winter day. Go check them out.......I don't think you'll be disappointed

Food served hot and delicious! Restaurant clean and well organized tables. They have an awesome menu easy to decide what you want to order. The first time I dined inside with my family, the waitress did not seem pleasant to talk to at all. She didn't seem interested in helping us at all. We were ignored after our orders received and after we finished eating. So I was not interested in tipping her. I came back with my family for the second time and brought two guest along. This time we got a very nice welcoming waitress. She was nice to us so I made sure she got a big tip after checking out.

This restaurant is something you would find in the "Old Market" in Omaha. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The service was outstanding and the food was spectacular! It was seasoned nicely, flavorful, and fresh! Here is a pic of the kung-pao chicken. I haven't had such an authentic tasting dish like this in several years. I will be coming back. The serving was generous so I had a delicious lunch today! They serve the best, Jasmine tea!

Very good local Vietnamese place. Ownership changed some time ago, but the quality didn’t. In fact, they upgraded to make the place look nicer, while the food remained as good as it has always been. I’d tell you what my main dish is, but I modify it a lot, so it won’t do much good. However, I’m sure you can see the hot n sour soup and egg rolls. Food is made to order and fresh every time. Take out and dine in both. There is a nice variety of things to choose from on the menu. If you like this kind of food, you won’t be disappointed here. Give it a shot, and see what you think.
