We've been wanting to try this place for a while. It's really tasty! We started with the pork spring rolls with peanut sauce. The rolls were fresh and a good size, just not enough pork in them. I had the clay pot with chicken. It was so good! Plenty of veggies, chicken and rice. My bf had the noodle bowl with chicken. Also very good! Fresh ingredients and flavorful. The waitress was friendly & attentive. The place was clean and quiet. They have a tv showing the latest sports game but no volume, which I prefer. We were able to find parking right in front of the restaurant but we went just before the dinner rush.

By far the best Vietnamese food in Rio Rancho. Remarkably better than other restaurants across the entire menu. Fresh, flavorful, and quality ingredients. Friendly staff and owner. Never disappointed! Best Clay Pot in central New Mexico — perfecto!

Impressed with the food flavor. I recommend you try the egg noodles shrimp or chow fun noodle. The Thai tea was good but not the best. It didn’t taste like a strong tea with creamy flavor. Customer service was beyond great. Clean environment. yummy ...

There are some pretty bad reviews on here, maybe you just need to stay away from certain menu items. Our food was delicious and our service was great! The beef stew with lemongrass broth and udon was PHENOMENAL. Give it a try!

They are very consistent with the food being perfect every time. My food is always fresh and hot. The staff are very attentive and PHENOMENAL humans! Great find! Very clean and inviting. Definitely worth it! This is my absolute favorite restaurant.
