Dynamite pig's foot soup

by rosmarinus

I love this place and it is one of the few places besides Costco where my husband will eat. They do a good job on whatever I, or my friends, have ordered. The portions are generous and with a group, each ordering something different, and serving family style we all eat well.

• Pros: Food! Inexpensive, reservations taken for a larger group
• Cons: there's extra parking behind the shell station

I really feel welcomed here

by gamzehyaavor

I feel like the staff treats me like they know me, even though I don't go there THAT often. They really treat me (and everyone else) really well. I don't feel like they are put out by feeding me my lunch! And what a delicious lunch it is... Sometimes I get a belly ache from it afterwards, but I think it may be because a careless cook gets some fish sauce (which I'm allergic to) or something along those lines in my food. They are usually pretty careful though, and the food is good enough that it's worth the risk.

A+++ Service and Food!

by hales1204

This place was recommended to me by a co-worker and I can absolutely agree with everything she likes about this restaurant. We came in on a Tuesday night around 730 and were seated promptly with a smile. The service was wonderful and friendly. They made me feel at ease with the menu by explaining what I should try and what their most popular dishes were. The food was served warm, fresh and quick! It was a delicious meal that I will definitely indulge in again!

• Pros: Friendly service and great food!
• Cons: Ambience, parking

Really great food - if you can get seated

by arthro

Anchorage's preemier Vietnamese restaurant - great great food, very very crowded.

This is a success story - excellent world food, unfortunately so well-known and popular it is often difficult to get seated.

Delicious traditional fare, beautiful decor, good prices, close to many state offices and large healthcare facilities. Why are they so damn crowded all the time? (see last statement)

This is the best Vietnamese food I have ever had, service and prices are good to great - but the hassle of getting in somewhat dims the beauty (at least for me - but that's just me.)

• Pros: fantastic food, good prices, nice ambience
• Cons: too popular, too crowded, too bad!
