Very good service!!! Any other truckers out there traveling Interstate 75, and have a craving for sushi, this is the place to call. I took the exit ramp 382, parked on the shoulder, called in my order, and was eating sushi within 20 mins. That's what you call CURB service. Try the Crunchy Rolls.......excellent!

My husband and I love this place. The bach thai is out of this world, and we eat here every weekend. It is the highlight of my week. I have been to many vietnamese restaurants and this one has the best service in town. There soups are very good,as are many of their dishes. Nice family-owned business.

This place is not an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. It's a shame that they claim to be one. The food is not at all Vietnamese, and I guess they try to cater too much to what they think Americans would want, and this makes the food less authentic. This place is also a Chinese food place and they sell sushi (Japanese). One helpful hint if you're looking for a real 'Asian' experience when you're dining out, see if real Asians eat there. That's a sure way to tell if what you're getting is real. Two places I would suggest instead of this are Saigon Legend (also on University, near the hotel), and Taste of Saigon II (you have to drive kind of far from UF campus to get there, but it's worth it).
Prices aren't that great, either.

Good food, but they changed the coconut milk curry dish and the crunchy roll and now they both suck.

Coming from somebody who loves to eat Vietnamese food AND sushi, this place can't be beat. The food is ALWAYs consistently good and never once had a bad meal. The sushi is also excellent. there is something for everyone on the menu, and you won't break your wallet either. I've been to dozens of vietnamese rest. and this one is by far the best!!!!

If you like greasy dark meat chicken then you have found the place you would like. But if you like white meat (breasts & wings) you won't find any here on their buffet.
