Real review excerpts
Closed for several days! So annoying...🤣 We really like the papaya salad here. Mae Noi's Lao-style papaya salad: 10 out of 10, I'd give it 100! (I love it!) Saigon-style papaya salad: Absolutely amazing! So spicy and flavorful!
The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The ingredients are fresh, clean, and there's a wide variety of papaya salad and Vietnamese dishes to choose from.
Great service and attentiveness to every customer. The food is fresh, clean, and delicious.
