Stopped in for lunch yesterday for the first time. The owner was very nice and gave me a great recommendation. The vietnamese dish I tried was outstanding. He told me to put the sauce over the dish and mix well. It was like a sweet vinegar and chili flavor. I will definitely be back again.

We're so glad this place has reopened for dine in AND it's under new management!!!! You'll find a great mix of Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese food. We had to sample them all. The bahn mi is fantastic. The bun has a wonderful crust and is tender on the inside. I had the pork. It was sweet and spicy and yummy. I love nam sod. They had larb gai which was close enough for me. It was just spicey enough and a great way to start our meal. The server recommended the Vietnamese house vermicelli. OMG! It was out of this world. Order this. You will not be disappointed. I also ordered the spicy basil noodles and Mongolian beef. Two standards and they were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant. They do take out as well.

Their Vietnamese food is worth skipping out on Mall Of Georgia if you’re in the Flowery Branch/Braselton area. Go see them. Try the pho and taste what real pho broth should taste like. Rich in flavor. You don’t need to add more fish sauce to make up for other places weak broth. Haven’t had their other dishes yet. Will be back.

Enjoyed a very nice Thai lunch of soup and entree. I like pretty spicy and the Thai extra hot seasoning in both the Tom Yum soup and the Pad Prik were wonderful. Sometimes when trying a new Thai place it’s hard to talk them into very spicy, but this first visit was great! Service was pleasant and speedy for lunch. Looking forward to a return visit.

Tasty food, busy when I walked in, so that’s good indication. No clear indication on what to do. Meaning, do you go and order food and sit and wait for it? Do you sit and wait for a waitress? I ended up ordering to go. Food not spicy so ask for spicy on the side. I ordered veggie pad Thai.

I think there is a change of management as 4 years ago when I tried this restaurant first time, I did not like their food. I gave 3 starts. I went back again couple of weeks ago and was quite surprised with the quality and taste of the food. Plus, staff was quite nice and welcoming. Changing my review to 5 starts.

Quick service and friendly staff! The bah mi sandwich was great! My sister got the green curry and enjoyed it. I recommend the pho. The bean sprouts and toppings were fresh. The soup broth was flavorful.

I no longer have to travel 45 minutes to an hour if I want delicious PHO as the GOLDEN PHOENIX RESTAURANT in Buford is much closer to me than Duluth is. The menu has both THAI and CHINESE items on their menu so you can get whichever cuisine you are feeling like. The PHO is perfect and their GENERAL TSO CHICKEN is cooked to perfection with a slight crisp and spicy level that doesn't make you quit Service is always great with an extremely quiet environment, at least when I've gone over. I always see people come in for pick up but I always prefer my food eaten right away If you've never had PHO... I beg you... Please stop by and order yourself a bowl and let me know what you think!! #rolieats #goodfoods #goodeats #thaifood #chinesefood #whynotboth #pho #generaltso #ricerolls #iorderedeverything #iwasfull #noregrets
