“The service and atmosphere was really good, I felt like my minimal needs were met and it was the right vibe. The food could use some improvement; we felt was not salted enough and the sauce did not match the food we were eating. Our server, who was also a manager, was very prompt and provided good service. I wish this business alot of success and looking forward to supporting them in the future.”

“Came here on a Sunday with a group of 4. We had pho, Papaya salad, fish laab, Vietnamese iced coffee, eggrolls and wontons. My fav was the Papaya salad. It had so much flavor. The pho was decent, just way too much bro to get it to my tasting. The eggrolls and wontons were a bit plain for me. The coffee was super water down for me. It didn't help that the service took so long.”

“I ordered pork belly laab, raw beef laab, steamed catfish, and a side of sticky rice. I waited for roughly 40-50 mins for my order and this is what I got when I got home. Don't get me wrong. All the staff were nice and friendly but this food got me messed up. Looks like someone ran over my food and dumped it in a Styrofoam container for me. The sticky rice may look full but some areas had the dried up and hard sticky rice. Do better please. I paid almost $60 for this.”

“Just got in a little late last night and made a stop at Cups and Cheers for dinner before heading to our destination. Its been a long 10hr. Drive. Found out they had $5 special on Pho Tuesday so had to order me a bowl of course. Also order fried chicken and papaya salad lao style. Atmosphere was nice, our server she was good and tentative. Now onto the food. 1. Not sure what went wrong on the pho or do they usually serve it like that I'm not sure all I know is all it taste like was a Bowl of Hot water soup. Im not even exaggerating straight like hot water. 2. The Fried chicken has a nice battered and it came.out looking good. BUT look can be deceiving cos these got no seasoning what so ever on it, add a little salt would be nice. 3. Papaya Lao Style came out the same looks good but man was that blend also. Need some lime, msg, sugar, Tamarind the whole nine yard to bring up any flavor. Would I still go back definitely even with a low score. I don't remember it being this bad. Probably caught them on a off night. They still have other food on the menu thats usually pretty.”
