Umami Bowl - Apple Valley

This place has the best customer service for a Vietnamese Pho-Platz!! I know the authentic places that only know ESL. But if you have any questions about pho, they will answer it for you. I really like that there are many types of food. I went with the pho not as a tasteful broth as I usually like, but chicken was delish. The round eyes steak pieces were a little big for my pleasure, so it was more difficult to eat, but still tasty. Noodles seemed a bit sticky for me. I personally don't like the white onions and Cilantro so glad they followed the order. I like the dumplings, soft but the ends had a little crisp. The tables are clean!! You get the sauces and bring it to your table... what too unfilled tables (especially with the big bowls). Had no chance to get bubble tea. I was hoping for royal tea... Cashier (owner) said they want to get it until summer. I saw it was under new ownership. Very friendly staff, always ask if you need anything. Like the food was, etc. I would come back to try something new and the dumplings.

Clean restaurant, good location and extremely friendly service (the person who took our order was really great)! The price seemed quite fair for the big portions. It took longer than I expected to get our order, but if you have a bigger order (we had 4 Entrees and 2 Bubble Teas), I would recommend ordering ahead if you want it to be ready quickly. The food was good, not the best Asian food I ever had, but still pretty good. Of all four dishes we tried, we liked the orange chicken best, and the pad Thai was also good. I can't say I recommend Buddha's Delight or Teriyaki Chicken... both seemed like the chicken was precooked and then put in the sauce instead of boiled in the sauce... As long as the food took for cooking, I would think the chicken should certainly taste like the sauce in which it is. So my recommendation would be to order one of the baked chicken options, Pad Thai, or possibly a curry (personally, I would like to try the yellow curry sometime). Tip: We used our entertainment book to get BOGO entrees and a free bubble tea, and I definitely recommend it!

First time here and it was amazing! The folks there couldn't be more friendly and helpful too! The lady there took the time to answer a lot of questions from me about the menu. I'll make this a regular spot for dinner now.

Food was phenomenal. Ordered a basic pad Thai, red curry, and the pho special. Portions were much more than I thought I would get for the price. Every sauce was incredible. The pho is the best I've had South of the river. If you don't want to make the trip to quangs, this is most definitely the spot. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Good food everywhere. I'm going back. The dumplings were beautiful and crispy and fluffy. Chicken cushion Thai was really good, maybe a little sweet, but not enough to get sick in the end. Worth the visit!
