2008-02-24 15:46:53   I am a vegetarian so unlike some of the comments by the meat eating food snobs this is one of my favorite restaurants. The variety of Asian cuisine is extensive for such a small restaurant, the staff are friendly and inviting and the food and flavors are exceptional. Note to food snobs: Have you checked their prices? If you want filet mignon then go to an expensive steak/slaughter house. —RichieGuy

2008-02-24 22:22:28   In defense of my fellow "meat eating food snobs", I must point out that there is quite a sizeable range between the meat served at Flavor of Asia and filet mignon and "we - the meat lovers" do know not to expect the latter. This is going to sound crazy but there exist plenty of standards between mediocrity and excellence.

Citing the low prices as an excuse for the poor quality of meat at this restaurant shows a lack of understanding about meat in general. Believe it or not, you don't need filet mignon to put out a quality non vegetarian dish. Just ask any of the good Asian restaurants.

Either way, please understand that those who actually eat meat have a better idea of what is good and what is not for the price on the menu. And there is no need to adopt such a snooty tone when addressing those who eat meat - especially when the one adopting the tone has chosen not to engage in that choice. —OneLove

2008-06-24 23:31:09   I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS restaurant!!!!! The service was great,and the food was good too. I had the pho and the meat in it was perfectly cooked. I i also liked the steamed leak and shrimp dumplings and the shu-mai. My friend also enjoyed the rice roles he said it was a perfect blend of flavor. After i had the mango sticky rice. The owner came out and mingled with us. although i have only been here 3 times. —bcto69

2008-07-28 20:37:23   It is now closed on Mondays, but I didn't notice if the rest of the hours are still the same. —RachelBlumenthal

2008-11-16 01:34:29   Over two years later, and some of their dishes have changed slightly, but it's still one of my favorite restaurants. —AdamDurand

Try the turnip cakes and vermicelli bowl with fried tofu. Service is friendly and quick. This is one of our favorite restaurants that we frequent 1-3 times per month. —TrishHeckmann

2009-02-28 08:54:50   My fiance and I have eaten food from here, but until last night, we had never eaten inside. The food was outstanding, as always, and our server (who was tasked with working the entire dining area) made us feel like the only customer he had. That's pretty incredible seeing that it was Friday night and the room was nearly full. I recommend the hot and sour soup, the walnut shrimp dish and lots of rice. It's so good! —BatGuano

2009-04-12 13:40:18   I have always been impressed with this restaurant, based on my 3-ish visits. The portion size has been large and the quality high as well. Today we were very happy with our Dim Sum choices — chinese greens with garlic (large portion perfectly sauteed for $3.50), turnip cake with egg, and leek/shrimp eggroll.

The service has always been top-notch as well — the waiters have always been friendly and attentive. —LePetitChien

2009-04-15 19:50:29   vermicelli bowl with chicken and extra cilentro!!! yum! —NancyOdonnell

2009-05-28 14:10:47   i love this restaurant! great variety of different asian cuisines, although their vietnamese is highly superb! considerate, attentive, and friendly staff, fun little restaurant to be in. i have been coming here ever since they opened! :) —R

2009-08-26 00:06:01   My wife and I go here so much we should just get a timeshare. Top notch food, fine service- get the Pho Ga if you've never had it before. —Hummah

2009-09-30 08:58:30   Came here last night and had the pho tai. It was quite good, though the pho at SEA is better in my opinion, as it's a little bit more spiced and fragrant and has more meat in it and a varied selection of meat at that.

The staff is super friendly, prices very reasonable and it's a nice little joint. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other offerings on the menu. —AlexD1234

2009-10-26 19:58:07   best fried tofu!!! —NipsyRussell

2009-12-31 12:10:22   Best place for Asian in the city. The noodle dishes are my favorite entrees, I really enjoy the way they use curry. Have had some great Apps here and the prices very good. Can be a bit cold in the winter time. Service is very prompt. —almorinelli
