Simply amazing. I wish I had, as I normally do, taken pics and remembered all we ordered. We were in a group and having fun and... it was slightly busy, and I just didn?t get around to it. Every appetizer, sushi roll, sashimi and entree that made it to thetable was seemingly more delicious than the next. Super cool people and great service. Don?t miss the opportunity to spoil yourtaste buds if you are in town. Read more
Wow! I'm literally blown away by this pho. I lived in Chicago and we left last year to travel around the country until we set... roots in South Fork Co. The one thing I have missed is pho. I've tried plenty of pho in my travels and they are usually justokay or a let down. We traveled two hours to go do some shopping in Durango and was excited to see this restaurant. I didn'texpect much, but at least enough to fix a craving so I tried it. This has to be one of the best pho's I've had in my life. I amconvinced that this broth is cooked in it's traditional way. The broth is flavorful and a little cloudy showing that it's beencooked in meats and bones. It doesn't have that fake sweet taste that most pho places have. It's just flavorful and delicious. Iliked that they put all the toppins in for me. We also ordered sushi and summer rolls and they were all delicious. I was justblown away by the pho. I ordered one to take home and now I'm kicking myself because I should have ordered more and put in thefreezer. Next time I go I will order the whole pot since I have to drive two hours. I now have a place to go when the cravingkicks. If you guys would consider opening a restaurant in Pagosa that would be helpful! Btw the restaurant is small it has a fewtables inside but there's more sitting outside. The service was phenomenal and the waiters are even cute ???? lol. Give thisplace a try. Read more
Was very neat and great atmosphere. Every workers took care of us efficiently. The man making the sushi rolls took our order and... had it out very quickly. Everyone was very respectful, polite, and was there to serve. They also gave me cheaters for mychopsticks. ????The food was awesome and very well presented. Read more
I say this confidently, this is most definitely the best sushi i have ever had in my life. My sushi order, the Lava roll, was... deep fried but had an amazing light crisp to it. I enjoyed every single piece on that plate. My mom ordered the Saigon Noodlebowl, and it was also delightful. I am so happy we got to this place as it opened, because it is a small space with not a lot ofseating. If you plan to go here, get there as it opens or a couple minutes after! These guys do know what they are doing withthis place though, keep it up! Read more
Absolutely amazing experience. The southwest roll and the fried pork rolls were amazing. The hamachi was over the top! I will... be back for sure. Read more
Restaurant is super cramped. Only about 10 feet wide. Tried the sesame beef rice bowl, pork summer rolls, yellowtail nigiri... sushi and a Tekka Maki roll. Only the sushi and roml were good. The rice bowl had wierd flavors but worse was the overcookedsoggy rice. As soon as you put it into your mouth it turned to mush without texture. The summer roll had rotten lettuce in itand the reat was bitter. They were terrible. Would not return. Read more
Simply the best?? Staff are extremely talented at what they do, and the service is unmatched. Having grown up in Durango I can... tell you it's the best restaurant in town! Everything on the menu is exceptional, couple of my favs are the limetwist,tiraditos, lemongrass beef verm, and saigon noodles. Lots of love for this special place Read more
