They also highlight the attentive and friendly staff, noting the quick service even when busy. Guests mention the pleasant atmosphere and clean environment, making it a great spot for families.
“The food is super delicious, it is one of my favorite places. I always order the katsu chicken, I love it, and a beef pho… If you want something tasty but not too heavy, this is your best option; the sushi and teriyaki are tasty too. We usually do not wait for a table, but sometimes we do when it is full.”
— Diana Urbina · Google · July 2026
“Very tasty food and the place is very clean and nice. I ordered the chicken curry… the curry plate is very complete with very good portions, tasty and healthy. The chicken teriyaki was also very good; worth knowing it has bell pepper and onion.”
— Pedro Enrique Madero Bravo · Google · June 2026
“It is my wife’s favorite place. We really like the spicy wontons and the fried gyoza. With the rolls we always try something different, most are very good… On weekends it is common to line up to get in, sometimes a half-hour wait.”
— Daniel P. Marta · Google · May 2026
“Another Asian food spot, located in Plaza Mandarín. The waiters could be more attentive; the food takes a long time to arrive, but it makes up for it with excellent plating and flavor, and the portions are ample.”
— Arnulfo Escobedo · Google · June 2026
“Glad to finally have Vietnamese food in Mexicali! I really enjoyed the egg rolls… The mixed pho was good and flavorful. The shrimp curry was well portioned but needed some salt. Lovely atmosphere and kind staff.”
