Many vegan options and the owner was very kind and knowledgeable! Everything was delicious!! Will definitely be back soon!
Excellent service, and amazing quality food. We are vegan and stopped here while passing through, and all of the options were fantastic. The chef went above and beyond by accommodating the Vietnamese bowl with veggie egg rolls in place of the non-vegan spring rolls, and the dish was fantastic. Our kids had the kids fried rice with no egg, and it was a huge hit. This place is great!
(New Updates On Food Below) Another Gem found. I dont even know where to start but I did talk to some of the customers and their responses along with my first time at this place, I'll definitely be coming back. This is the ((Thai, Basil Fried Rice)) we added chicken and a side of dumpling sauce. This dish has a burst of flavors from sweet to savory. I didnt really care for the egg but my second take on this would be added shrimp along with the chicken, extra limes, and a side of dumpling sauce. The price we paid was $20 for the plate without shrimp or extra limes. I promise you wont be disappointed by the flavor. As for the portion size, it doesn't compare to other places where as one plate could feed 2 average individuals. That being said the flavor 100% makes up for the portion size compared to other plates just to fill your stomach.
We had Bun and masaman curry and both delicious! Generous portions and very friendly staff. We will be back for sure.
Driving in Dallas and my sister lives in Calallen. I doubted the fact that Calallen would have good sushi and wow ask the sushi bar guy named Frank to make us some random roles and cannot be more impressed.
This is an excellent restaurant I discovered on Google maps. I went around 3pm when there was no crowd. The waitress was very attentive and nice. I started off with the fried pork dumplings which was very tasty and the sauce to go with it was also very good. For my meal I had the red curry beef spicy style. It’s made with coconut milk. So it has a nice subtle sweetness to go with the heat and wonderful medley of flavors. The best curry I’ve had in the Corpus Christi area. My coworker had fried rice and a wonton soup which he said was very delicious. I will go back and try more varieties. I highly recommend this place!
