Thien Hong

I haven't had the Salt and Pepper Squid here in years because I didn't have a good experience last time but now I'm back. The food tasted great along with the Yang Zhou Fried Rice I got. My friend also got the Mushroom Chicken and Wonton Soup and he said they really hit the spot. I guess the only thing that sucks is the Squid is now $22 as opposed to $17 last time I had it, which was probably over 5 years ago. I suppose it's nice to come here every now and then.

-Last time I was here had a bad experience, decided to give it another tried and to my surprise the restaurant is under new management!! -I was treated so nice, the ladies were very helpful and friendly. -The food was delicious! -Ordered their famous salt and pepper squid, comes with white rice -and, house special soup, very tasty too. -Restaurant was not full for a Sunday night, service was fast. -Highly recommend.

The staff was super kind and helpful. We were the only one at the resturaunt at the time and I hope they're doing well bc this is the kind of food I miss. House special fried noodles with crispy noodles ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - my favorite - crispy and perfect - wish there was more sauce Snow pea leaves ⭐⭐⭐✨ - it's a great vegetable Honey Garlic spare ribs⭐⭐⭐⭐ - juicy - small pieces and easier to manage Honey walnut shrimp⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - what you'd expect - it's really well done though - a little hard to chew after a while - isn't too sweet and love that about kt Salt and pepper squid⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - perfect with rice

Food is generally good. My family has come here over the years. Recently we got the beef chow fun, ray muon, and crispy chicken. Beef Chow fun was great and so was rau muon. The crispy chicken was disappointing though. It was overcooked and dry. Place was busy but the two servers were attentive and overall quality of service was good.

Apparently this place is a neighborhood institution that's been around long enough that locals (and folks nearby) have been dining here as kids. A colleague told me about family dinners at Thien Hong when growing up, so there's history and memory here. As a relative newcomer, I became aware of Thien Hong through its erstwhile neighbor, Yen Ha, with whom there had been this rivalry over who had the "best salt & pepper squid in town." Since then we've had the pandemic lockdown and all the chaos that followed, and Yen Ha closed up shop, leaving Thien Hong as the last restaurant standing and the default winner of the squid title, as there can be only one. Anyway, that colleague and I got takeout from Thien Hong a while back, which we enjoyed while lounging in my yard, but fried foods just don't travel well no matter how short that drive is from kitchen to lawn chair. Truly the way to appreciate and enjoy the salt & pepper squid is in situ, which is what I did a couple of Saturdays ago. My friend from the lawn lunch and I, along with a mutual pal, met up around 2PM, and enjoyed a leisurely (in so far as we were taking our time - the food and subsequent tea and rice refills were on the spot timely) meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the three of us left very well fed.

I love food in this place, Always great, My Friend My Ha took me here to celebrate my birthday on April 2016. Best of Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup come with Chili fish sauce. Good Salt & Pepper Sqiud. I try Deep Fried Fish 1dt time today. Fish cooked very good. Sweet meat & Fresh. see you again.
