Lime Leaf - Casper

Long story short: for an Asian restaurant located in Wyoming, it's bearable. My family and I stopped by this place for dinner on our drive back to California from Mt. Rushmore. We ordered the roasted duck and beef pho. The duck was cooked quite well, but we were pretty disappointed that 3/4 of it was bones. I'm used to eating ducks with lots of flesh, but I had barely anything to bite off of. The only things I could swallow down were minimal flesh and the crispy skin. $13.95 wasn't really worth what you get. As for the pho, the noodle was quite tasty, the broth was quite nice as well. What we were bit sad about was how the bean sprouts weren't fresh. They looked at least a week old, and the servers didn't provide a lot of it either. I honestly think when it comes to pho, mung bean sprouts should be generously provided. But then again, our expectations were a bit low, since this is Wyoming where Asian population is quite low. It's a decent place to eat, but I wouldn't eat there every time if it was in a place like California or New York.

I tried this place based on the reviews of Yelp and wasn't disappointed. I know what you're thinking, Vietnamese in Casper, WY, but it was as good as what I've had in major metropolitan areas. In fact, I would put their Crab Cheese Wontons against the best of the best. Nothing is more disappointing than wontons that you can barely taste any crab or any cheese. These ones exploded with yumminess. The Phô was excellent as well. I did think it was odd that I had to ask for Sriracha sauce and chopsticks and that it wasn't standard, but maybe Wyoming folk don't use chopsticks.

Still good food. Only place in town I have been able to get udon noodles
