Huong Que Deli And Cafe - Maltkiln Lane

Uncomfortable ambience. Stared at repeatedly, being the only non-Vietnamese there. Beef stew was heavy-handed and one piece was chewier than leather.

The owner the lady was so rude has a really bad attitude toward customers.I came all the way from Tacoma to order an to go. She didn’t let me order because it was weekend. I hope everyone staying away from her garbage restaurant.

First: hole-in-the-wall alert ?First impression was: hole in the wall.Services are amazing: friendly fastGot the Banh mi Bo “beef” kho this is really good. And the steak and eggs ? is pretty good. Would go back and get the soup Nam vang. Cash ONLY.

Important notes: most used entrance is in back with the big parking lot cash only, pay at counter when you’re done ask for menu if you need itThere are 2 entrances to the restaurant the correct one is in the back with the big parking lot ha! If you go around the front you’ll usually find the door locked but if you keep trying to open it someone will come to your aid. If you hear a bird chirping you’re not crazy, there’s a robot bird in the corner. If you go when it’s busy you may have to wait but the staff does sense the urgency and they haven’t forgotten about you. Good customer service! If you don’t already know what you want you’ll have to ask for a menu. My guy got the Nam Vang rice noodle soup and I got the stewed beef rice noodle soup. So good! Don’t forget to squeeze lemon in the dip bowl with salt and chilis. Wonderful dip for the beef! We also got iced lemon juice which was incredibly refreshing. I’m a small person and the small stewed beef rice noodle soup was very filling! Next time I may just get the stewed beef with the baguette instead. The tv plays showing flea market scenes of Vietnam. Overall great experience! Kind and authentic vibe!Also you may see an old woman selling produce as you exit the parking lot if only we had more cash/smaller bills maybe we would’ve bought something from her ?

GOOD PHNOM PENH-STYLE NOODLES SOUPThe outside of the restaurant is not too appealing same goes for the neighboring businesses. Once you are inside, this restaurant is a bit more inviting, and it serves delicious Phnom Penh noodle soup. You can order one with egg noodles or another with regular pho noodles. Both taste good.Vietnamese iced coffee is a little bitter and not sweet at all. I had to ask for more condensed milk. The server was nice enough to add more for me.This business accepts cash only, so be sure to prepare for it. I did not see any signs posted at the entrance until I had a conversation with an older sister who mentioned it on the phone, so I started looking for the posted sign and asked the waiter. She calmly told me, “Yes, cash only but don't worry, eat first.” I ate a little, then ran to Safeway to get some cash. There’s an ATM inside the store.Anyway, I want to share my experience. So, you know what to expect. Good people, good food!
