Sunset Noodle House

My wife and I really enjoyed our first visit on the recommendation of friends. We visited on a Friday evening around 7:30, and we immediately greeted and seated by friendly staff. We ordered spring rolls and shrimp chips. We feel the spring rolls are among the best we have ever had, crispy on the outside and full of fresh-tasting veggies. The dipping sauce was quite good too. I had no idea of what to expect from shrimp chips, and I was delightfully surprised by what was served. Big round crunchy chips with a hint of shrimp flavoring with more dipping sauce that made for a refreshing and fun appetizer before our meal. (See photo) We both ordered Bon Bo Soo noodle soup (soup was what we came for). We were both surprised at how large the servings were and how much meat was in the soup. Chile oil was offered in the side to spice up the soup and we did just that. The soup was delicious and filling. For the first time in my life, I took ‘leftover’ soup home from a restaurant! While the interior was not flashy, the atmosphere was friendly and we were made to feel welcome and we were attentively served. We will be back! 😀

I read the reviews and even asked a friend and everybody said it was really good and they weren't wrong! All of the servers are nice and check back frequently. The food comes out quickly and everything we got was fresh, hot & tasted so very good! The shrimp crackers come with a rice vinegar-type sauce that is super tasty. Spring rolls are 3 to an order, but they cut them in half so it seems like 6. They're pretty big and very very good. The Bun Bo Soo comes in a huge bowl with a lot of beef at the bottom and noodles. You can choose between flat rice noodles and tiny vermicelli; we chose the flat noodles. I think this soup is supposed to be spicy; my husband's was redder than mine, so I think they forgot my "spicy", but later brought out some chili oil and that helped. There's A LOT of soup in the bowl...enough to take some home and have it for another meal, so it's really worth the money. I can't wait to go back and try more things. I highly recommend this place!

This place is a diamond in the mountain of coal that is downtown. Have so far tried the Pho & the pad Thai. Definitely one of the best Phos I've ever had. Very tasty with generous amount of protein. The Pad Thai was also very, very good. Both Pho and Pad Thai had much fatter noodles than I'm used to, but hey, they're still rice noodles. So they taste the same. No big deal. Atmosphere was clean and comfortable. Staff was super friendly. I am only in the Soo a couple times a year for work, but now that I know this place is here, I am actually looking forward to coming back!

I made the mistake of ordering the food. My experience with eating Vietnamese noodles is best when I eat at the restaurant. I ordered pork noodles and a side of spring rolls. The spring rolls were delicious and the dipping sauce traditional and tasty. My issue was that I ordered the pork to be well done and I received fatty pork. After I pulled all the fat away I had very little pork in my dish. Also, for $23 I found the amount of food to be dismally small - mostly noodles. After delivery fees and a tip to the driver I was at $51 and was regretting ordering at all. I’ll give the place another try and eat in next time and hopefully my next review will be better.
