vernakular - what are you expecting? it is a noodles soup shop they wouldn't have 'plate' even if they do the plate is too large so wth are you complaining about. sherrieszeto - wth are you expecting for such a cheap price and just maybe you eat like a monster that is why the proportion isn't enough! I have been eatting there for many years and it still taste the good as always. If you go their order only noodles soup or dry noodles which come with a small bowl of soup. Also they are famous for their duck. So either order noodles soup or duck on rice though it might be a tad small proportion so order it with noodles soup which will fill you up more =D

Pros: Tastey noodles soup and Duck plus it is cheap!

Cons: non

I think BoKy is one the best cheap noodle places around. Sure it's not much of a place, the waiters are not that friendly, but hey, it's $5 for a great meal! My favorite one is the egg noodle with wontons get extra meatballs and soup on the side!

Pros: Good food, cheap (super cheap!)

Cons: Service not that great

This is the type of place you go to if you were dining alone and didn't want to spend a lot of money. The food is all right. Not great, not horrible. I would have gone back if not for the rudeness we experienced from one of the servers (the others were fine). One server (who seemed like the son of the owner) had a bad attitude. We ordered the spring rolls, pork on rice, mustard greens, duck, and Cambodian Noodle Soup. A rather abundance of food for two people. I asked the waiter for a plate. He snapped back: "we don't give out plates." "you don't give out plates? Not even if we want some?" He paused and then relented, "we have BOWLS," correcting me as he reluctantly gave us some. Not sure why he was being difficult but this kind of service boggles my mind because it is so unnecessary, especially when there are many other restaurants to choose from in the neighborhood. Food wise, nothing stood as amazing particularly and given the misanthropic server's attitude, I will never go back

Yea it smells good just standing outside the restaurant. Though I find that the portions are very small. An idea of what you will see eating there? Foam cups with tea, disposible chopstix and not much on the menu to choose from. Forget about the fried noodle, pork fried dumplings or even chicken fried rice. After eating there, I felt like I should had went some where else.

Pros: Seating

Cons: not much food, service was ok

This is definitely one of the places that I have continued to come back to over the years. I usually get one the Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup. Their duck here is also absolutely delicious. You can eat gourmet food at a fast food price.

Pros: close to MOCA, close to Ice Cream, Close to Shopping

This restaurant actually serves Chieu Chow style (a group of ethnic Chinese people who came from Vietnam) foods. The country duck is one of their most famous menu dishes. The taste is completely different for people who have only eaten Chinese styled barbecue meats. The duck is slowly braised in a special marinade. It is absolutely delicious and flavorful. The best foods are the noodle soups. Be daring, try it "dry" and they will give you soup on the side and add spices and oils to toss the hot noodles. What's great is that you can create your own combination adding and picking whatever you want in the bowl. Great comfort food any day.

Pros: Noodles, Country Duck, Price
