Stopped in on Saturday around noon to grab some food to go. The to go food is kind of hit or miss. Sometimes it's better than others. The pad kra pow and steamed rice rolls in the styrofoam container were excellent! Everything else was just meh. Haven't eaten from the hot food restaurant in awhile but last time I did the pork belly and beef were on point. Nice and crispy, well seasoned.

This place is no longer like it used to be. The new restaurant open inside is not good. The first time I tried the restaurant the kapoon made me want to throw up after and my sister's pho was bland. Giving them the benefit of the doubt we tried it a second time after a while and the pork belly was so oily that me and my brother we felt sick after. The egg rolls here are 1.5/5. The old restaurant owner was better but don't know what happened to his family. Also seen little mice running around before lol don't recommend.

Pho was good but it could be better. Eggrolls were decent. Raw laab which I don't have a picture, was good. I will definitely go back there just for the raw laab again but the rice powder needs to be ground up for better eating.

If you need tofu or fresh produce like basil and mint, or want to pick up some exotic fruits, delicious ginger sausage, have a bowl of pho, or shop for the beautiful intricately embroidered items of Hmong tradition, this is a wonderful place to spend several hours if you've got them, or just make a quick grocery trip.

I've been eating there for many years, and even though they've had many different owners, it's still one of my favorite spots. They used to have a grilled beef option, but unfortunately, they don't have it anymore. If you come for pho, I highly recommend ordering their pork belly and sausage, it's always a great choice!

There are markets with different owners within the building; yes like a flea market. You enter the building to the grocery market, then other shops in the back contain Asian clothing, over the counter medicine, gifts, and of course, the deli. Parking was limited. We parked on the street and then made our way in. I remember back when they had two buildings but it seems that people backed out of their businesses and they consolidated everything into one. We entered the building with a lot of staring faces. It was probably because there was 10 of us, ranging from age 2 to 60 years. We only stopped by to grab some food before we head to the airport. So we walked pass the market. There wasn't anything that caught my eyes other than the homemade wrapped treats in the front. They looked like they have been sitting there for a while so I passed not them. The cashier stared at us with no greeting or facial expression.We head back to the food court. I remembered they have the hot food area and then another shop across, sold boba teas and other drinks. I stood in line for hot food then asked that they wrap up the chicken and rice in a container so I could bring it on the plane. I knew that when we landed at our destination, it would be too late to find anything for my mother-in-law who prefer rice dishes. When I got the food, nothing was wrapped. Good thing I purchased other items that had a resealable plastic container, which I packed the chicken and rice in. Their banh cuon (rice crepe rolls with minced pork filling) was ok. A tad more glutenous for my liking. I didn't like their tapioca rice balls filled with minced pork. It had a weird aftertaste that was displeasing. The tapioca wasn't cooked throughly either so some parts were still hard. I didn't get to try their chicken and rice but my mother-in-law enjoyed it once we got to the hotel.I've been to other Hmong flea markets and I rank this on the lower end. I appreciate that they have this but I was hoping for more options. A lot of the shops inside were closed even for a Sunday afternoon.

After moving to the area I had to travel a ways to get to this market but find that it had most Asian staples. While I'll miss Ranch 99's amazing selection I'm glad 5xen is close by to get my fix.

Very small market with one full kitchen that serves hot food, another with premade food and snacks and another even smaller one that's more a tiny convenience store that sells candy and the like. There used to be a side that did fresh produce but it's not there anymore. It's been drastically downsized from years ago because of poor management. Also, not very clean inside.

The food is pretty good, it has an A rating for cleanliness in the kitchen but, something about it makes me question it. I guess I mean to say it’s serviceable but it would always been cleaner. There’s also a bullet hole in the glass in the dining area, but the strange thing is if you look at it, it doesn’t seem possible it came from the outside.Like I said, it could be cleaner. I’m not expecting to eat off the floor but, I’d like to eat off my table or be okay with wiping my face with a napkin.

After coming here a lot of times, i can say the half or whole oven baked chicken is TOP. Yes. It's very good. Get the fresh chicken in the morning. I'm talking about "WS’ BBQ & GRILL".Traveling from MI, we always drop by this place. I always have to get my Chicken. Everything else is OK. The pho? I'm afraid to touch the pho since this place is hmong owned."My Bubble Tea"? What can I say, I don't buy bubble from them. why? They make some crazy Papaya. Yes. Papaya!!! Excellent! It's so good, it rivals MN Papaya. Wow. I said it. Better than MN papaya. For now, this place has the best Papaya in WI/MN.Highly Recommended!
