My husband and me go to Destiny quite a lot in the past (like 2-3 years ago) and the food was good along with the workers. Now a day when we go, we always go out with at least one thing to complain except if we order pho and kaopia. We havent tried most of their food to really know how good it is but from the things weve ordered before, theres always something missing in the food. Example...EVERYTIME I order papaya for takeout the papaya is either too crabby (lao style) or too plain (Thai style). Just today I decided to eat pad Thai instead of kaopia, I was disappointed at the result I got on the table. It wasnt good and I felt like I wasted my money. The meat they slice is too big (on pho, kaopia, fry rice, pad Thai, etc). I think Like going to this place to eat with my family and its a nice comfortable place but like I said, the food isnt that good anymore :( it makes me worry about buying and trying new food in there. I think the worker or cooker there sometimes need to try the food their serving.....because if its not good to them and they dont want to eat it of course we wouldnt want to eat it too. I always complain to my husband "do they ever try the food theyre passing out, and see if its good?" I dont want to leave such bad comment like this but that place need to have some changes. Another, I agree with the others about the waiting thing. Sometimes it takes them forever to do something and sometimes they forget or by the time they come to u, ur mood for the food isnt there anymore. Again, I love this place, but I want to see some changes :)

People have to understand that this is a family oriented restaurant. I had read many comments that other people wrote about Destiny Café 2. Im 95% agree with their comments. Im one of those who used to like eating at Destiny. The owner of the restaurant is actually related to many of my relatives. I have never gone back to eat at the restaurant ever since I had noticed the poor quality of their foods, too much grease and the prices are rising. Overall, my wife and I can very much cook better foods than the staff at Destiny. We can make better pho than Destiny. The customer services are very much provided by little kids of the restaurants family members. The only way the restaurant will consider and get their attention to improve the quality of their foods and customer services is when people stop going to eat at the restaurant. As far as I witness these days, Destiny Café will keep making money without caring to improve the quality of their foods and customer services because there are too many lazy families and young couples who either dont knows how to cook or too lazy to cook at home and rather pay to eat out, even though the prices of the foods keep rising. This is insane to see how younger Hmong generations get passed by on their daily living and spending on foods and eating out. Supposed if im the owner of Destiny Café, I will do the same as long as I continue to have customers to eat my restaurant.

Im in town on business and the Service at this place was an absolute disgrace from the time I entered the establishment and throughout the meal which was subpar at best. I went with someone and they made us wait about 10 minutes to be seated even though I saw about 7 or 8 open tables directly in the center of the restaurant. They seated us in the very back by the door only after I asked about seating and then I watched as they seated all the Asian people who came in after we sat down in the "preferred customer section" in the center of the restaurant. It felt like they were hiding us. To add insult to injury, the waiter, who was also Asian acted like she didnt want anything to do with us but when dealing with other Asians she was friendly and smiled frequently. She has a scar on her lip so if you see her ask for someone else. Our food was made extremely quickly but tasted like it had just been warmed up in a microwave. Id walk 2 miles out of my way to avoid eating here again and the food was MAYBE a 4 out of 10.

Very few decent food they have there. The worst thing there is their customer service! The waitresses would just walk by customers that are in line without asking if weve been helped. Once a while my girlfriend and I would go there to have lunch and they had never once served our food in a timely manner. For example; my gf would order her pho (which usually takes only a couple of minutes to get it ready to eat) and I usually order one of their fish dish (which takes 15-20 min). So instead of serving both at the same time they would serve her pho long before I got my fish. By the time they brought out my food my gf had already finished hers. Often times when I go up and pay for my order Id have to wait till the cashier finishes playing with her phone. I usually dont tip this place and I dont regret it. They need to train their employees to provide better customer services until then Ill going to Hmong Village.

Everyone, DO NOT EAT HERE. the servers are rude, and the food is so nasty that it doesnt pass health and food safety codes by the city. I know because i use to work there. If i was the city, i would shut this place down already. Theres food on the floor in the kitchen, the food violation in the fridge is so bad that i had to quite before i got in trouble with them. the cooks cough all over the food that they prepare for you. some of the workers are employed illegally too. Like i said, i use to work here sadly. the owner is a good guy, but the food practice is horrible. Unless you like to eat and drink food that have people coughing all over it, food that has been on the floor, and food that has been laying around a bucket that has been mixed with cooked and raw meat for a whole week. Dont eat here. I boycotted this place a long time ago. this place makes me sick

I always try to support family Businesses, with that being said, idk why I keep going back to This place. I want to support them but their service is just horrible. EVERYTIME! So I stop eating in and hoping ordering to go I would have beret luck causer I can hey my own water at home. Ordered to go twice and they somehow someway manage to make it go bad. Ordered a tray of padthai 4hrs ahead, gave them the time I would b there, 40 minutes AFTER I arrive I get my food. Ordered 1 1/2 lbs of beef, they gave my daughter 1/2 lbs. U bet I went in there pissed off. At over $11/lb I paid for 1 1/2 and u give me 1/2? Excuse was "Oh I thought u said 1/2lbs", then why did u charge me 1 1/2lbs? I try, I really try to give them the benifit of doubt and support them but idk how much more I can take.
