I've tried this place twice and with each time the experience improved. First visit: 3/5 Walked in, only two other tables were occupied. I was greeted politely by the lady. She indicated I could sit wherever I wanted. I ordered the cashew nut with shrimp lunch special and water. Food came out very fast. It was presented nicely on a plate. The small bowl of soup was tasty, it had a peppery and garlicky flavor. However I wished it was more hot as the temperature felt just above warm but not hot. The egg roll tasted ok, but was small and the skin was a bit thick. For the cashew nut with shrimp, there were only three shrimp. At first I didn't see any cashew nuts as I was expecting to see whole or halves cashew nut, however I realized in this dish they were crushed, it was just a little bit difficult to find due to the dark sauce. The salad was finished in a few bites. Although the heart shaped rice was cute, I could definitely eat another one or at least half. After finishing everything in my meal I did not feel full. I also did not get my water. Second visit: 4/5 I was greeted by the lady and this time she recognized me from my first visit. She seemed much more friendly and welcoming this time. This time I ordered off the regular menu instead of the lunch specials. I got the spicy basil leaves with chicken and the avocado salad. At first I was worried about the spice level but this dish was not spicy at all, it had more of a tangy flavor. The à la carte portion does seem bigger than the lunch special. It still came with the same heart shaped rice. The avocado salad was ok. I started using the dressing on the salad but ended up using more of the peanut sauce instead. For me it made the salad taste much better. The lady was very kind to give me a complimentary cup of their house soup, even though my order did not come with it. I also got my water this time. Overall the food tasted good. May need to order an appetizer to feel more satisfied. I would still be back when in this area. read more

AM Noodle - Avocado fresh roll and tom Kha hot pot (tofu) - Thai Near Me - Ventura, California

So it's been a year and I thought I would give this place another chance, once again disappointed.. I arrived to an empty restaurant yet the table I was seated at was dirty. I got the pad Thai lunch special which was a slimy mess with hardly any flavor other than tamarind sauce. The crab ragoons were good but that's about it. I don't know if I'm coming on the wrong days or what is going on but I don't think imma go back anymore, don't feel it's worth my money, spent almost 30 bucks and not satisfied read more

The staff is AMAZING! I ate here 4 times in two weeks. Has been one my go to spot when in town! The tom kha is amazing. read more

AM Noodle - Thai Near Me - Ventura, California

Had such a wonderful lunch at AM Noodle today! As a huge Thai food fan who's tried many of the local spots, this one absolutely hit the mark. Their lunch special is an incredible value and comes with soup, salad, a vegetable egg roll, and your choice of entrée. We ordered the Pad See Ew with shrimp and the green curry, and both were packed with flavor. Everything came out fresh and surprisingly fast. The service was just as memorable as the food. I loved the soup so much that I asked if I could order some to take home, and our waitress kindly surprised me with a complimentary larger serving. When she found out we're expecting another baby, she even gave us a thoughtful little baby gift, which was such a sweet and unexpected gesture. Delicious food, generous portions, and genuinely kind service. We'll definitely be back again very soon! read more

AM Noodle - Yellow Curry - Thai Near Me - Ventura, California

Found this gem while searching for some warm, soupy, noodles in this area. Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking and walking available. Immediately greeted and welcomed upon entry. Chose to sit inside instead of the outdoor seating (it was breezy this day). We did not wait long at all, and were treated to a most delicious meal. Food was excellent! Flavors were on point and the beef was tender with a delicious broth. The chicken noodles (pic not included) was a great blend for my guest of honor. What we ordered: Beef w/egg noodles Chicken w/egg noodles Avocado veggie wraps Chicken gyoza Mango sticky rice My guest enjoyed the "special treatment" with a personalized princess cup and eatery--Kóp Kan! When in Ventura again, we'll definitely return to enjoy more of the authentic dishes on the menu! read more

Can't say enough wonderful things about this place. Hospitality 10/10, food 10/10. Clean restaurant with comfortable seating, and ample parking. I loved the iced coffee. Super toddler friendly and family oriented. I believe this restaurant is a sole family owned space. We were so well taken care of and can't look forward to supporting this business soon enough read more

Stopped by for a quick bite while running errands and it was perfect! Staff was friendly and the food came out super quick and delicious. I love all the protein options I don't normally see like salmon and scallop and fish. They also brought out chili sauce, spice, and fish sauce so you could adjust everything to your preference, which I loved because I could make each bite a little different. I went with the pad see ew with scallop and the scallops were HUGE! Would def come back next time I'm in town! read more

Wait wait wait, this place has been here for 4yrs?!? Too bad it's tucked in the corner, but makes for an amazing hole-in-the-wall gem. First of all, this is Thai food and the menu pictures do not do the pictures justice. The plating was totally different and gave an upscale presentation. The food is DELICIOUS. Meals are portioned well. The owner also loved playing with my newborn son and helped me prepare a baby bottle for him. That was so sweet of her 4/5 just because there were some boxes that made the restaurant look messy. Other than that, I told my husband that we need to go back. I went with a group of 3, including my newborn. *Ordered: Drunken Noodle (Flat) w/ Beef Yellow Curry w/ chicken TASTY. SAVORY. DELICIOUS. and the good stayed hot/warm forever read more

We came and ordered a guzo (like a chicken dumpling) and pad Thai and we said we want to taste the food before buying more and the dumplings came out we ordered peanut sauce on the side it tasted way too sweet and the dumpling was burned on the outside but then the chicken on the inside had ice and was cold and when we told them that it was cold after words the waitress took our plate back and was very rude and showed alot of attitude and took or menus back the pad Thai was ok but then the we had barely started eating the pad Thai she put the check on our table. read more

Tucked snugly in the corner of the shopping center, this cozy place with indoor and outdoor seating has a little of everything. Noodle dishes, savory and noodle soup, Chinese dishes, curries, and veggies and meats a la carte. Just one lady helping us but there were only a few other customers so service was perfectly adequate. Got the bbq pork noodle soup which was hot and flavorful. The pork was perfect and soft. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Same With Panang curry I have had better but service was amazing. The lady was very kind and sweet! I am willing to try them again for the great service but also maybe other dishes can be tastier read more

I'm updating my review because this is one of my very favorite local restaurants and I've got a few things I want to say about it. To start, let's talk about what category this wonderful little restaurant fits into. Yelp has it listed as Japanese, Pan Asian, Thai, and I'm going to tell you why I think that's misleading. In no way is this a Japanese restaurant. There may be Japanese food selections on the menu, and as good as they may be, they're nothing like you would expect from a real Japanese restaurant. Same with the Chinese selections on the menu. This is really a Thai restaurant with a Pan Asian selection of menu items. All the menu items that are not expressly Thai are in fact Thai interpretations of Japanese or Chinese dishes. That is not to say these interpretations aren't satisfactory in their own right, because many of them are actually pretty terrific. It's is only to give you a heads up. If you order Chow Mein here it's not going to be like any Chow Mein you've had in a Chinese restaurant. Now, I absolutely love the Chow Mein here, but if I was expecting it to be authentically Chinese I'd be disappointed. It's a Thai version of a Chinese dish. A really really good version, but not Chinese. I come here for lunch all the time and I've tried every one of the Lunch Specials. I love them all. When I first started hanging out here I think the Lunch Specials were $10.59. These days they're $13.95, and I'm absolutely fine with the price increase because they use high quality ingredients here. No skimping on quality or quantity. It's a good value. Many times I don't even finish off my lunch plate and I end up taking it home for lunch the following day. The Lunch Specials come with a small bowl of soup that I really look forward to. This peppery bowl of delight recently underwent a recipe change and now it's better than ever. The new version includes egg, so now it is a little more like (a Thai version of) Egg Drop Soup. It seems like it has more veggies in it too. I love that soup so much!!! These days I almost always order my Lunch Special with Tofu as my protein choice. The Tofu is always perfect here. Several visits ago the Owner suggested I try a cup of Ginger Tea. Any other restaurant I would've said No Thanks. But I've never gotten a bad recommendation at this place so I decided to give it a try. Oh man, that Ginger Tea is Outstanding!! I get it every time I eat here now. And in between visits if I feel a cold or sore throat developing I swing by AM Noodle and pick up a Ginger Tea to go. It's so soothing! One thing you should know about it though is that it is served at about 1Billion Degrees Fahrenheit. The To Go version comes in a very very nice corrugated cup so you might not realize it's as hot as it is. Mikey say Be careful, Yo! I come here so often that I've gotten to know people that operate AM Noodle. The place is run by a hard working family that immigrated from Thailand. The Dad was an airline employee in his home country and now, in the US, is the (very talented) cook in his own restaurant. The Mom fills the hostess/waitress/front of the house role. The kids are still very young, but every once in a while I see them doing some little restaurant task. I love how they all work together and how focused they are at trying to provide their guests with good food, good value and happy times. Mostly from their Lunch Special I was a big fan of AM Noodle way before I knew the origin story of the family that runs the place. Learning a little of their family history and seeing how hard they work made me an even bigger fan. This is the kind of local business I love to support. Lastly, I should mention that, unfortunately, notwithstanding the fact that they've got delicious veggies and very nice tofu, the restaurant is not vegan or even vegan friendly. Sorry, but don't even start with any vegan requests here. It is wheelchair accessible though, and I appreciate that. A sign posted low in the front window says No Public Bathrooms. I've never asked if there's one for customers. Mikey C says: wait, did I mention the Drunken Noodles? I didn't? Dang! I meant to mention them because they're pretty good. read more

Very great food, cozy environment, and the owner (I'm assuming) was super sweet, generous and she made us really feel welcome. I would go back here for sure!! Got the chow mein and it was delicious and super fast service read more

Came in for lunch on a rainy day feeling nauseous and completely drained. Although small, there's a sense of peacefulness inside. Thankfully, the service was incredibly quick. The real magic happened when my meal arrived with a complimentary soup that truly warmed my soul. Not only was it delicious--I'm pretty sure it even cured my morning sickness. Most of all, it felt like it was made with genuine care. I went back to work raving about the experience, and I'll definitely be returning for more of their authentic, heartfelt food. read more

Stopped by here today for their lunch special. The food had so much flavor, but the only thing I wish was different was the temperature of their soup. I love my soups piping hot especially on a rainy day and my soup was just warm, but not hot. I ordered their basil feel lunch special, my hubby ordered their garlic chicken special and my kids split their stir fry chicken lunch special. They all come with a side of rice, soup and a salad. The service was excellent. We ordered their mango with sticky rice for dessert, it was so yummy! The lady that waited on us didn't speak a lot of English, but good enough that we could communicate with her. The restaurant is small and it was a little busy today, but we still were able to get a comfortable booth. I think it was a good deal for all of the delicious food we got. We'll be back soon. read more

I am not accustomed to paying such a low price for really good Thai food! You can get a plate of your favorite Thai food for $14, before taxes, of course! The lunch special seemed too good to be true that I had to try it. Honestly, they proved me wrong! The food was so flavorful and yummy! I think my only mistake was ordering the sticky rice without checking the menu. Don't get me wrong. The sticky rice was delicious and the presentation was outstanding. However, it was a lot higher price than what I thought it would be. I'm used to paying around 6 to 7 dollars for mango sticky rice and I ended up paying the same amount that I paid for my meal. So was the sticky rice good? Yes, but I think it was a little overpriced. I get it, the presentation is incredible but I just don't like the sound of paying $14 for a dessert and $14 for lunch. But that doesn't stop me from coming here again and giving this place five stars because I really think they deserve it! read more

Weird encounter! Went there today. The owner was on the phone. Handed me a menu. And continued to talk on the phone.... I waited and waited. Read the menu, chose my dish. She never said hello or anything, after handing me the menu she just sat on the chair and continued to be On the phone. She was looking at my eyes while I was asking her if I can place an order to go. She kept talking on the phone never acknowledging me. I put the menu down and slowly walked away. She never got up like nothing . Felt super awkward almost like Racist. Weird. Never coming back again. read more

AM Noodle - Sweet n sour chicken lunch special, Tom yum soup in the background - Thai Near Me - Ventura, California

Very attentive, friendly, and fast with service. The food was pretty delicious (especially for Ventura) and portions were filling. The space is clean and tidy. I did stop by with a friend about an hour before closing on a rainy weekend, so we were the only ones there besides the family of the owners. Our options for asian cuisine were limited because lots of places in the area seem to close by 10pm. The only thing I will say is that the price was a tad high for the portion sizes. I would give this place a try, while it might not blow you away, it will fulfill your cravings! Review: 3.5/5 read more

Very odd interior as it's part office for someone and then a restaurant that's in a strip mall. They really have poor service as we sat there waiting for a long time. The prices were very expensive and unreasonable. Now the food was delicious but not worth the exuberance of cost though. Look to spend $20+ per person. Once you get your food they disappear and you have to find them to pay to leave. We've been once and that's all. read more
