Pineapple rice with tofu
Megan K.

We drive from Bakersfield to eat here. The food is excellent. This time. I ordered the pineapple rice and my husband ordered drunken noodles. He's crazy and get a high level of four. The staff is always extra friendly. Bathroom is nasty and it really smells and there's definitely some water damage in there so hold it if you can.

I liked the soup and the egg roll.
Alan C.

I wanted to do something special for my 300th review. I was driving from Sacramento to Bakersfield, and this place was about 45 minutes out of the way, but hey... Guy Fieri said that it was worth the side trip. It definitely was. It looks very unassuming on the outside, and the inside is a relatively small space . It looked a lot bigger on TV. Everybody was very friendly. As usual , when I visit a " Triple D " place , I want to try what Guy had. I ordered the lunch portion of the pad Thai. it came with an egg roll, and a bowl of chicken soup with cabbage. The eggroll was fantastic, not greasy at all, and the chicken soup was very good. I liked the broth, and there were plenty of goodies inside. I especially liked the pad Thai. I had it with chicken. I asked for it with very little spice, and that's what I got. I noticed that there was just a tiny bit there. There was plenty of good flavored chicken, and it was nice and tender. The noodles and the bean sprouts were very good, and I loved the sauce. The tamarind made it sweet, but not overly sweet, and the peanuts gave it a great crunch. Because it was a lunch portion, it didn't look that big. It was. I had enough to take with me for a nice dinner as well. The price was very reasonable. I would gladly make another side trip to Taft just to eat here again. Thank you!

Pad Kee Mao
Dani O.

Friends of mine said this place was The Bomb! We decided to try it and we don't agree. We ordered everything with medium spice. Ordered the Tum Yum Chicken soup which was ok. Not very spicy, a little bland, but decent. The Orange Chicken was really good, I'll definitely order that again. Also ordered the Pad Kee Mao with beef. This one was a big disappointment. It looked fabulous!! But it had NO flavor at all! The beef, no flavor. The noodles, no flavor. I took it home to add some spice to it at home. No way I was eating no flavor noodles, just to eat. The place is located in an older building that has lots of charm to it. Way bigger inside than it looks from the outside. There was an older gentleman, that worked there or owned the place, sitting at the bar scrolling through his phone with the volume so loud we could hear it LOUDLY at our table. Seriously!?! Very rude. Headphones or earbuds have been invented for just this particular setting. Not sure this is the place for flavorful Thai food. Orange Chicken, yes. That's about it.

Potstickers
Bert G.

So I'd never heard of this place but since I was in town my buddy decided to introduce me to "the spot." First off I noticed the sign outside with Guy saying this was a triple D spot. Walking in we were immediately greeted and seated. Drinks and menus were brought shortly there after. Looked over the lunch deals and decided on the orange chicken which comes with white rice and potstickers appetizers. It came with more but we tore in to them once they hit the table. Our lunch also came with 2 egg rolls which didn't survive long enough to snap a pick. So apparently I was warned ahead of time that they ask you what heat level you'd like your order depending on your choice, I personally like spicy but didn't know what to expect based on the warning that was issued to me. I asked for medium heat but if I go stain I'll order spicy. What can I say. I like the heat. Orange chicken was full of flavor and more than enough sauce to coat all the pieces on my plate! Overall a good experience, I'd like to try some other items on the menu, price wasn't bad at all and service was great!

Pad see ew
Mary R.

I think it is a good option if you are in the area. There aren't a lot of choices. The service was friendly and the food was ok. The Pad See-Ew was the best of our order. The Tom Kha Gai was okay but had a lot of filler vegetables which some folks might enjoy. My Rad Nar was okay. I learned the "gravy" is a cornstarch sauce with little body. The noodles themselves were good.

Beef and broccoli combo

I had the spicy beef and broccoli with chow mein Noodles and an order of cream cheese rolls. Usually the food is worth the price but I don't know if it was because they were busy but my plate wasn't the same portion it usually is and they gave me regular beef instead of spicy beef I only had 3 piece of broccoli :(

Guy was here
Jessika S.

In Taft for work and looking for someplace other than fast food restaurants to feed my face. A local recommended Asian Experience so I plugged the address into gps and was there in two shakes of a lamb's tail. Upon walking in, you get a quaint family feel and a cheerful greeting. The right wall is exposed brick and I loved that look. The smells that filled the restaurant perked my appetite up and without much hesitation I ordered the Pad Thai. I surely was not disappointed. While it might not have visually appeared to be as delicious as some of the other Pad Thais I have dominated, it certainly was tasty. Especially the tofu! Tofu can be tricky all the way around, but they are on their game here! It was crispy enough on the outside, soft on the inside, and the flavor was deep and extremely delicious. The same for the noodles. Very authentic and SO incredibly tasty. My co-worker ordered chicken chow mein and it was absolutely beautiful when brought to the table. A lovely mix of appetizing noodles, vegetables, and chicken. Our lunch was delicious, I was highly impressed and so glad that it was recommended. If you ever find yourself in Taft, please check it out!

I'm concerned this is one of the top rated Asian cuisine restaurants in Bakersfield.... I only came…read morehere because it had good reviews. If you guys think this is great, we need to have a heart to heart. Let's start with the potstickers. I asked the waiter if I should get steamed or fried; he recommended fried. Well, let's just say I've had better potstickers from the grocery store's frozen section than this place... They were incredibly small and flavorless. If this is what is recommended, the steamed version must be inedible. Thankfully the Chicken Pad Thai actually had some flavor, but nothing to recommend to anymore. There is certainly better out there... This alone is definitely not a reason to go back. To make matters worse, it was pretty expensive... $31 for a plate and appetizer? No, just no. My favorite place at home for a huge plate and the same appetizer is $22, and my city is more expensive to live in. Heck, even amazing hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurants in Los Angeles (you know, one of the most expensive places to live) is cheaper than this place. And if this matters to anyone, the restaurant and restrooms are pretty beat up and dingy. It's not a comfortable or welcoming environment. If you're passing through like I was, don't be fooled by the good reviews. Keep driving.

I read that the food is all made fresh and expect it to take 1-2hrs to prepare. We ordered the yellow Thai curry with tofu - the tikka masala with cheese, garlic naan and the last one was Malaysian Laksa. The meal was full of flavor. Like others mentioned I have to highlight the coconut in the curry. A real treat for my tastebuds. Everything was superb. The Laksa was bursting with flavors as well. So good. It's one of those meals where you are trying to identify each herb and spice used. And just want to take your time with each bite to thoroughly enjoy. Very complex flavors and so delicious. The portions are very good and we are looking forward to enjoying the 2nd half for dinner again this evening. It really was a treat and we will be back when we are in the area again. You must try to understand! Kind of surprising to find such a culinary treat in such a small mountain area. Frazier is lucky to have this little gem!

I ordered the pad thai with combination of meats and it was absolutely delicious. This single item on the menu is what will keep me going back. The potstickers with the sauce were amazing as well. We also got the drunken noodles with combination of meats which we were not a fan of. Will definitely not be ordering this again. We were also disappointed that we requested extra meat and were charged for it, but it didn't seem to have extra compared to the pad thai. Another thing that seemed odd to us was that when paying at the restaurant upon pickup, the screen did not have an option to click "no tip", so that we could leave a tip in cash. Just something to keep in mind.
