The tables well spaced out and even counter seats if you want a quick bite. Ordered one of the best sellers, Nam Khao Tod which was impressively full of flavor with crispy coconut rice, sausage, ginger, onion and scallions, holding off on the peanuts due to food allergies which they graciously accommodated. Served with plenty of lettuce. Our second dish was the Hot Basil with chicken. Very aromatic with fresh basil, onion, peppers and tender chicken, served with steamed rice. Can't wait to go back and try something new along with one of their desserts, which, unfortunately, we didn't have any room for during this visit.

It was delicious. The wait staff was friendly. She said spice levels were 1-5. My husband and I asked her what spice level she would get for herself to get a sense of the 1-5 scale they offer and she said "7 out of 5." We ordered a 5 and were happy with it. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

I know that I'm in authentic by not liking the stinkier, more pungent, Lao style papaya salad, but I prefer the Thai style. I said what I said. And this place is legit!

Plenty of very hot fiery Thai chilies? Check. Dried shrimp on top? Check. A wedge of white cabbage to cool things down? Check. Basically, an incredible sophisticated yet simple dish that I crave every so how often and love to take home with me.

I came in person recently with 9 friends. They were able to accommodate us even though we were just…read morewalking in. The woman was super friendly even though it was a little chaotic. At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.

Hidden in the Little Saigon area of City Heights, this humble eatery has stood the test of time thanks to loyal regulars, consistent great taste, and solid value for money. They specialize in Cantonese and Vietnamese-style noodles: classic wonton noodles, Vietnamese beef noodle soup, and Southeast Asian stir-fried noodles. Broths are slow-simmered with pork bones and dried flounder, paired with house-made thin egg noodles that have a nice springy texture and wheat aroma. Highly recommend the Sate Beef Rice Noodle, Sate Beef Tripe with Turnip Dry Noodles, and roast duck. Portions are generous, affordable, and the restaurant is clean and tidy. A top pick for noodle lovers!

Sweet: even though ownership changed they still have the same servers that remember us even though we don't come as much as we used to. The menu for the most part is still the same. They still offer our favorite items such as the salty pork, honey walnut shrimp, chow Mein, house fried rice and wonton egg noodle soup. The restaurant has since new ownership is much cleaner inside. You can either make it family style or have one entree for yourself. One entree is plentiful for one person. Sour: our most recent experience there were some slight changes like the texture and taste of the salty pork. It seemed like it was cooked healthier as it wasn't nice and crispy as usual. The size of the dishes are still the same more on the small size but higher cost. The food is not quite the same as it used to be but it is still pretty good. Unfortunately I feel like SD lacks in the Chinese cuisine options but this place will probably remain a favorite Chinese option for my family for the time being.
