    Wonton Soup BBQ Pork
    Karen T.

    Enjoyed a casual weekend lunch here with my husband. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and shown to our table. This restaurant has a more modern and contemporary atmosphere compared to a traditional Thai restaurant. I like how spacious and inviting the place felt. To start, we shared the Cream Cheese Rangoon appetizer. These are crunchy, creamy bites of imitation crab and cream cheese wrapped in wonton skin, served with a side of sweet chili dip. The tangy cream cheese tasted great combined with the crispy wonton skin. This is a great sharing dish. We also shared an order of the Wonton Soup BBQ Pork, a Cantonese-inspired soup dish with Thai touches. The portion for this seemed a bit small, with only 3 wontons total. It has a light chicken broth with hand-folded shrimp and chicken wontons, BBQ pork, napa cabbage, bokchoy, scallions, and fried garlic. Taste-wise, it was good. This is a solid choice if you want something light and aromatic. The star of our meal was definitely the Pad Thai. There are several protein options, including tofu, chicken, pork, and more. We decided to go with the pork. This dish is stir-fried rice noodles with egg, tofu, fresh bean sprouts, green onion, and crushed peanuts. It had the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, savory, and nutty flavors. The noodles were cooked perfectly and tasted super flavorful. I will definitely be coming back here whenever I am craving some yummy Thai food. The parking lot is shared with some other businesses and it seems that there are plenty of parking spots during most of the day. In addition to the onsite parking lot, there is nearby street parking if needed.

    Came here with a group of friends. This restaurant is located in a big plaza that has a lot of parking. This place is not noise at all that we are able to chat. We were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered chicken wings, tom yum soup with shrimp, pad Thai, pad see ew, some rice dishes, and mango sticky rice. I love the pad Thai and pad see ew, they are very flavorful, and not too oily! I have not had good Thai food in the 626 area for a long time! I did not try their rice dishes. The to yum soup was not overly sour, and I can taste the freshness of the shrimp. The skin of the chicken wing is crispy, which is how I like it! Will be back again for more food.

    Pad Thai, Crispy Fried Chicken
    Katie C.

    Needed something tasty for lunch. Thai food sounded like a great idea and this place hit the spot. We phone in our order and grabbed it for to-go. Glad the staff asked if we wanted it as a lunch combo, worth! Crispy Fried Chicken (lunch special)- we chose green salad which is pretty standard with sesame dressing, there was a hint of ginger which I personally loved. The chicken was definitely crispy, juicy and flavorful; batter was light and airy. The rice was seasoned well and a good texture. Would come back for this dish again. Pad Thai wasn't bad but wasn't the best I've had either. Noodles were pretty mushy and soggy. I would prefer a bit of a bounce.

    Thaihanese Chicken Plate
    Vanna T.

    Their lunch special here is really good. It comes with soup, a side appetizer entree, and a drink. We ordered a variety of items each time we stop by. From the shrimp pad Thai, beef pad see ew, chicken pad kee mao, ground chicken Thai basil, Thaihanese chicken, and crispy pork. Our favorite item is their shrimp donut which is not part of the lunch special. Their daikon soup is flavorful. Their Thai tea and chrysanthemum tea are tasty. Service is quick and nice. They took over the old Ten Ren location. Located in the same plaza as Smart and Final.

    Rad Nah Pork Combo
    Amy A.

    Went on a Friday evening around 6/6:30, waited probably 15 mins maybe a little longer to get seated. The place was packed and there were 3 parties ahead of us. Didn't feel too long bc the menus are on the door so it gave us time to figure out what we wanted. The selection is fantastic, there is a ton to choose from. The area was very clean despite being packed with people. The restrooms were also clean and well kept. Now the food - the food was DELICIOUS. I have tried a handful of the thai places and honestly I haven't had as great of an all around experience as we did here. The tofu was perfectly soft and crispy, the pad thai was a good balance sweet and savory. The plate was also huge!! I have so much leftovers. We split the green beans which was a nice portion for the 3 of us, and beware there is a good kick to the spicy ones! My friends got the chili basal and rad nah which they mentioned it was also very tasty. We all agreed we definitely need to return to try another dish as well! I also want to that our server was really great at recommending menu options. We also had a fish allergy in our group which they were accommodating with removing the fish sauce. They also accidentally made the green beans with the sauce as well but she came running out (literally) when she realized it was made with that (probably barely 30 seconds time had lapsed). Another nearby thai place was not like that and much less helpful about the allergy in our group. So overall we were very happy at the service, food, and experience. We are 100% going to return and bring more people.

    I'm always a little skeptical about trying a new Thai place since most eateries I've gone to have been pretty average, but let me tell you! Bangkok Soul was absolutely delicious and far exceeded my expectations! We ordered the half and half chicken, the larb salad and the fried bomb appetizer plate and each dish was a 10/10 and made fresh. The Thai tea was okay, but I think it had too much milk and not enough flavor. Other than that, I can't wait to return and eat here again.

    Pad See Ew with Tofu
    Jenny T.

    We wanted to get some Thai food and saw that this place has good reviews. We ordered the Pad Thai ($16) and Pad See You ($16). They definitely give you a lot of food. We had enough left over to make a second meal for both of us the next day. I really liked both plates. I usually go for pad see ew when I go to Thai places but the pad thai here is also really good! I was looking around and a lot of people also got the chicken satay and papaya salad, so maybe I'll try those out next time too. I would say that the appetizers seem a bit pricey considering they're about the same price as the main dishes, which kind of defeats the purpose of being an appetizer. A lot of items looked good on the menu though and I wish I could try them all. I do see that they also have a lunch menu on the weekdays, so hopefully if I make it in time I'll be able to try some more items from their menu through that.

    Boat noodles
    Christine L.

    First time at Bangkok Soul and we'll be adding this to our regular rotation. My son ordered their half & half chicken plate and I got their Thai boat noodles. Both really good portions and full of flavor.

    Julie P.

    I Just found my new go to Thai spot and I'm kind of obsessed. It's a pretty big space right across from Kopan, but still feels warm and welcoming. We ordered a bunch to share such as the chicken curry, drunken noodles with beef, pad Thai with shrimp, and the crispy garlic wings (so good). And the strawberry lychee soda? Super refreshing and honestly a must. The vibe is cute and modern, service was attentive, and everything is reasonably priced. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. If you are in the area, you should check out too.

    Soul boat
    Amy L.

    I like how tbe lunch special comes with a drink and a side. The soul boat noodle was on the sweeter side and the meat kinda tasted like beef jerky. Couldve been boiling for too long. But its okay. I liked the meat or fish balls that it came with though. It was soft and went well with the sweet broth. For to go orders, there is a divider so that the noodles wont get soggy from the soup, which is always nice for noodle soups. Their thai tea was 80% milk so i felt like i was drinking iced milk. I got the curry croquette and its pretty good. Small but it might be because it was part of the lunch special. They also almost forgot my drink until i opened the bag and it was missing. Had to ask them for it. Maybe thats why the thai tea tasted mostly of milk. They probably rushed it. I would come back to trh other items though.

    Rib eye crying tiger steak. Very good!
    Alex B.

    This place is delicious! The kitchen definitely knows what they are doing! The flavor of all the dishes is fantastic and actually has a lot of authentic seasoning and depth. Rib eye and the sauce was tangy, savory, and sour. The pad Thai was perfect for my girl - very sweet. The half leg house special was the star of the show. Great mix of fatty pork and lean meat, along with really amazing bitter greens and natural juices. The sauce that came with it was incredible. Papaya salad was sweet and had a generous amount of peanuts. The pork jerky wasn't tough or chewy at all. It melted in your mouth. The crab rangoon were decent and the salt and pepper shrimp were REALLY good. Loved the sauce on the outside so much that I may have accidentally eaten a few shells! Service was friendly. We had a big party but they were accommodating and polite. Ambiance was very informal but I didn't mind that. Casual and simple seating.

    Spicy Eggplant

    Food was good Ambiance was good The service was great They have great lunch specials from 11-3 pm. We had the eggplant with chicken & pad seu with beef

    Pad see ew
    Sharlene D.

    I've been seeing this place all over my IG and Tik tok so I wanted to check it out! The restaurant is smaller than I expected but the decor was so nice and welcoming. The service was also pretty standard. We ordered: Pad Thai 6.5/10: on the sweeter side and was full of sauce. The noodles were bouncy how I like it but overall a bit too much of the marination for me. Pad see ew 8/10: this dish was also packed w flavor. I got the dish with beef and it wasn't chewy but my dad got 2 pieces that he had to spit out bc it was too chewy. Super savory dish also packed with flavor. It had that amazing wok smell too. Pineapple fried rice 7/10: pretty standard and can't go wrong. Curry flavored notes and not too oily. Tom kha soup pot 7/10: very coconutty and good flavor but a bit too salty. Fire catfish 8/10: I liked the way it was fried. Great crisp. There wasn't too much bone. Chinese broccoli with crispy pork 9/10: pork was flavorful a bit salty but the rice balanced it out. The pork was crispy on the outside and the meaty part was soft. Overall I think a lot of the food was packed with flavor but maybe a bit too salty for some people.

    First time at Boston Lobster on Lower Azusa Road and I was impressed!…read more I went with my son for a one-year-old's birthday party and somehow managed to arrive an HOUR late ‍. Thankfully, they were incredibly gracious and accommodating when we showed up. The food is served family style, so we got to sample a little bit of everything. The filet mignon medallions were delectable--tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. And the Lobster Noodles! This was my first time trying them and they absolutely delivered. The lobster was cut and fried in a way that made the meat tucked inside the shell really easy to get to, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. And that gravy... I was literally sucking on the lobster shell trying to get every last bit. So, so good. We also had a stir-fried green vegetable--possibly watercress--and it was delicious. Simple, savory, and cooked just right. I loved having something fresh and green alongside all the richer dishes. Great food, warm service, and such a fun meal to share with a group. I'll definitely be back.

The service is still great, the restaurant itself is decently clean and spacious. Sadly, the food just wasn't up to the standards I remember. Salt & Pepper Shrimp 3/10 - Poorly seasoned and lacking the crispiness I was expecting. The shrimp just didn't have much going for it. Mongolian Beef 4/10 - This was basically steamed beef with green onions. The dish lacked the caramelized, savory flavor I typically associate with Mongolian beef. Clams with Basil 5/10 - The flavor was decent, but the clams did not taste particularly fresh, which really took away from the dish. Pan-Fried Pork 2/10 - Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The pork didn't taste fresh, and the texture made it feel like it had been fried twice. The normally flavorful sauce it came with was also extremely bland. I'm actually very glad I came during lunch and paid lunch prices for these dishes. If I had paid dinner prices, I would have been extremely disappointed. The food from my previous visits weren't extraordinary, but at least it was "okay". However, after this visit, I have officially taken this restaurant off my rotation. I won't be returning.

Of all the Vietnamese sour soups we've had, this place was the best. It is like a savory version of a lemonade, where the sourness and sweetness is extremely intense, but perfectly balanced. I've tasted all sort items from this restaurant, from quail, to frogs, to snails, to cat fish, and everything has been executed to maximize the taste of the ingredient and sauce. Fish dishes would first be soft, flakely, moist, buttery, and then after the textures, you get hit with the intensities of the sauces. In French cuisine, sauce is king, and Vietnamese food is often times a blend of native and French techniques. This place's food quality punches well beyond it's patronage. I'm frankly surprised how empty this place is, and often times, I avoid writing reviews for my FAVORITE places, because after a review from me, the place gets crazy crowded and the prices go up. Unfortunately, this review is written post mortem. I do hope that this place can re-open someday. Until then, this place has set the bar for me, for all Vietnamese restaurants going forward. Will miss this place.

    Sáu Can Tho is honestly such a gem. Truly sad to see it close its doors. I feel like Vietnamese…read morerestaurants like these are difficult to find in the SGV. We ordered the clams, baked catfish, lotus root salad and the goat tenderloin. All the food here is absolutely delicious. The baked catfish is tender, buttery and flavorful. The baked catfish came with rice paper and veggies to wrap the fish in. The clams and lotus root salad were well seasoned and tasted fresh. The goat tenderloin was super tender and flavorful. Not too gamey either. Service was excellent. Our servers were extremely attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. There is plenty of seating in the restaurant but we made a reservation for the catfish to make sure that we had the chance to try it before they sold out. Going to miss this place!
