The place is big with outdoor seatings and cute interiors. We were seated immediately since the restaurant was pretty empty, may be coz we went a little late. We ordered Thai tea and Diet Coke, Thai tea was sweet and tasted good. In appetizers we ordered chicken potstickers which were 6peices in $7 and tasted good. For main course we ordered chicken egg noodles, drunken chicken doodles and kids noodle soup that came with chicken strips. Drunken chicken noodles was piping hot and so delicious, perfectly cooked chicken chewey flat noodles and sweet and hot sauces made the dish irresistible. The chicken egg noodles was dry (no gravy) but with lot of soya sauce, bean stouts, chili flakes chicken and egg noodles, we loved the whole combination. My daughter loved the chicken strips, they were hot and so soft, totally melted in our mouths. She finished all of it. The noodle soup was bland but perfect for kids. The entrees are expensive, around $22 to $24 for a dish but are totally worth it. Portions sizes are good enough. This is definitely our favorite place to go for Thai food now. The owner and serving staff were so kind and nice. Food was served quick too. Must visit Thai food place!

Our last visit there was a sign on the door that said prices have increased. I understand that. What we didn't expect was everything after that. The menu did indicate higher prices. We did not expect the slow service and probably the worst food experience here. After a while, the waitress finally took our order. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken. The wife ordered the pad Thai chicken. After a lengthy wait our food was delivered. Or what we thought was our food. Both dishes were a nightmare. Mine had hardly any chicken, A LOT of vegetables, all soaking in a what resembled a soupy sweet and sour mess. The wife was very displeased with hers as well. It was very strange this evening for sure. Not positive what happened this evening, but I'm going to stay away for a while. Not sure I'll return honestly. Whatever is/was going on, I hope they fix it and continue.

When you arrive parking…read moreis available in the lot behind the restaurant or parallel on the streets around the restaurant. Walking into the Khao Sen you'll feel like you've walked into a warm, intentional, and stylish restaurant. To be seated you'll first check in with the host and then be shown to your table. For drinks we ordered the mango passion fizz (mango, passion fruit, club soda) and the strawberry rose limeade (strawberry, rose, lime, club soda). Both looked nice presentation wise, but would definitely lean towards the mango passion fizz for the overall balance of flavors. For our appetizer we ordered a taste of all (vegetable gyoza, crispy krab sticks, crispy spring rolls, fried tofu, spicy chicken wings with side of each sweet chili sauce and sweet soy sauce) to be able to try most of the appetizers. Overall I would opt for the spicy chicken wings and pass on the other items. All of the appetizers were good but the spicy chicken wings were fried perfectly and had a great balance of spice/flavor. For entrees we ordered the Khao Soi (Northern Thai-style curry, egg noodles, crispy egg noodles, cilantro, scallion, pickled radish, shallots, lime) with chicken. The flavors were excellent and the chicken thigh was cooked to perfection. Almost if the chicken thigh was boiled or sous vide where it fell apart. We also ordered the Khao Pad (fried rice, egg, onion, Chinese broccoli, tomato, garlic, cucumber, cilantro, scallion) with sweet sausage which I wasn't sure if I would like but turned out to be excellent. The sweet sausage along with the flavors of the rice, broccoli, sweet onion, and egg made this dish one of my favorites. We were so full we couldn't make it to dessert but I heard the Thai Donuts with the Thai tea custard are excellent. If you are in the Fuquay-Varina area and are looking for good Thai food I definitely recommend stopping by Khao Sen. Looking forward to visiting again soon to try the other dishes.

A nice perk of this spot is that it's just a stone's throw away from free and plentiful lot parking. I'd make a reservation if you plan to come here on a weekend for dinner. The place was bustling, with almost all the tables full. It's bright, airy and modern looking inside. Which makes it the perfect place for a date night or celebration spot. At the same time, it's not stuffy or overly fancy. The menu is comprehensive with Thai favorites like Pad Thai and Pad See Ew with a large number of Japanese and Sushi items on the back. My friends tried the Thai Spicy level and I will say it was pleasantly hot without burning your tongue off. I ordered the bento box and was really happy with the quality of the sashimi and nigiri. Everything was tasty, and the portions were more than satisfying. If I had to make a nit on something that I didn't love (it's hard!), I'd say that the rice texture wasn't my favorite. It was a little dry. But other than that, I would definitely consider it for another night out.

Holy!! We had expectations from all of the recommendations, but what a complete disappointment…read more First let's start with the only positive-- the waitress and her service was perfect. She was so kind and was the absolute best part of our visit. She gave a range recommendations, very professional, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the meal. We are coming from the Irvine, CA area so we VERY familiar with top tier Asian food and possibly that impacted our standards vs others in the review section. Now on to the rest, there were so many flies that I ended up having to smash them on the window with a napkin--just gross! Then, my son's food was not flavored well at all and had HAIR in his noodles! The Pad Thai was really bad! It was a lighter color first of all, so maybe they added an ingredient that isn't standard in traditional Pad Thai, but it did not make it better at all; I could barely stomach it. Then, there was a huge egg shell in the dish that somehow the cook let come out and served to us. The sweet and sour chicken portion was outrageously small for a dinner portion, and the dish was smothered with sauce but somehow the chicken was dry as if it was day old or several days old chicken. The cashew chicken, the same, dry chicken that was being covered up with the sauce and we had to chew a great deal. The sweet tea, it just tasted like they put a bunch of sugar packets in and was worse than a McDonald's sweet tea. Their white rice was not moist at all and we could've just done without it. Out of the sushi we ordered, the spicy tuna was good, but the rest was grocery store quality sushi and extremely small portion. In my opinion, people rave about this place because it is 'different' and plays into an upscale restaurant as you can see with their overpriced items. This place doesn't hold a candle to shopping center Thai fusion in California. I have lived in many states and am not a snotty Californian, but man oh man I can tell you this one is a fail. The only star for this visit goes to the waitress (she was a 5) but if I could give this a zero for the food, I would. Don't waste your time or money.

My husband and I just recently moved to Apex and found this Thai restaurant near us! We were…read morecraving Thai food during this gloomy, rainy sort of afternoon. This place was cranking out to go orders while we were there so I had a feeling it was a good spot. The interior is modest, but the staff are so sweet and attentive- any time a dish was ready they brought it out piping hot! Very much appreciated that! We started out with crab Rangoon. They were crispy, creamy, and overall a banger! My husband got the "ginger dish" with chicken; he went into a trance while eating it, started wolfing it down. He says it was light, sweet and savory, the ginger making it refreshing which was nice for the summer heat. I got the pad Thai with shrimp, the shrimp were absolutely perfect! Plump and juicy; the server had asked about my spice level (1/5) and I got a 2 which I think was also just right! I also am grateful they de-tailed the shrimp (some places don't) so you could just dig in and enjoy all the flavors with no hassle of pulling the tails off yourself. With summer winding down, and drizzly days ahead we are definitely looking forward to coming back and having another cozy dinner!

It was packed with tofu, Chinese eggplant, bamboo shoots, bell pepper, and Thai basil. Super creamy with a good amount of spice. - Thai Style Macaroni: This was a sleeper hit, I was surprised by how much I liked it. It had macaroni, egg, onion, tomato, and scallion stir fried in tomato soy sauce. Umami deliciousness. - Thai Iced Tea: This was okay- balance b/w sweetness (too much) and tea flavor (too little) was off. - Mango Sticky Rice: Classic! The mango was sweet and refreshing, the rice was warm and sticky. I wish they put more of the coconut sauce on the rice though. Ambiance, of course, is great; we didn't get seated in a particularly aesthetic area bc of our large party size, but this spot is very cute. We came for a Friday lunch during commencement weekend so it was understandably busy, but our party of 8 was able to get in after just 30 minutes, which I feel is pretty good. Our server was kind and accommodating. There is a parking lot, but you must not wander off the Carr Mill Mall property or you may get towed. 9.5/10 would recommend!

We came in with some friends on a Monday to celebrate a birthday. My friend has a gluten and dairy allergy, which was actually no problem here. So if that is a dietary concern for you or a loved one - this is a great spot to bring them! We were all able to enjoy a majority of the food. My partner and I both enjoyed a mocktail version of the roselle freezy - it was amazing! Either as a mocktail or a cocktail, you should try this drink. For starters, we had the crispy chicken wings, spring rolls with veggies, and the lettuce wraps. We all enjoyed the chicken wings so much that we got a second order of them. I enjoyed the spring rolls much more than the lettuce wraps as they had more flavor to them. For dinner, we shared an order of the Manda Amphone's Curry and the chicken pad thai. I originally did not expect to be blown away by the pad thai - boy, was I wrong. This is hands down the best pad thai I have ever had. If you love pad thai, you need to try theirs. I also thoroughly enjoyed the curry. Both dishes were rich and flavorful and came with enough to share between 4 adults. Overall, not having been to Bida Manda in 10+ years, I was impressed and will definitely return.
