Pad kee mao
Jan H.

Food was delicious. It's tucked away into a casino building, but good food! Will be back!

Thai Tea is what will wake you up (orange stuff) & Tom Yom kha with chicken!
Vida L.

Don't be deterred by the interior of this restaurant or the state of disrepair of the exterior which it shares with another restaurant and a casino. They served our food in to-go containers, aesthetically lacking, however, don't get up and leave just yet!!! The food is the most authentic you'll ever taste! The soup was so delicious that I had to do a double sip and a slurrrrp! That Tom Yon Kha was absolutely TASTY! The Pad Thai was packed full of goodness, and just enough spice to keep your salivary glands producing as every tasty morsel hit my mouth. The owner and his wife have trained the chef to make all the recipes authentically! It's a sleepy little town that houses a gem of a place to have the most surprising and amazing meal!

Half full rice noodle boxes
Joshua O.

We called several times and no answer, but our kids really wanted Thai food so we decided to go order in person, as it was still 45 minutes from close and across the street from our hotel. When we arrived there was a sign that said "Pick up only. No dine in" The woman at the desk said, "We are too busy, I didn't have time to answer the phone." Looking around the restaurant, there were only 3 tables and 8 total people. She told us that we could place an order to go as they were a little backed up it would be about 20 minutes to get our food. 30 minutes in, she came and told us they had a "mishap" and the button on the rice cooker didn't work so they didn't have rice for our curry or mango dishes. She asked if they could substitute rice noodles in place of the rice, and we agreed. 55 minutes later, we finally got our food. After a quick, "Sorry for the mishap," we were offered no discount, no additional food, nothing. Sadly, the insult didn't end there! Once we returned to the hotel to eat, we found that the noodle boxes were half full at best (see pic). The green curry and fried rice were tasty, the drunken noodles were just ok, the mango chicken was underwhelming, and the mango sticky rice was "ok" per the kids. Was expecting a lot more based off prior reviews

Losers. Arrived at 7:56 with a closing time of 8:30. Turned away a party of eight very hungry locals. Never again. Was told "my lobby closed at 8pm and look at the picture attached. Pathetic. The worst part was the waitress- you could tell she didn't care one iota at all- we didn't even argue- this establishment didn't deserve a dollar from us.

Pad Thai to go
Chee Keat F.

This is mid-June of 2021. The restaurant still isn't open for dine in yet as they are understaffed, so we had our food to go. The pineapple fried rice and Pad Thai we tried were very good. I've had a lot of Pad Thai, and this is among the best that i have tried. Who would have thought that this was possible in a small-town Thai restaurant! Don't be put off by the slightly higher prices. You get a generous portion for your money. Each order could have easily fed two. Service was great, and the restaurant staff were very friendly.

This place is pretty legit! Passing through on a road trip and needed some Asian food. I can only go so long on burgers and fries before I go crazy. They are only doing to-go orders because of covid. The phone number took me straight to voicemail three times, so we decided to drive over and put an order in. It took them 35 minutes and came out piping hot and yummy. The pad kee mao with pork was ok... not enough spice at a medium level maybe. Had fresh ingredients and good medium width noodles... not super wide. The winner of the meal was the pad garlic with chicken. I loved the blend of spices and the Thai basil really stood out. Highly recommend this dish.

Green curry with pork
Cory C.

Seeing all the 5 star reviews here, I was excited about getting some authentic Thai food here. When we walked in, there were a decent number of tables occupied. The wait staff were extremely friendly and nice, but perhaps they need more staff, because it took a while for them to get our order, and then it took about an hour for the entrees to come. The appetizer - potstickers - came out quickly. These aren't the traditional potstickers I'm used to that are made with flour and steamed/pan-fried. Rather, they stuffed thinner wonton wrappers and then deep fried the whole thing. They actually tasted pretty good, though, and weren't too greasy. My mom and I both ordered the pad see ew (wide rice noodles stir fried in a sweet and savory brown sauce). Unfortunately, it was so salty that we couldn't even enjoy it. It's very rare for me to send stuff back. When I asked if we could get some plain noodles to mix in and dilute it, the chef came out, apologized, and said she would recook our dishes with plain noodles. When it came back, it tasted so much better. My brother ordered the green curry, which was amazing. The broth was rich and flavorful, but not too salty. It's definitely one of the best curries I've tried. My dad got pad cashew with shrimp. It was seasoned well and everything was fresh. I wavered between 3 and 4 stars here, due to the long wait and the initial saltiness of the pad see ew. However, based on the curry, the fixed pad see ew, and the friendliness/helpfulness of the waitresses and chef, I chose to give 4 stars.

I was talking to the kitchen staff and told them that AI told me about the dumplings and to please hold an order in case I had to take it to go. Front of house Staff were great, the kitchen were guys amazing, and the place was clean The ppl I sat around were all very happy with their food. One couple lived in Bozeman and the other couple were from New Orleans. They both spoke highly of the place. Go try it. Call ahead. I tend to wing it and that's not the best way to go. I got lucky :) David

We had a large group, so we ended up booking the mid-tier set menu. Note that if you're a cilantro hater...almost every dish on this set menu contained cilantro, except for maybe 1-2 dishes and obviously the desserts. It's not explicitly stated in the ingredients for each dish, so we didn't initially think it would be an issue for the member of our party that didn't like cilantro. But as each dish came out, we saw that they LOVE to use cilantro here. Just something to be aware of. If you hate cilantro maybe you should ask them to leave it out of whatever you order. Highlights from this set menu for me were the Sichuanese Beef Salad and the Lazi-Ji Chicken Wings. The chicken wings had a nice spicy kick! Everything on the menu was decent, although the curries were a bit underwhelming and watery. The Coconut and Pandan 'Tres Leches' Cake was good too, although I didn't taste the pandan flavor at all. I enjoyed the lamb skewers, but I know not everyone likes lamb, so it's interesting that they have it on the mid and upper tier set menus. I feel like they should probably provide an alternative option for those who find lamb too gamy. Overall, a great option if you're looking for Asian food in the area!

We drive by Pho Sai Gon and I told my husband to turn around and go back. Pho Sai Gon is in a building among other businesses and is bigger on the inside than it appears to be (sort of like the tardis...). There was a short line at the host stand, which I didn't mind until the hostess forgot to come back for us as she had promised after she sat the couple in front of us. Twenty minutes later and we were in the front of a line that surpassed the door. The hostess finally came back and apologized, admitting that she forgot about us...and the line that grew after us. The decor is simple and there were pantry items in the middle of the restaurant that I'm assuming were either for sale or perhaps the kitchen is tiny (?). The hostess ended up also being our server. It was the middle of a work week and an odd meal time (2pm), so the restaurant wasn't that busy. For my entree, I ordered the chicken pho. It was good/pretty standard pho. My husband ordered the broken rice with chicken and beef. He thought it was subpar as his beef was room temperature. All in all, a solid 3-star experience that served the purpose of warming me up.

I came here while on a Christmas Trip to Big Sky. I still think about this place. I don't know what…read moreall the bad reviews are about so I'd like to address my experience. People say their service is slow: However I experienced the complete opposite. We were using the bus system and let the staff know that we only had about 30 minutes to dine before the bus left. They were extremely accommodating. Within 5 minutes our food came out. Food: The food is amazing. Don't know whether or not it is "authentic" but it is great. We got the fried dumplings and it was super good. I also HIGHLY recommend the Pad Woon Sen. My boyfriend got another dish but we both loved the Pad Woon Sen by far. I will say I added chicken to my dish and wish they added a bit more as it was pretty scarce. Anyway, I have tried to find other Thai places that compare, but have been out of luck. Also, this place had HUGE portions. I eat a lot (like a pound of meat in one sitting) and this was insanely filling. One dish is good enough for two people. Price: *I am from Los Angeles so this may be skewed*. People are saying this place is expensive. I couldn't disagree more. I believe our check was around 50 dollars for 2 dishes, an appetizer, and beer. Not only that but the dishes were huge. This place has great value. I totally recommend this place. Not sure if something changed since December but I am excited to come back.

Average Thai. Slow Service…read more The restaurant is very small, very casual. They do not take reservations, but you can be added to a waitlist when you arrive. Note that groups of more than 5 will be divided and seated separately. They also charge 20% gratuity for groups of 5+ Service was extremely slow and haphazard. We had 2 tables for 6 people (3 and 3) - One Table received their appetizers and then one of their meals before the second table even received an Appetizer. The second table received two of their meals before their appetizer, with the third meal taking another 20 minutes. The meals came out staggered, with 30 minutes between the first and last person receiving their meal. The server never returned, kitchen staff brought out the food, and the server had to be flagged down twice for water refills. The food did come out very hot and fresh, and the portions were large. Use caution with the spice level, as a 2 was quite spicy for someone with a fairly high tolerance. They had the option to add local bison as your protein, which was unique. And they offer a blue crab fried rice, however, not enough crabmeat/flavor to justify the upcharge or "specialty". We were disappointed that they do not have Thai Tea on the menu! (and advertising $8 Huckleberry margaritas only to be out of huckleberry syrup)
