Excellent Thai food! It was a bit hard to find because it is located in the Visalia brewing bar. Just keep going past the bar and it is a window where you order. The two people working there were so nice and helpful. Food took a while but please be patient, it is so worth it. We got the pad see ew, pad Thai, and Laos papaya salad. So so delicious! I could not stop eating the papaya salad even though it was way too spicy for me. The pad see ew is one of the best I have ever had. The noodles were perfectly chewy and soft with a great flavor from the wok. I am so sad I'm just visiting because this would've definitely been my regular Thai place. read more

It took me a minute to realize this spot is actually located inside Visalia Brewing Company. Once you walk in, there's a small window to the kitchen where you order at the counter, grab a number, and wait for your food. Everything appears to be made fresh to order, so it took a little while for my meal to come out -- but the wait was definitely worth it. The Pad Thai was delicious, with the perfect balance of sweetness and salt. A squeeze of lime added a nice zest, though honestly, it was flavorful enough on its own. The Thai iced tea was a bit light on milk for my taste, but still enjoyable. Since it's inside VBC, you can grab a beer while you wait -- which would've been nice -- but I was on my lunch break and had to head back to work. Downtown Visalia only has street parking, so finding a spot can be a bit challenging. Overall, a solid lunch spot, especially if you're not in a rush. read more

When I was a boy I was getting beat up by this big kid named Israel. I was on my back getting the day lights smacked outta me. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see my friend Jesus running full speed at Israel. My friend tackled him so hard and kicked his butt six ways to Sunday. Safe to say, Israel never bothered me again. Moral of the story is, Jesus saved me. Literally. Anyways One bite of Chan's chicken pad Thai and I feel like Jesus is watching over me! Two bites and I Remember Israel face when it was getting smashed in. Three bites and I Remember Jesus picking me up and telling me "I got you bro". Delicious, flavorful, affordable and soul filling. I ABSOLUTELY recommend you give them a try. read more

The food the service and the quality. Everything we've tried has that scratch made and fresh ingredients taste. If you want all that at a good price then you need to try this place. It's in the back of VBC and seems an odd place, but it's definitely worth it. Sometimes the wait can be long because it is a small kitchen and your patience will pay off. read more

Was craving Thai food and heard a lot about this quaint hidden gem. We didn't know what to expect and to our surprise the experience was actually very pleasant. The little spot was sunk back in the corner of the Visalia Brewing Company, right past the bar. You order at the counter and you can sit anywhere in the bar. The music was loud but it didn't bother me too much as every song took me back to my high school days! We order the spring rolls and they were big and the dipping sauce packed a spicy punch which I was not expecting. The chicken pad Thai was good yet I was hoping for a lightly different flavor but still good. We added fried rice and that too was yummy. And lastly we order Thai ice tea and to our delight they offered us the option for coconut milk instead. I will say it was pretty sweet but it helped to defuse the heat of the spring rolls dipping sauce. Ohhh and one last thing...the prices were GREAT!!!!!! We will definitely be back. read more

The trifectaaaaa! Lao, thai, and Vietnamese food?! Say less, I'm in. Located inside of VBC, towards the back you will find the counter to order. Portion sizes are generous and you can share; not to mention very affordable. I would say cash is the preferred payment method but they do offer Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay and cash app. Service was good. Food did take some time to come out but just grab a drink and chit chat and by the time you know it, the food will be there. They offer spice level 1-5 and we got everything a 2-3 and it was flavorful and not overly spicy. chicken and rice to start us off. 10/10 Delicious, hot, and the sauce on the side was very flavorful. Would honestly say it's better than lady's chicken and rice and I love that place. Spicy chicken noodles and pad thai. Packed with flavor and made with love. If you're in the area I highly recommend this place for some good food. Will be back and try different things next time. read more

This spot is amazing. It's inside VBC. Went on a wednesday afternoon with my mom just to check it out. Ordered spring rolls, spicy noodles and chicken and rice. Our order took about 30 minutes. Everything we ordered was perfect. Tasted like it was made to order, so I didn't mind the wait. Went with friends today on a busy saturday. 2 orders of beef jerky, 2 Chicken wings, papaya salad Lao style, Padthai, spicy shrimp, and 3 Thai teas. It took like 1 hour for our order to come out. Worth the wait. Every dish was perfect, but expect a wait time. Definitely coming back with mom and friends. This tiny kitchen serves amazing food. I'm in love. read more

Been searching for a good replacement Thai restaurant since we left our hometown, and this is the best we've found in Visalia. Great flavor, good portions and good service. The location isn't ideal if you're looking for a quiet sit-down spot, but it's absolutely worth it for takeout. We got the stir fry and spicy noodles, both at 5/5 heat. My wife and I are spice heads--especially when it comes to Thai food--so while it had a decent kick, we might ask for 6/5 spice next time. Looking forward to trying the curry and other dishes. read more

Decided to give the place a shot due to the pad Thai. I placed a bigger than average order and granted the wait time would have been understandably longer than normal but they took over an hour to get our food. The place was not even packed as only one person was ahead of us. The food was nothing to rave about I would say mid level. I left a cash tip but regret tipping. read more

Wow! What a pleasant surprise. Very good Pad Thai and Spicy Noodles! Super friendly folks! Not my normal ambiance, but worth it for the food. Good prices too. read more

Really good food just takes over 45 minutes just to receive your food. It's so crowded because it's in a bar.

Chan's Thai Cuisine has this cool hidden-gem vibe. It's tucked in the back of a bar, making it feel like an "if you know, you know" spot. That part set a great first impression. We ordered the combination pho, the chicken pho, and the pad thai. Flavor-wise, everything was wonderful. The broth was rich and comforting, the pad thai was well-balanced, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality. Customer service was also excellent. Friendly, welcoming, and attentive. That said, the biggest drawback was the wait time. We waited about 40 minutes for our food, and the portions were fine, not small and not large, but average. If the portions had been generous, the long wait would have felt genuinely worth it. But when you wait that long and the portions are just okay, it kind of puts things into perspective. I really wanted to love this place because so much of it worked. Great flavors, fair pricing, and awesome service. Unfortunately, the long wait combined with average portion sizes makes it hard for me to see myself coming back. Because of that, and only that, I'm landing at 3 stars. A solid experience overall, just not one I'd repeat given the wait. read more

Food was great! Will definitely be back. Taste was very similar and comparable to Davorn's but with her own twist. Prices are affordable for the amount of food given. Upside is that it's inside of a bar, so you're able to enjoy a drink while waiting for your food. The wait for food wasn't too bad as well. Considering that she's the main person cooking everything. We honestly didn't wait too long for our food to come out. Overall for the food, I would give it a 8/10. I didn't care too much for the Pad Thai due to the strong tamarind taste but everything else was amazing. Highly suggest trying their Lao Style Papaya Salad if you're feeling adventurous on taste. It is spicy depending on how many peppers you want (we got 5). read more

Delicious, best pad Thai I've had in Visalia . I was surprised because it's quite literally a 'whole in the wall' at Visalia Brewing. Woman running it was super sweet too. Oh and great Thai tea! read more

I really wanted to love and support this place but after traveling all day I was really looking forward to a quick and delicious Thai dinner. There were 3 parties ahead of me and I ordered a papaya salad appetizer and a chicken pad see ew. It ended up taking 50 minutes for me to even get the papaya salad. An hour for the pad see ew. I don't think I've ever waited that long for Thai food and I really wish the guy would have told me it would take that long. The bar was blasting music (which is great if you are here for that environment) but not so great as a solo traveler waiting that long for food. It would have been nice to at least received an apology for an hour wait. Papaya salad was good but pad see ew was very underwhelming. $30 and an hour later, it was a very disappointing experience. read more

The food is 5 out of 5 stars. I love the potstickers, pad see ew and chow mein! The staff is very nice. My only hesitation is the wait time. I would totally go back but on a day that I am in no rush. read more

Had the opportunity to swap in this place today for lunch. It was excellent. I ordered the pets you chicken and an order of the blanket shrimp which came with this spicy sweet-and-sour sauce. Everything was delicious the pets you had a little bit of char on it, which took it to the next level. Definitely recommend this place if you're in or around the Visalia downtown area.

The best thai cuisine I have ever tried in California! At first, me and my husband had a hard time looking for this place because it is located inside a brewery but the address is correct..just get inside the brewery and you will find Chan's Thai Cuisine. The service is excellent because it is a family owned business. I hope that they will open a branch in Los Angeles. This place is indeed a hidden gem. Excellent quality food and it is also affordable. We will definitely visit them again soon when we are in the area. The ambiance is great and the place is clean. We forgot to take pictures but we ordered spicy shrimp, fried rice and spring rolls. read more

Terrible service waited over an hour for our food only to find out that it was never placed with the cook. Paid in advance so had to get money back. Will never go here again. Do not waste your time and money VBC was great but not the restaurant in the back. read more

We went when they were about 15 minutes from closing. They still accommodated us. The food was fresh and delicious. Setting is in a bar. But we were there for the food. All in all it was delicious, fresh, and service was great. read more

Great, authentic flavors and very nice people. Really enjoyed the spring rolls and fried rice!

Chan is located inside the bar all the way in back. You will not see their business sign as they burly starting again. Definitely is a stop you need to make if you are craving Thai food and beer. Next time, I visit Vasalia, CA to see my nephew again a stop will happen to taste new dishes from their menu and will create a content video for you guys can follow along on my YouTube channel. read more

Family decided to stop by based on the reviews after our trip to Sequoia. 10/10 did not disappoint. I've been to many Thai restaurants and this one does it best. Staff were very professional and accommodating. We ordered the pho, fried rice, and pad see ew. All of them were top notch. If only they have another restaurant back in LA, we would be regular customers for sure. If we ever pass by the area, we will definitely be stopping by. read more
