    I have visited numerous times over the last two years, and I am still amazed by the complexity of…read moreflavors in every dish. Pad See Ew: Perfectly chewy noodles and tender beef in a sauce that balances sweet, savory, and smoky notes. Spicy Basil Chicken: A delectable chili sauce packed with umami and fragrant Thai basil. Kao Neaw Neaur Kem: Tender, smoky Thai-style beef jerky served over a bed of perfectly sticky rice. Moo Yang Kao Neaw: Marinated grilled pork that is delectably smoky and garlicky with just the right hint of sweetness. Kao Moo Dang: Fragrant jasmine rice topped with BBQ pork, sausage, and a killer house-made sauce. Wham Rolls: They come with a house-made tamarind peanut dipping sauce that is ridiculously good- it's worth getting the rolls just to be blown away by that creative dipping sauce. On my last visit, the cashier recognized me from the countless times I visited Bangkok House and Spice Me.  She shared that the owner--the woman with the glasses who greets everyone with a genuine smile--had been a cook at one of the restaurants for years and had dreamed of having her own restaurant. With the opening of What a Meals, she finally stepped out on her own. Knowing that this food comes from someone following her lifelong dream makes every bite taste even better! While it's long overdue, I love that the gastronomic diversity of the Bay Area is finally expanding to the coast so locals have cuisine options beyond fried seafood/Italian/Mexican.

    It was an adventure to just find a parking space in the parking lot. This is an outdoor shopping…read morecenter with numerous businesses ringing around the center parking lot. Probably on most days, parking wouldn't be as much of a challenge. However, today, and probably over the past few days, repaving, oil sealing and restriping of the parking lot reduced parking by no more than 25% but created havoc on traffic flow by 200%. Once we got parked, we walked to the restaurant. There was no parking in front of the restaurant due to the restriping. We had to sit outside because we had our dog with us. Fortunately, the area near where we were sitting had already been oil sealed, otherwise we would have left due to the smell. The hostess was kind enough to bring water to us and our dog. The menu is kind of a mess. We were handed three. Two were the same and the third contained "new items". They need to consolidate the menus in a way that makes sense, so similar dishes won't be found in different places. On one of the menus, I saw Roti with a Chicken and Onion Yellow Curry offered as an Appetizer. That was the only Roti that I saw. What was delivered to the table was Roti with a small saucer of Sweetened Condense Milk. Not even close to what I had been expecting. I didn't complain because the Roti itself was good. We just didn't use the Sweetened Condensed Milk. When I asked about it at the end of our meal, it turns out that they offer three different Roti dishes. The one that I expected, the one that I got and one with Massamun Curry that I could not remember seeing on the menu. The dish that my wife ordered was out of stock so she made an impromptu change at the suggestion of the server to a Egg Noodle in Yellow Curry Dish which I can't seem to find in the online menus on yelp. Service was good in that they checked on us fairly frequently. We know that it's tough running a small business and menu changes help to drive the business volume and can keep customers returning. But, at the same time, the menu has to be intuitive and user friendly. Roti with Sweetened Condensed Milk - 4 - I asked and was told that they do not make the Roti in house. That's too bad because I'm a huge fan of Roti Telur with Egg. What they served filled the bill when I dipped it in my wife's Curry Sauce. The Sweetened Condensed Milk turns Roti into a dessert when what I was looking for was an appetizer. Pad See Ew - 3 - The noodles were fine and I really appreciated the Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) over the more common American Broccoli. The sauce was a bit sweeter than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised to find a total of 7 shrimp in the dish, especially when the dish was $12 + $3 for the shrimp. Egg Noodles in Yellow Curry with Chicken - 3 - The Sauce was very thin, but the flavor was really good and came in handy for dipping the Roti. She said that she wished that there had been more noodles. In general, the pricing seems to be pretty inexpensive. I don't remember seeing that different proteins had different prices and that could cause problems in the future. Many other restaurants will list the price for the basic dish and then show the add-on price for the various proteins. When we got our check, we were given the wrong check and the difference in price was nearly double. I was told that the Point of Sales software will not allow them to put Table Numbers on the checks and that they have to look at each check to ensure each table receives the correct check. It appears that they've been open for just over one year. The people are very nice. The prices are quite reasonable. The flavors could just be a personal thing, but I can only rate based on my experience and preferences just like anyone else. I would consider returning when in the area. Next time, I would pay more exacting attention to the menus to ensure that what I received was what i wanted.

    The spring rolls here have been a staple in my regular rotation since they opened and for good…read morereason: they are consistently satisfying. Every bite is packed with fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and perfectly seasoned pork. I'm also a fan of their banh mi--I always ask for extra pickled vegetables, and it hits the mark every single time. Recently, I finally branched out and tried the pho; it's a solid option for those blustery coastal days. Also...it's the little things. The owner always remembers I'm a hot sauce fan--she even gives me a knowing smile and holds up the containers as she packs my order, just to let me know she's got me covered. Moving to this side of the hill years ago was a bit of a culture shock. Having been raised in the Bay Area food mecca, I went from having the world at my fingertips to essentially only having two options: Italian or Mexican. Having lived through decades of those limited choices, I feel incredibly lucky every time I walk through these doors. I truly hope people continue to show this business love so they remain a local fixture for a long time to come!
