Gotta be honest--most of the food in Temecula is pretty underwhelming. So when I find a good place,…read moreI wanna shout it from the rooftops. Consider me standing, shouting, from roofs on high. This place is delicious. Although I'm sad I didn't know about it before now, I'm damned glad I know about it now. The papaya salad was fantastic, as was the pad Thai. We also had the crispy pork with the sticky rice, and I couldn't be happier. Spice level 3 was still spicy but was manageable. Yup, it's a strip mall. But inside still felt nice. Service was fine, and tons of people got their orders to go. Turns out that even though I was sleeping on this place, tons of others weren't--consider this your alarm clock.

We've been frequenting this place since it opened. Not only it's so conveniently close to our…read moreplace, food is great, as well as the service; price is reasonable and there's ample parking considering it's in between restaurants, bar and a nail salon. Pechanga mart/gas station is just next door. Place is cozy, artful designs with live plants. There's a couple of servers but they're attentive enough to cater to your needs. Our favorites are panang curry (chicken for me) and pad see ew. What I love most are the vegetables, they're crunchy meaning they're not fully cooked so it's nutrient. We come at least 2-3x a month and will definitely keep coming back for a Thai food craving!

YES THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE PAD THAI that is authentic and flavorful. You'll be craving it by the end of this photo post!

It was our first time here, and we ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup and the shrimp spring rolls to…read moreshare. Oh my goodness, everything was so delicious! The broth in the Tom Yum soup was incredibly flavorful with the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and spicy flavors. If I ordered it again, I would probably choose shrimp instead of chicken because I think the shrimp would complement the broth even better and bring out the flavors more. That said, the chicken was still tasty, and we both really enjoyed it. The shrimp spring rolls were also amazing, but the real star for me was the peanut sauce. It was so good that I had to order an extra side because I kept adding more and more to every bite. The customer service was excellent as well. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The atmosphere is great whether you're grabbing a casual meal, meeting up with friends, or having a date night. They also offer lunch specials, which looked like a great value, but we were in the mood for soup this time. The portions were generous, and everything was reasonably priced. We're definitely coming back because those sweet garlic chicken wings are calling our names! I can't wait to return and bring the rest of my family to try this place too. Highly recommend!

Staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the Panang Curry and Thai Fried Rice. Both on the spicier scale, 3 curry, 4 rice out of 5. The curry flavor was very enjoyable. It could use a little more variation of vegetable but when I make it at home I like lots of veggies. The Thai Fried Rice was good, spicy, and I am not sure if it was on purpose but the great variation of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, grean) allowed each bite to be distinctive based on what the pepper added. There were not too many but I thought they added to the dish. My only question was the interior design. It is aged, and just pedestrian. Maybe a more up to date vibe isn't needed, but I think it could add to a location that had amazing food. Still 5 stars on the dining and a sleeper for great food.

They also have lunch specials that are very reasonably priced. You won't be disappointed if you decide to dine here.

New to the area and wanted to try out their boat noodles and papaya salad. Read a lot of great…read morethings about those 2 items in the reviews. Located right near the freeway but had plenty of shared parking. When we went in we were greeted right away. Small dining area with a few tables. There was a diner and take out orders. I ordered boat noodles, Lao style papaya salad (som-tum), kawneaw-mooping. The boat noodles were good, but no tripe included. Very thick and potent. Flavors were good. They have spice options and also have a spice rack if you need more spice. The som-tum most likely comes Thai style but I requested Lao style which they accommodated to. I got the spiciest level but it wasn't that spicy to me. The pork skewers that came with sticky rice was well flavored and had that smoky charred grilled taste which was nice.

The restaurant was clean but the food wasn't particularly fresh. The restaurant closed at 8:30 but by 8 the staff started visibly closing up (e.g. turning off the TV, lights, closing blinds, etc.) in what we interpreted as a not-so-subtle attempt to get us to pay our tab and leave. It was uncomfortable. I won't be back---lots of other Thai restaurants with superior food and friendly service in the area.

We walked up to order & took our food to go. We ordered common Thai dishes- noodles and red curry…read more Noodles were tasty, chicken was tender. I had the red curry, great flavors & right amount of spice. Their scale is out of 5 and I got a 4- so it was spicy. I didn't care for the bamboo shoots in my curry so I might ask about that next time I order. Can't wait to try their other curry. The mango sticky rice wasn't bad, had the right amount of sweet. The mangos were ripe but the rice might have been a little dry for my preference. Definitely going back to try more of their food and ordering over the phone now that I've been inside. The vibe was quiet inside, and it's not a server type of customer service. You go to the front to order then have a seat.

The food and prices are pretty decent here. I've never dined in but have ordered through GrubHub…read moretwice. So I can't speak for the dining experience or any service or lack there of. So the 1st time I ordered in February, the food came lopsided like they had it tilted in the bag but okay no problem since it wasn't something that contained any liquids so I didn't mind. It was actually pretty good. We got the beef drunken noodles (which was what was lopsided in the container), sticky rice, papaya salad, and beef salad (which spilled a little but not too much). They were smart enough to bag the papaya salad up in a bag and put inside the container. I also requested the papaya salad be Lao style and they didn't charge me for that. Fast forward to recently 2-3 weeks ago I ordered again and man this time I was pissed! Ordered spring rolls, papaya salad, drunken noodles, and Thai fried rice. I also ordered the papaya salad Lao style again which this time they added a charge to my order for when they didn't the other time. Also whichever idiot packed the papaya salad that is filled with not only a bunch of liquid but a bunch of fermented juices like PADEK and NAM PLA! Did not put it in a bag and just put it in an open container. That genius also put that container on the top of everything and tried to fit all 4 stupid containers in 1 bag so the papaya salad that was on top of everything spilled all inside the bag. Not only that but it leaked everywhere I'm sure in the driver's car as well. It leaked on my front door and all the way until I ran with the bag to my sink. Learn how to pack or stop being cheap and get some decent containers for the stuff that needs special attention! Everything was drenched in PADEK and dripped all over my floor! Good thing it wasn't real Lao style being dark and funky. I hate to give such a low rating because their food is actually pretty good. But man, get it together!

Ok so this post is only about this dish alone and nothing else…read more But wtf is this? I bought this spring roll for $14 that's the size of a burrito but it was filled with what looks like a head of cabbage, carrot, green onion, and maybe 3 butterflied shrimp. Now, spring rolls aren't meant to be this big. In the photo, you can see both of our dishes with cabbage on it.. that's from the other half and some from this. I was so blown away cause I've never had a spring so bad.. I've had different but this isn't close to what a spring roll is and looks more like they're just ripping people off with this dish.

There was a man , who I thought was the cook all the way in the back of the long kitchen. He saw me come in. I waited few minutes and no one came up to greet or seat me. Then I realized there is a digital screen at the counter next to me, started to realize I have to order food through the screen (again no one came to answer any questions on their own) i finally flagged the guy in the back to ask a question. A few other people came in and went straight to another digital screen around the corner of the counter. I had seen other yelp posts of a lunch menu, I asked the guy that finally came and he said they don't have lunch specials. So they must have got rid of those on the menu a while back. I place my order on the digital screen. No wear did I see carry out or eat-in. I sat on a bench at the front waiting for my food. There was 2 other customers also waiting at this point for food to go. There is only a couple tables inside to sit. Everything is self service - I saw water cups , chopsticks, utensils all just sitting on each table. I ordered a chicken curry dish , the curry was tasty and had a good variety of vegetables but there was some herb in their like small strips that I had to keep picking out because I didn't like the texture. I gave 3 stars because of lack of acknowledgement when coming in , no clear instructions that I had to order on the digital screen. No service for a place that I thought was a sit down restaurant. I suggest this place for to go only orders
