    16.Green Curry with beef
    Tammy W.

    Tried their green curry and pad thai for takeout today and it was pretty underwhelming. The rice container is very small, and the green curry came with way too much bamboo--plus the beef didn't really have any flavor. The curry itself tasted flat with no depth. They told me that this one scope. Pad Thai was on the drier side (which I don't mind), and the chicken portion was decent, but the overall seasoning was weak. It's the kind of meal you finish and immediately forget what it tasted like. I visited when they first opened and it was much better back then, so this was disappointing. The shop was almost empty when I went in, and honestly, I probably wouldn't come back unless things improve. This dinner cost $35 , the price is pretty good

    Hot Oolong Tea (Unsweetened)

    The service was quick and everyone was friendly. The ambiance was quiet even while they played good music. We order the green curry and it came along with white rice. In addition, we ordered the combination fried rice and garlic pork ribs. All the food was very flavorful, delicious and the tea compliments it very well. Loved how they serve the tea. Did not take pictures of the food because I was hungry and started eating right away. Then I realized I should have taken a picture of the food.

    Inside was clean and their customer service was great but sadly I didn't enjoy the food. The Groovy Fried Rice came with hot dogs and cold chicken nuggets (tasted frozen). I didn't care for their Pad Thai. It lacked flavor and was pretty dry. We also asked for a side of white rice and I could tell it was old. The only dishes that were okay were the Yellow Curry and Mango Sticky Rice.

    Was in the area and was wanting Thai Food. This came up and seemed decent reviews. I'll always judge a Thai place based on the papaya salad. Got a med which was more no spice at all. Ordered spicy noodles and chicken basil. Wasn't impressed with all. Let alone asked for lime or lemon for our waters and they said they had none... uh how did you make your papaya salad? It was also completely dead in there. Some may say it's good but I've actually had home made Thai and Lao food so I wasn't even impressed with this. And when your bowl of rice is a joke

    First time here, the taste is so good especially hot wings and sticky rice. My daughter really loves it. They also have mango sweet sticky rice. Definitely come back!

    4. Spicy Basil Lunch Special
    Danielle P.

    Met a friend here for lunch today. It's tucked away in this little shopping center and the parking lot was actually surprisingly busy. It was just my friend and I inside for most of our meal. The server was sweet and attentive. She answered some of our questions about the menu and promptly served our Thai Iced Teas, which were served in cute little mason jar mugs, and was delicious! Their lunch specials are a good bargain. For $13.95 you get an entree, rice (unless it's pad Thai), a salad, and an egg roll. Decent sized portions. My friend got the yellow curry lunch with chicken and said it was good but she probably wouldn't get it again. I tried the spicy basil with chicken and it was good as well. The place is cute and they have a good amount of seating inside. There are other places I'd probably hit up first in the future, but it's a nice place to have nearby if you have a craving for Thai.

    Been here like 5 times in the last month excellent food and service the owners are awesome ! I found my new thai spot

    I was in the area looking for Thai food for my sister who is pregnant and wanted Thai food so I check the place out . First time here and the service was nice place was clean decor was simple. But I was disappointed in the noodles I bought because the flavor was lacking for me . I had better and it wasn't even spicy at all just giving my honest opinion that's all

    Came here after a convention at the Toyota Arena. Wanted to get Thai but something not close to all the commotion. This place had good reviews so we checked it out. It was alright. Walking in we could tell we were the first customers of the day, because the restaurant was hot so I imagine they hadn't turned on their AC until we as customers showed up. Which is understandable. Once it cooled down we were able to relax a little bit make. The place is nice well kept and clean so that adds to the comfort. Few more people did show up after us, but for the most part we took our time since we weren't in a rush so most of them left before we did. We've gone to so many Thai food places all around California and other states. So we have a grasp as to what to expect when it comes to the food. As to why I can't really remember in detail what stood out. Goes to show that the food was alright and prices were your typical prices so no surprise there. Service was good and attentive. So no complaints there. Basically the experience and especially the food was alright. Not bad, just satisfying for the moment.

    13. Beef Salad, 22. Pad Thai, 23. Pad See Ew 38. South Sea Fried Rice
    June K.

    Surprisingly GOOD! Total came out to $68 (not cheap), but worth it. The only suggestions I would like to make are to make the beef salad is too salty and too little greens and be generous with the proteins. I will order foods from here again.

    Are you groovy?

    Place is hidden between Waba and royal nails. Glad we stopped by! The food was great and so was the service. Lunch specials are a decent portion! P.S. Chicken Satay is a must

    Walk in on a late afternoon and super cute spot with just another party finishing up. Greeted by a very nice and welcoming lady. Ordered Thai coffee, Pad Kee Mao, and Pad Thai Pad Kee Mao, I messed up... I asked them if they do Thai spice range to which owner happily said yes, then instead of saying I'll take little spice I saw the low spice range as 'mild' on the menu and said that. When it came out with just white pepper I knew I fcked up lol... Maybe I should use a number scale to be more clear lol. They do ground chicken which is authentic, but it was a little rubbery which was slightly strange. Smaller portion, taste was decent, came lukewarm. Pad Thai was as expected, giant portion too. Came piping hot, perfect to slightly steam the raw bean sprouts. Thai coffee was bomb.com Hidden table near the back for the take your kid to work setup. Clean, cute, super nice and welcoming. Food decent. Would come back to support.

    Kind of bummed out about this review. Was really hopeful about here, the menu looked amazing and my coworker recommended it. The service was fine, but I should have known there was a reason it was empty in the middle of the lunch hour. The food was just below average. It was all oddly sweet, even the rice. I don't know if there was a mistake in the kitchen, but everything from the rice to the curry had zero spice and was sweet enough I couldn't eat it. The prices were good but the portions aren't large, which kind of balance out. Honestly, just not impressed. I will not return.

It's still about a 25-minute drive for me, but that's nothing compared to driving all the way to LA just to satisfy a craving. I'll keep it simple: everything on the menu is delicious. Seriously, there's no wrong order here. Whether you're craving noodles, curry, rice dishes, or late-night comfort food, they always deliver. The flavors have stayed consistent throughout the years, and that's probably why I keep coming back. The restaurant itself is spacious and can easily accommodate multiple large groups without feeling cramped. Food comes out fast, service is always great, and the staff keeps things moving even when it gets busy. My only complaint is that I wish they stayed open later -- but that's just me being selfish because this is one of those places you'll crave at random hours. Honestly, this place deserves the same level of recognition as McDonald's. Everyone should know about Sanamluang. If you haven't been here yet, you're seriously missing out.

    I've always heard such good reviews about this place so decided to try it out. We got a lot of food…read morefor just us 2 (our kids barely eat). I'll go from best to worst. The best thing is their tom kha soup, soooo flavorful and filled with lots of chicken and mushrooms, highly recommend. Another great item were their fried chicken wings, very good and crispy and the sauce they give is super tasty. Their pad see ew was also very good, packed with beef and moist. The trout (kinda pricey depending on the seasonal price it was $23) was good as well, the lightness and freshness of their vegetable pickled slaw really cut thru their super crispy oiled fish. The duck was good, but it was super gamey, more than I'd like, the spinach was sautéed nicely tho. The chicken larb was our least favorite, it was way too sweet and just tasted like batter to me, the flavor was just off, we didn't even take home the leftovers. Their Thai coffee was hella sweet, like super sweet, Idk if I would get that again. Their mango sticky rice was $14 and honestly it was just ok, I've had better. Overall the service was quick, the place is clean overall, it does get crowded bc I can see why, the prices are reasonable and there is a lot of options of food. We would come back if we are in the area. Oh and ps just so u know parking is horrible, if u park on a wrong area u will get towed. They warn you multiple times to be careful where u park. It's just not a big enough lot, especially for how popular the place is. So be prepared to fight for a parking spot
