I can't believe that I haven't written a review for Yunnan Restaurant when it is one of the two…read moreChinese restaurants in the area that are my Taiwanese-parent-approved! Since its opening, Yunnan Restaurant has become a staple in our rotation for good reason. The pro-tip that I almost want to gatekeep is to go for lunch because that's the only way to guarantee that all of the best cold dishes are still in stock. My family's go-to is the vinegar potato strings, bamboo shoots, and sliced mushrooms, but we've recently also gotten into getting a side order of the peanuts with anchovies. The peanuts have a great sweet and salty roasted flavor and would pair perfectly with some rice. I could honestly be happy just ordered a big plate of the vegetarian cold dishes with rice, but it would be criminal to not order some of the noodles. The Sichuan style cold noodle is my absolute favorite item on the menu. It is vinegary, spicy, a little bit sweet, and super refreshing! The noodle texture is nice and bouncy, and the sliced carrots and scallions and blanched bean curds add a great crunchy texture. Despite being meatless, this noodle dish is absolutely satisfying and delicious! Most of the praises I sing are about this cold noodle dish, but their other items are also quite yummy. I enjoy the braised garlic seafood tofu dish, which pairs well with rice, and there are whole cloves of garlic that were braised with the seafood to be subtlety sweet and not at all pungent. Yunnan Restaurant really lives up to the hype!

Top notch authentic southern Chinese food…read more The yunnan rice noodle was beyond delicious, kind of like a Chinese pho with silky Chinese noodle This is definitely one of the best Chinese restaurant in the area I use to goto the original Monterey Park location back in college, and now Being able to get it here is definitely a win! Servers are extremely friendly and the dinning area is clean and spacious Also the cold Togo items at the front are super authentic and delicious as well, perfect pairing with some cold beer Must try gem in the area 10 outta 10

Bangkok Avenue - Thousand Oaks (Food) | (Service)…read more I visited Bangkok Avenue for the first time today. For years I enjoyed Spicy Squid Salad at another Thai spot, but they stopped serving it, so I was excited to try it here. The salad was beautifully presented on lettuce with a spicy lime dressing and packed with fresh herbs like lemongrass and cilantro. The flavors were vibrant and delicious. My only disappointment was that the squid itself was extremely chewy and tough to eat. I'm used to this dish being served with rice, but that's on me--I should have asked. The restaurant itself is inviting, cute, and cozy, with a warm atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and hospitable, which made the experience even better. Overall, I'd rate the salad a 3, but the service a solid 4. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the Eggplant Curry next time!

This Tonkotsu ramen is possibly the worst I have ever tasted. The pork broth lacked depth and character and aside from the Ajitsuke, the noodles, a few green onions, and a single dried seaweed leaf (nori) that was the dish. I was surprised that even the ramen was cooked incorrectly. Fortunately, the Thai Ice tea was enjoyable, as my taste buds became irritated from the excessive salt. I gave the experience a two star only because the service was nice. I had en emergency with my iPhone and I was allowed to charge it, so as far as customer service that was good. The ambiance was quiet with soft music playing, aside from that not much to add.

The broth is rich and flavorful--you can tell it's been simmering for hours. Their menu is extensive, and the bahn-mi the best I've had. The French baguette is always fresh and crispy, whether it's baked in-house or sourced from a great local bakery. The barbecue pork is also well-marinated and packed with flavor. Sometimes I'll dine in for pho and other times I'll just grab a sandwich and spring rolls. Either way, it never disappoints. Easily the best pho spot in Ventura County by far. I prefer to eat the pho there in person, but the sandwiches and hot plates deliver well. You can order on postmates.

The pho broth is good and tasty but they put less meat in their bowls than other pho places. Spring rolls were lacking a lot of the typical herbs and flavorless. Service was poor. Spring rolls usually include mint and garlic chives. The ones here only came with lettuce and were thus super bland. We also ordered this right when we sat down yet they never came. I had to ask twice about the spring rolls. The rolls came at the very END of the meal after we were super full from eating pho, I was tempted to send them back but my partner still wanted them. It was disappointing though. When we were ready to pay, they said go up front to pay. Whereas earlier they were bringing the bill to the tables. We went up front. There was a long line of people all waiting to pay. I felt disappointed again. I don't know if I'll be back. I'm going to give the other pho places a try before I decide. If I do come back, it's pho only and not expect much from service.

I like the house special braised pork belly which is a caramelized and salty meat in a pot. Delicious with copious amounts of white rice. Some of my favorite items to get at this place are: -Stir fried intestines - these are cooked with spices and numbing pepper. The intestines taste like they were deep fried and have a crunch to them. -Mushroom medley - 3 different types of mushrooms in a brown sauce and some type of white meat. -Beef rolls - sliced beef inside a flaky savory pancake with hoisin sauce and cilantro This is a great spot for Hunan-style dishes that have the complex smoky, spicy, and numbing spice flavors. I'd go for those dishes over more traditional fried rice, beef and broccoli type Chinese food.

Broccoli Shrimp ($19): The broccoli was perfectly steamed, but the shrimp were a letdown Instead of the expected jumbo/large size, they were small (51-60 count) and lacked flavor Also, the peas and carrots felt out of place in this dish Spring Rolls: Crispy and worth the price! (Note: They were served with ketchup?, so have your own chili crisp ready) Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables (The Star!): Absolutely delicious Perfectly textured pork with just the right amount of fat-not too heavy or falling apart Even with the overcooked vegetables, this is a "must-order" again The Verdict: Good flavors on the traditional dishes; just wish the shrimp size matched the price point!
