    Awesome and delicious
    Manuel P.

    Love the friendly service and the spicy food . Started bringing my teenagers and they also love the spicy delicious food. Today was special as I finally ordered the Beef noodle soup. Beef had real flavor, the soup base was rich and the noodles on point. I wish I could comment more but the smell of the food is so distracting. I also bought some cookies and a jar of chile oil to take home.

    Ordered takeout through the phone. By the time I got there, everything was prompt and correct. I ordered pad sew ew, Tom yum soup and green Thai tea. If you come here, you HAVE to get to tom yum soup! The flavoring is insane and incredible! The pad sew ew was good but a bit oily. Overall everything was great!

    Thai food is more on the sweeter side compared to Cantonese food. I prefer Chinese chow fun to Thai pad see ew. Good to have a change once in a while. Fried chicken wings with sauce on the side was fine. Enjoyed the tom yum soup. Would come again if I wanted Thai food

    Probably the best Tom Yum soup I've ever had. They will ask you the spice level so be prepared. The shrimp were juicy and cooked perfectly. They didn't skim you there or give you baby shrimp. The flavor of lemongrass is so prominent and gives it the perfect touch... along with the spices. I was so impressed how they were able to make this so flavor packed and I loved how many mushrooms were in it. I didn't have time for a bowl which I got one to-go back home. Will be sure to return. Oh, and their veggie fried spring rolls are amazing! Super good. I enjoyed the friendly and welcoming service and the quality flavors and ingredients in the soup. I can't even tell you how bomb this was. Whenever I'm in the area I will be sure to return.

    The food was delicious and so savory! The service was exceptional, our cashier and server was so kind and helpful with our order.

    Food is excellent, servings are generous and price definitely reasonable. Golden chicken fried rice was as described by other Yelpers. Came with lots of rice, enough extra to bring home. A bit disappointed because (from photos) I was hoping for Filipino style fried chicken. But this is a breaded fillet - more American not Asian. But breading was very light and crispy, chicken was juicy, so can't complain The pad thai is the best pad thai in Monterey County! Just perfect sauce. I missed the bean sprouts on the side (like our favorite TK Noodles pad thai(, but the it taste good and serving was generous. One big plus, we were able to dine in. (Only about 4 tables there, so not always an option) - and they serve you like a nice restaurant does! Ceramic dishes, real silver (not one use plastic- Yay!) and filtered water to drink. With the good food, good service, generous portions and price is right - definitely recommend Khao San!

    This place is a hidden gem. The food is hot and so fresh. They pay attention to spice tolerance. I'm a fan of their Praram, yum!!!

One of the…read morethings I enjoy most is trying a different dish whenever I come in, and over the years I've definitely found a few favorites. The green curry is one of my go-to dishes--rich, flavorful, and always satisfying. The eggplant sautéed with chili oil is another favorite and has such a great combination of flavor and spice. This time I tried the shrimp Pad Thai, and it did not disappoint. The noodles were flavorful, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and everything tasted fresh.

Starting with the Pad Thai, we ordered it with beef and it was easily the star of the meal. Perfectly cooked soft noodles with a savory, slightly sweet sauce that was incredibly well balanced. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the addition of diced nuts added a great crunch and texture that tied everything together beautifully. The Panang Curry was also excellent. Rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It came with chicken, green beans, and bell peppers, all of which tasted fresh and perfectly cooked with a nice bite. The curry sauce was smooth and comforting, soaking into the dish incredibly well. A must-order for curry lovers. Lastly, the Nam Sai reminded us a lot of pho. On its own, it was a bit light and lacked salt, but once we added our own seasonings, it really came alive. After adjusting it to taste, it was delicious, comforting, and perfect for warming up. Service was fast and efficient, and the restaurant was clean and well kept. The ambiance was beautiful. A very nice, welcoming spot to enjoy a meal.

From the moment I walked in, the service began with a bad start. The staff were chatting and joking behind the counter and too distracted to notice me. I had to grab a menu myself and ask in a loud tone if I could sit anywhere just to get their attention. Once seated, it took nearly 10 minutes for a server to come by. I ordered a boba drink and pho with brisket. The server returned after another 8 minutes to say they were out of both the boba flavor I wanted and the brisket. After I reordered, the replacement boba arrived extremely sweet -- basically tasted like watered-down sugar syrup with almost no tea flavor. The pho was even more disappointing.. the broth was watery and bland, there was very little beef, and the bowl was light on noodles and toppings. It felt like a shadow of what they used to serve. It's sad to see a spot that was once one of the best pho places in Salinas (in my opinion) decline this sharply. The restaurant was unusually empty, and the few other customers looked just as unimpressed. I understand rising food and restaurant operating costs, but cutting quality this much will only drive more people away. I rarely leave negative reviews and I don't consider myself to be such a picky eater, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. I'm not sure I'll be back.

Every time I'm out of town, I find myself craving their food and looking forward to my next visit. The restaurant has a clean, quiet, and relaxing atmosphere, and the staff is always warm, welcoming, and attentive. It's also located near the ocean, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is their incredible fresh rolls with peanut dipping sauce. They are the best I've ever had! Another local restaurant I enjoy only serves fresh rolls on certain days or is frequently sold out, but Lemongrass always seems to have them available, which is a huge plus. The menu offers something for everyone, including an excellent selection of vegetarian dishes. Some of my personal favorites are their Mango Salad with a delicious dressing, Pumpkin Curry, Yellow Curry, and Cashew Vegetable.
