I was craving some Thai food, so we thought of swinging by Blue Table for a delicious Thai dinner…read more When you walk inside the host stand is positioned at the back of the restaurant. We waited for a little bit for them to clear off a table and were seated quickly. It's a simple layout inside. They have enough seating to nicely fill the space. And a TV hung up that was playing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at the time, which was fun to have on. The service at this restaurant was fantastic! Our server was very attentive, sweet, and made sure to check in on us at different points during our meal. The great thing about the meal is that it's family style! We ordered the yellow curry and the pineapple fried rice. When the meal came out, they handed us separate plates for each of us to serve the portion we wanted. I only experienced a couple of negatives when it came to the food and that was: 1. The yellow curry was so delicious and had a nice coco-nutty flavor, but it felt like a few too many potatoes and not enough chicken. 2. The pineapple fried rice lacked pineapple. I love a few pineapple chunks in my fried rice but this had more of the pineapple flavoring and none of the actual fruit. Now, these aren't as much negatives as they are dish preferences. Everything still tasted solid and we left with our Thai food craving satisfied! Btw, make sure when you visit not to sleep on their dessert. The dessert is the best part! I absolutely love their sweet sticky rice with coconut ice cream. They add peanuts on top of it and it's incredible. Definitely go and check them out!

This was our first visit to Blue Table. I wanted to try the Pad See Ew. It's my standard dish I…read moreorder whenever I go to a Thai restaurant. At my favorite place in Lancaster, I order the combination and it comes with chicken, beef and shrimp for $20. The place I go to in Tehachapi charges $2.50 extra to get shrimp added to it. This place charges $5 for shrimp, so it would've been a $25 meal. So I just ordered the beef, and it was good. I would definitely eat here again. My husband ordered a shrimp dish. It was really good. Customer service was great. He kept my ice tea filled, and I go through a lot of it! We definitely look forward to our next visit. 7/25/26

Thai house holds its own when it comes to Thai food in Bakersfield…read more THE FOOD.. Gyoza were tasty--especially with the side sauce--and the Shrimp Pad Thai really stood out. The shrimp had that perfect snap, and the noodles were tender. The dish was a little too sweet for my taste, but a splash of soy sauce balanced it backbto normal. The Chicken Pad Thai was similar--same quick fix, same great result. STAFF.. Even though it was busy, the staff were friendly and attentive, keeping our drinks filled and service was smooth. Solid food, great people--definitely worth the visit.. Thai House in Bakersfield is my go-to backup spot for Pad Thai when my usual place has a long wait.

When I mentioned it to the staff they politely told me to ask for it to be less sweet next time. That was really cool and all the staff were attentive and polite. The atmosphere is good because the staff makes you feel like family. The prices are fair and the portions are generous. We also ordered the Pad Khee Mow ( Drunken noodles) regular spicy. I asked them to bring me some chili paste to make mine spicier and was brought some right away. The Pad Khee Mow was awesome and fulfilled my craving for at least a week or so. But there was also left overs too. Good food, good service at a good price. If you're craving Thai this spot is a great choice.

Servers were flying around all night but still sweet and attentive. Pad see ew 9/10 - Standard, does the job. Got it with beef and it was exactly what you'd expect. Nothing to complain about, nothing to rave about either. Tom kha 9/10 - Coconut forward and loaded with veggies. This one was delicious. The broth alone you'd want to drink straight from the bowl. Panang beef short rib 9/10 - Got way more short rib than we anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. Awesome dish, the panang was rich and had great depth. Fried chicken 8/10 - Good amount and impressively tender for chicken breast. The tamarind dipping sauce ties it all together nicely. Dumplings in panang 6/10 - Tasted like standard dumplings but served in panang curry which is an interesting combo. Not sure if this is a common Thai thing but it works, just didn't blow us away. Blue Elephant fried rice 9/10 - Well seasoned, savory, and honestly awesome. One of the better fried rices I've had. Would definitely come back, maybe on a quieter night to actually enjoy the space.

She was cheerful, kind and attentive. We shared the Tom Kah soup with chicken, the Pad Thai with pork, and the Cashew chicken. Every dish was delicious and beautifully plated. Their dishes are always fresh and prepared to order. No wonder they are one of Bakersfield's go to restaurants for Thai cuisine. The Blue Elephant has a warm and cozy interior of wood paneling. Soft music in the background. If you haven't tried them I recommend you do so.

When you're downtown on a Monday night, there are not a lot of places open for dinner. We were so…read morehappy to find Jasmine's open until 9:30pm on Monday. They are closed on Sundays...there has to be a trade off. This place has a very authentic feel and smell. I was instantly transported to a small cafe I visited in Asia. It was amazing and is definitely where the 5 stars comes from. Many may see this as a hole in the wall or super basic, but I really see it as authentic and very cheerful. It is on Chester right next door to Jerry's Pizza. We arrived close to 9pm but we were not rushed. They seemed to genuinely want to take care of us and make sure we had a wonderful meal. We really appreciated their attention. We were mindful of the time and did not want to be there too late, but they were happy we were there. There were many other late night diners and several who stopped in to pick up and go. This is a well loved place! We split the Pad Thai dinner and there was plenty for 2. It was very tasty and not overdone on the peanut flavor. it was just right. We also split an order of the crab Rangoon. They had those packed and the sauce was so wonderful. I am dreaming of the next time we can grab some to go or stay and enjoy their sweet place.

I'm concerned this is one of the top rated Asian cuisine restaurants in Bakersfield.... I only came…read morehere because it had good reviews. If you guys think this is great, we need to have a heart to heart. Let's start with the potstickers. I asked the waiter if I should get steamed or fried; he recommended fried. Well, let's just say I've had better potstickers from the grocery store's frozen section than this place... They were incredibly small and flavorless. If this is what is recommended, the steamed version must be inedible. Thankfully the Chicken Pad Thai actually had some flavor, but nothing to recommend to anymore. There is certainly better out there... This alone is definitely not a reason to go back. To make matters worse, it was pretty expensive... $31 for a plate and appetizer? No, just no. My favorite place at home for a huge plate and the same appetizer is $22, and my city is more expensive to live in. Heck, even amazing hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurants in Los Angeles (you know, one of the most expensive places to live) is cheaper than this place. And if this matters to anyone, the restaurant and restrooms are pretty beat up and dingy. It's not a comfortable or welcoming environment. If you're passing through like I was, don't be fooled by the good reviews. Keep driving.

Next time, I'd go up to level 4 spice on a scale of 1-5, since I didn't get the spice level I'd like. The wings were delicious! We'll definitely be back.

Popped into this place last night while finishing up my errands. I was pleasantly surprised to find…read moreout that they are open later than most of the restaurants in the same area. The restaurant is located on California and Stockdale in a nonchalant retail center and kind of tucked in the back. There is plenty of parking and it is safe as there are a ton of lights around. When I walked in the place was a little busy with a few families wrapping up their dinners. They have a few booths, one long community table in the middle of the restaurant and then they have a large booth that can probably accommodate 4 to 5 adult adults. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. And my server was kind enough to explain the level of spiciness for each curry and how they are prepared. There is a sign at the check-in encounter that states they do not use MSG in their restaurant... So I'm sure this is a major plus for people that are sensitive to MSG. I ordered the eggrolls from the appetizer menu, a Thai iced tea with Boba, and the chicken curry, which is a yellow, mild curry, and that came with a side of rice. The Thai iced tea was delicious. Unlike other places, I've had it. It was not too sweet, just sweet enough. The Boba was tender and chewy and was also sweetened so whoever made it knew what they were doing. The eggrolls came out and were served with a side of what I will call cucumber relish. The cucumber relish was delicious and so refreshing. It contained finally sliced cucumber, as well as minced red onion, and some sort of sauce, and a little bit of sweetness. It definitely complimented the egg rolls. The eggrolls are vegetarian egg rolls. They do contain glass noodles. While they were delicious and fresh, I found them to be a little bit bland. The vegetables inside the egg roll could use a little seasoning and they could have been cooked a little bit longer to get the vegetables to steam a little bit longer. While I like my vegetables firm, I definitely don't like them raw, especially inside an egg roll. The chicken curry was also very tasty. And while it is the milder of the curries, it had a little punch. That is OK by me because I like spicy things. The curry broth or sauce was very flavorful and creamy. The chicken was also delicious. It was diced or sliced white meat, it looks like they use chicken breast, and you could tell that it was seasoned and potentially boiled in a seasoned broth. So everything blended together and was flavorful. The chicken curry also had some potato... I personally would like more potato and maybe some carrots. The white rice was also good... It was pretty standard and customary however they could add a little bit more. While looking at the menu, I noticed that they had lunch specials and they were very good deals. I recommend this place either for lunch or for dinner... I am definitely going back to try some of the other dishes. My meal was so good. I ordered pineapple fried rice to go. And of course, I had to taste it when I got home. It was tasty but could use a little more seasoning. Since it's been overnight in my fridge already, I am hoping that the flavors had an opportunity to blend together and I'm looking forward to enjoying it for lunch later today. Enjoy! Ps. I posted a picture of one of my to-go containers... they are great quality and leak proof, which is a major plus when you have to take saucy food home.
