    Vegetable pad Thai
    Angel Y.

    It was my first time trying this place out & I wanted to give it a try. The prices are average. I ordered the vegetable pad Thai but she charged me $13 instead of what it said on the menu for $12. they should update their menu price instead of an unexpected charge. I've had better pad Thai before so I would rate this a 2 out 5. The sauce is wet not really my personal preference. the taste is good and not really spicy which I like. The bean sprouts really saved the dish with a squirt of lemon.

    Ghetto area.  Be careful

    After waiting at Davorn's place for an exorbitant amount of time, I decided to come here for some Thai food. The area is in a not so good part of downtown. Homeless people all over the place asking me for money. The shop is right next to an alley with a dumpster where it seems the homeless people use as their toilet. I can see why the close early. Too many homeless people around... You can only order wither over the phone or knocking on the closed door. Their menu is on the table. It's a very ghetto set up. I ordered their combination pad see ew which is an additional $2. Cash only. Food took about 10 min to come out. Which is fine and all, minus all the homeless people walking by, which made me suspicious of their intentions. The amount of protein was not that much. The beef and chicken was somewhat dried out. About 6 peices of shrimp. Flavor seemed a little bit off too. It's slightly sour which is weird. I'm on the fence about whether or not I'll be back. Food was ok. Neighborhood sucks. But it seems as though other people had nice experiences here. So maybe I'll try again in the future, if I can't get into Davorns or any of the other thai places in the neighborhood.

    First, let me start by saying that I love local and family-owned restaurants. This place has been around since 1996, and I am happy to support a place like this. There are 6 tables with minimal staff, and every table was filled when I arrived on a Sunday afternoon. It was wonderful to see! Unfortunately, I don't know whether or not it was just an off day for Lao Kitchen Noodle House, but my experience fell short. My Thai tea was mostly ice and was far from some of the best Thai tea I have had. It wasn't bad; it was just kinda 'meh'. To me, the taste was more reminiscent of grass jelly than Thai tea. For $2, I hoped either for greater volume or better taste. I got neither. The chicken Pad Thai was also kinda bland. You certainly get a lot of noodles in a large order, but there is little to none of all other ingredients. It comes on a couple of leaves of lettuce with sparse bean sprouts, chicken, pieces of egg, cilantro, and onion. It looked great upon first view, but as I started to eat away, I realized I was basically eating noodles. I didn't take a close-up picture of it, but there was also a hair on one of my lemon slices. I definitely needed to squeeze some lemon juice for flavour, too. Thai and Lao food are known for being spicy, so I was pretty sad about this mild dish. I may have to come back to try some pho or something because I hate giving lowly-rated reviews. If you plan to visit, there is street parking available and a parking lot across the street. Sure, there are some homeless people in the area, but I haven't seen them bother anyone. And although this place is cash only, it's very affordable and proffers large portions. Support local!

    Food tasted really bad for some reason and the meat tasted like it was old. Caller was rude on call but nice up front. Miss the old noodle house :(

    Combo pho
    April G.

    Good food. Ordered the combo pho & combo pad Thai. The combo pho is probably my fave broth 'tis far. It's very flavorful & tasty. The pad Thai was great too. It came with marinated beef and shrimp. The beef had a great flavor. The only downside is that they use thin noodles, and it's a lot thinner than the normal ones from other places. The egg rolls are ok. Not enough meat, if any in it. It's precooked and wrapped. They also have chicken and rice for 1.50. The Thai tea is a great price, 32 oz for $2, I'll take it! They only take cash only, and there's limited parking. Id advice you go visit during daylight as it is scary at night. So with the large combo pho, combo pad Thai, eggrolls, and Thai tea; I only spent $17 & had extra food left over. The customer service is great, but you have to seat yourself, once a table becomes available. Not good for huge groups. Overall, would come again!

    I'm sorry but this is not it, the pho had a bad smell and distinct after taste. The broth looked milky and not the good broth flavor.

    This is hands down the best Vietnamese sandwich I've had in the Central Valley. From the very first…read morebite, I couldn't stop eating it. As you can probably tell from the photo, I didn't even make it home, as you can see, I had to dive in the moment I got back to my car. It was that good. The staff is always so welcoming, the service is fast and efficient, and the entire vibe of the place is cute, warm, and inviting. I'm already counting down until my next visit and I genuinely cannot wait to come back!

    Good Pho, even better Banh Mí sandwiches, best when paired together! I love the child's size rare…read moresteak phó with all the fixings with a banh mí sandwich with everything, as described. I'll usually take half the sandwich home. Can't go wrong with any style. I didn't think I'd like the traditional banh mí with pâté but was pleasantly surprised! It was good! I wish the available sauces on the table were cleaned daily, they can be sticky with dried up sauce on the caps or the fish sauce spout clogged. Although, that one complaint, the food is consistent and delicious ... although, I have had more flavorful broth elsewhere, I still enjoy this restaurant. The Banh Mí sandwich bread is so light, crispy, and soaks up that broth beautifully! Service is quick. Restaurant is small with plenty of seating. They've got to work on cleanliness though & change cleaning rags daily, if not more often. Smelly rags & tables, & noticing servers not wash hands between cleaning and serving isn't good business. I hope this will get better. Maybe that day was a one off ... but I'm not so sure.
