Pac Thai and panang curry
Karen T.

I've been trying Asian food looking for the flavors we got back in Hawaii. This place is a little different yet very good! Seafood pad Thai was nice and limey, chicken larb too. The meat in the Panang curry was so soft, fried chickens were pretty good. We'll be back for sure.

Lychee richie

Nice relaxed ambiance. Perfect for summer to enjoy some outdoor seating. Great service. Lovely drinks. Wonderful food. They also have a fantastic happy hour!!

thai green tea latte
Samuel H.

Standout: Service was excellent during our visit with very attentive workers. I really appreciate the diversity of their menu, as they have highlight dishes from different Asian cultures. My basil fried rice was tasty. Do note that I expected it to be saltier/more flavorful. You can ask them for hot sauce and chili sauce though. Chicken wings were crispy and has fish sauce on the side for dipping. Thai green tea latte was creamy and so good. Chill, cozy vibes inside with "World Market-esque" trinkets. There are also festive decorations everywhere when we visited in December :D

Just bought this entree salt and pepper squid for $16 dollars . Extremely overpriced for the portion they give you. Plus half of food is onion. Idk how this could ever be considered an entree

The food, when you get it is wonderful! The service however is lacking! I was dining in for the third time because the last were wonderful and the staff on those days professional and nice. I was seated by the waitress, a young girl in a baseball cap that had her phone on. Total ambience gone. I placed my order of the Panang stew and waited. And waited, while watching my favorite new restaurant became busy with uber eats, and other wonderful drivers waiting. I asked the baseball waitress if my dinner was coming out and I was informed that takeout is a priority for this restaurant. I ordered a white wine and an additional lettuce wrap dish to go. 15 minutes later, three parties sent away in the waiting area. Four delivery people sitting at the entrance, no room for patrons. Great food, less than acceptable service that night. If you see servers that treat you less than, leave!

This place is legit! Can always count to delicious food with a great plating presentation. And it's in a great location that exudes class.

Calamari with sweet chili sauce and Rockfish salad wraps (special, not on regular menu).
Brian H.

Great servers, high quality food, good portion sizes and all day happy hour on Sundays! Enjoyed dinner with a friend on Sunday. High quality calamari starter with nice batter and not overdone squid like some places. Chicken teriyaki was tender and good sized portion. Rockfish lettuce wraps had plenty of tasty fish portions over a nice bed of peanuts and diced veggies. Drinks were tasty and didn't skip on alcohol portion. Dinners were served only moments apart (unlike some places) and about our only suggestion would be better temperature control in dining area it was a bit cold. Pleasant decor for a neighborhood restaurant and nice touches like a blue fish shaped plate for the seafood dinner, and an excellent first time visit and will be back again!

Green Curry in a cheerful little pot
Penny S.

We tried this little bistro for the first time and were impressed with the simple but elegant ambiance as soon as we walked in. The staff came across as warm and friendly and glad we were there. We enjoyed Tom Kha soup with tofu to start, which had a delicious depth of flavor. Next came the entrees: Green Curry with beef and Pad Lee Mao with Chicken. The latter was recommended by our server, who patiently waited as my husband scanned the menu and finally asked for her suggestion. Green curry is one of my favorite Thai curries, but I wasn't that impressed with this one, which is why I can't award 5 stars to an otherwise flavorful meal. Their green curry's sauce lacked flavor and salt. I had to ask for a salt shaker (I could've gotten soy sauce but didn't want it to overpower). The beef seemed to be just thrown in the pot and boiled, rather than sautéed first to achieve a nice sear. It was gray in color. The Pad Lee Mao, on the on the other hand was full of flavor and fresh veggies. I particularly liked the green beans, cooked to perfection. The noodles were wide, which I liked as well. We will come back again to order more things but I think we will avoid the curries. It's a pan-Asian place so maybe they just aren't as good at curry? Try this place for yourself at this Felida eatery.

Hometown USA Another Awesome Asian restaurant. Been in some kind of mood for it lately. This place is my new favorite. Our server Juliann was incredible. So friendly and talented in mixology. Had a few of the drinks and they were great. Drunken noodle with tofu and won ton soup. I order won ton soup like I order CFS for breakfast. It is how I measure authenticity. Off the chart good. I've had lots of won ton, especially in Seattle, and hands down this is better. Not going to say anything but this is my new fav. Look over the secret menu they give you

Just pick the food that ISN'T your generic panda express order and you'll be in heaven!! The service is always good except for recently. Seems they're training new hires and so things are a little slower than usual but that's ok! I hope our amazing usual host, Lee can catch a break! She's been the best server every time I go there. Just friendly and remembers your names! Ambiance can be anywhere from perfectly quiet to crying baby. It's a family kinda place and sometimes there's kids! Today was a bit strange as someone was in a blanket and sat at a table on their phone with headphones on laughing out loud. Looked like someone who worked there son? Hope that situation is all good! They seemed on the spectrum so I understand if a mother or father had to bring them to work. Love this place! 10/10 food, very friendly servers and seriously, I have been to so many Asian eateries and this place is THE ONE you have to try!

A lot of restaurants claim that they serve Szechuan food, but it's just regular Chinese food... This spot has both, and the Szechuan part is pretty good! We accidentally ordered 2 fried dishes by mistake, but they were both pretty delicious! We got the dried fish filet and spicy chicken/popcorn chicken. The fish was so crispy and savory... I didn't try the regular menu, but I will definitely come back to try more of their Szechuan menu soon (there were two separate menus when we came in). The staff was friendly, and the setting was chill! The free tea is always a plus :) If you love mala/szechuan flavours, try it out!

Teenager said the Lo Mein was "huge" (indeed) and we all agreed it was flavorful. The middle school kid said his sweet sour shrimp (ordered with sauce on the side) was "the best I've ever had", and even liked the sauce enough to dip a few which is a whole lot for a kid who isn't a fan of sauces in general. I ordered the sesame beef and while I really liked the sweetness level and the flavor, some of the pieces were hard to chew (not quite beef jerky but still much chewier than I would like). We ended up getting 2 pieces of raspberry cheesecake which the teen and kid swore was some of the best cheesecake they've ever had (sensing a theme starting here). I would highly recommend Golden City and will absolutely be back again next time we are in the mood for delish Chinese fare!

The flavors of the food across the board are so much stronger and complex than literally all other Chinese food restaurants I've ever patronized. Their operating model, though, is confusing. They have a lot of "ready now" entrees pre-made for immediate service (think "Panda Express"), and several others that are made-to-order. The "made to order" seems to be the better choice, as what's in the "ready to go" section may well have been sitting around long enough to get soggy. I know this from firsthand experience when some of my General Tso's chicken was the last of what was premade, and the rest was fresh. Not surprisingly, the fresh portion was hot and crispy (and DELICIOUS), and the portion from the premade batch was soggy and lukewarm. There are two chairs in the interior for patrons, so be prepared to stand while your order is filled. Parking is easy as Mar's is attached to a unique and charming Country store with its own parking lot.
