    Hot Basil & fried rice
    Andrew S.

    Got a to-go order at this restaurant last night, went to pick up order, the restaurant ambience looked good. Our order was Drunken noodles, Hot Basil and fried rice ( paid extra) and appetizer Fried Calamari. The good first, the drunken noodles were awesome. Very tasty, right spice, right portions and super good. The Calamari was good but it's a lot less for $9, the portions were super small. The Hot Basil was tasty but the meat vegetable ratio was very bad and the bad part the extra fried was so teeny. It was packed in a styrofoam container which was melted and bent out of form because of the heat. We were here for a soccer showcase, this is not going to feed a hungry soccer teen. Very poor portions for the price. What is there in providing a little extra portion of fried rice when charging extra. SMH! One hungry person will need 2 Entree's at this place.

    Doesn't look much on the outside but let me tell you. This place is a little gold mine here in Goldsboro. Has a cool bar area and it's a cool little spot. The Satay is a great street food and the peanut sauce was so good! The chicken was high quality! The Tom sum or papaya salad is very refreshing change with it being a hot summers day. I like spice and I asked for a 3 out of 1-5 spice level. It was really good! I would even say authentic. If I was living in Goldsboro this is my Go-To!!! The pricing is pretty steep for the portion size that is my only thing that I have as a negative with this spot!

    Beef Pho

    Being Asian and coming from Hawaii with diverse food restaurants, this place is a little far from authentic. However, it's not bad at all. I understand the history of this place, but I doubt it's cuisine is still made in the same manner. Their pho is ok. Not the best, but it's not the worst either. Their egg roll or their summer roll (both fresh and fried), are subpar. The pineapple fried rice was decent, the pad thai was delicious, and their fried tilapia was bomb. Their boba tea is lacking though so I'd pass on that. This place is as close as I can get to Thai food (or even a little other Asian cuisine), so I'll keep coming back, but don't get your hopes up if you're wanting authentic thai dishes. Customer service is great. I think the older gentleman is the owner, regardless of who he is, he's really nice.

    Yum salad

    We randomly picked this from the 2 Thai restaurants in Goldsboro, NC. I'm so glad we did! Social distancing possible, wait staff masked, hand sanitizer on each table, clean well equipped restrooms. Safety first. Door Dash and take out were popular options. Check. Now for the food! Five stars all the way! We met Larry, he and credits his wife and her sisters as the masterminds behind this authentic Thai restaurant. Much of it cited as family favorites straight from the sisters' mother. It has an extensive menu, at reasonable prices, full of choices, some very healthy. We had chicken wraps, and these were different from what we usually have. Nice addition of veggies. I had the Yum Nua salad, which I loved. Great combination of steak, veggies, spices, and zip. Hubby had the Khao Soi Kapow! Also very good with huge amounts of tender white meat chicken. I will not wait until my next birthday to eat here again!

    Definitely coming back. Khao Sen has been added to my local Top 10. Very open, bright, and inviting…read moreenviornment. They offer table and booth options with available seating at the bar as well. The "front of the house" are, from what i can tell, an all woman brigade, ranging in ages, and they are all so awsome!! They all bring their own spirited personality. Khao Sen can get busy at times, and these amazing women "get to it". I've seen impatient customers get annoyed after 5 mins of waiting and it's super unfair to this amazing staff. The menu has selective, authentic flavors of Thailand, and every option will have you coming for more. For appetizers we've snacked on the vegetable gyoza (GYO PAK), crispy crab sticks served with sweet chilli sauce (so delicious), Tofu Tod, which i have to emphasize this part. In over 10 years, i've not once taken a second bite when it comes to tofu. Khao Sen has their tofu lighlty battered and fried so deliciously, with their sweet chilli and ground peanuts sauce to dip in. I not only had a second bite but i ate the entire appetizer. Even my vegan friend raves about the Tofu Tod. Ok ok, moving on......ohhh it really is good though, haha. Ok, next we've lip smacked on their steamed dumplings, stuffed with ground pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, onion, scallion, and cilantro, served with a sweet soy sauce (KANOM JEEP).....yes!!!!!. Lets talk chicken wings. Seriously, dang!! Their spicy Thai-style fried chicken wings served with sweet chili sauce (KAI ZAAP) are noise makers. Take a bite and tell me you didn't go "mmMMmm". Making our way on down the list is the tender baby back ribs coated with their southern Thai-style curry paste (SI - KRONG PAD PRIK). These are topped with saffron and very much another delicious option. That's it, we left some still on the menu for next time. Entrees!! I'm between favorites at the moment. The spicy tom yum soup with egg noodles, pork and shrimp dumplings, shrimp, ground pork, fish roll, fish ball, bok choy, cilantro, scallion, crispy wontons, ground peanuts, and fried garlic oil (BA MII TOM YUM) and the northern Thai-style curry, crispy skin chicken thigh, egg noodles, crispy egg noodle, cilantro, scallion, picked radish, shallots, and lime (KHAO SOI). Both are different in flavors but equally devine in their own respects. Now direct your attention to Khao Sen's roasted duck and gravy over rice with steamed Chinese broccoli, pickled ginger, cilantro, and scallion; served with a side of sweet dipping sauce (KHAO NA PED), another eye rolling meal!! You have the option of choosing a rice, white, fried, or berry (purple rice)...... i suggest the berry. The beef broth, thin rice noodles, sliced NY strip, stewed beef, beef tendon, beef ball, cilantro, scallion, and Chinese broccoli will have you talking while eating. My cousin couldn't stop raving about the flavor while eating. All this food talk has me thirsty. I can't get enough of the Lychee Tea which is green tea, lychee, and lychee jelly. My drink magically disappears the first 2 times, everytime, the waitress sets the glass down.....poof just disappears. So, i'm forced to order another . Their peach bellini and lychee saki mojito are aMAAAAZziiing. Delightful and refreshing. Seems to really be a common theme here. Everything is flavorful and refreshingly delicious from the food to the drinks. Khao Sen offers beer, wine, ciders, sake. For non-alchoholic drinks there's fountain drinks, coffe and teas, fruit teas, milk teas, fizzy drinks, milks, annnnnd water. Parking can be limited during rush hours. There is a parking garage currently being constructed, but for now there is a parking lot and street parking. Come one Come ALL!

    Clean venue, good flavor (3.5 / 5 star)…read more Venue: bright and modern decor. Small-to medium sized venue on the ground floor of apartment building. (live, play) type of building. Food: small menu which I do not have any problem with. When I go to Thai/lao restaurants, I always order papaya salad - which will tell me everything and what kind of food I can expect. Very simple taste- that doesn't mean bland. It captures sweet, savory and tang. Ordered green curry. Good flavor but almost bland - it can improve on the ingredients. Khao soi noodles again, taste good but missing something - All the dishes tried seems it was missing fish sauce flavor and more, which all dishes didn't seem to reflect traditional deep flavors. The chicken wings were pretty good. Wish the skin was crunchy and had a better batter. The hat yai dry rub was good, salty and sour but kind of reminded me more like tajin. My son really loved it. Service: yin and yang. One older lady who served our table was nice and attentive. The other supporting female staff there was unfriendly, almost seemed mad at the world. Slow service. Price: I don't know why NC charges so much for Asian food in general. I can't say it's outrageously expensive or reasonable price for the genre of this food. All in all, not a bad tasting food. It captured good flavor and has potential. I felt that the dishes are made afraid to show the real flavor traditional Thai flavor. May be good for entry -level food exploring.

    I am starting to think that I have a problem. I had a boba tea for the first time a few days ago…read moreand now I am hooked. I was in Wilmington when I tried out my first and wanted to find a closer location which brought me to Tiki Turtle's Ice Creams and Mocktails. Right away I was greeted by the staff and they walked me through ALL the different types to choose from. You could do coffee, milk based, and even lemonade (and this may not be news to anyone but it was to me!) I told her I had tried a fruity one and wanted to branch out a little and she suggested if I like coffee to try one of those bad boys. I got a vanilla coffee with honey bursting balls and it was VERY good. Once I ordered and was waiting, I looked around the place and before I knew it, she was handing me my drink! The location is hidden back in a shopping complex, but is not too hard to find and overall this was a great experience. I 100% will be returning and trying more Boba (I am thinking a Lemonade next time).

    On the way back from Topsail Beach stumbled across this boba/ice cream shop in shopping center…read more Also locally owned and this is where I tried poppers for first time with lemonade instead of milk tea and wow was it sweet.
