The chicken/mashed potato curry puffs were delicious. The drunken noodles were very good but I think my wife liked my Pad Thai more as she kept digging in my dish. Will definitely come here again when I'm Craving Thai. Wait staff very friendly and courteous.

When I was a float teller for the bank, I was right down the road and had plenty of opportunities to indulge myself in my chicken pho soup and try many flavors of Boba.

There's always people eating in the restaurant no matter what time of day you go in.

My Pho was super delish loaded with large shrimp, wontons and rice noodles. I always enjoy adding all the bean sprouts and herbs, jalapeño and lime to the soup. The broth was just perfect, not too salty by very tasty. The large size was definitely enough for two and David enjoyed sharing with me. We love this adorable restaurant with its friendly help and welcoming feeling!

I was shocked and disappointed. I had been looking forward to a good Thai meal and I had braged to my friends about the quality of the food and they looked forward to the outing. The Egg Noodle with calamari was without flavor and the calamari was rubbery! The spicy eggplant was similarly without any real flavor. The Pad Thai again had no taste to the dish. The fried dumplings were nice and tasty. Unfortunately we are now back on the hunt for a good Thai food place in South West Florida.

The pad Thai here is the best I've ever had!! Something about the tangy tamarind sauce with the crunchy bits of peanut & scrambled egg really make you want to go in for another bite! We also tried the Shrimp Hot Pot- this was MY FAVORITE dish I've had from here so far... The glass noodles were coated in a oyster and soy sauce mix over a bed of fresh vegetables. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, but the sauce with the glass noodles really paired very well ! This is my FAVORITE Thai place !!

I got dressed up and walked over there. My table was ready on time; it was in the lounge area of the restaurant. They offered me the table or said I could sit at the bar. I opted to sit at the bar. The bar was almost full but people were leaving. Apparently people eat early there. The bartender was swamped but smiled and got me a glass of water. Soon I had menus. I like that they have a regular menu as well as a specials menu, including the usual cocktails and some special cocktails. I ordered the conquest, which seemed like a twist on an old fashioned. They offered bread or focaccia bread, I declined. And heads up- bread service is not included. It's an up charge. Normally I don't care but I was having dessert, not bread. I had the halibut special. It was phenomenal. One of the guys from the kitchen dropped it off and asked if I needed anything'- I replied salt. I find that I need salt often at restaurants. They brought the salt out real fast! I had a bite and determined it didn't need any more salt- it was perfectly salted! Woohoo! Fantastic. I ate my whole dish and then I savored my cocktail. The bartender wasn't much for conversation , as she was very busy, alone, covering the entire bar and drinks for the whole restaurant. She did invite me to try dessert, and mentioned a coconut cream cake that was not on the menu. I agreed to it and it was heavenly. Seemed like cheesecake icing with fluffy layers of cake and subtle coconut flakes throughout. The chocolate ice cream was weird at first but then I realized it's like almond joy/ mounds - coconut and chocolate are often paired. The espresso crumble gave it a nice crunch and there was caramel all over the plate. Wow! I took the majority of the cake home. It was a large portion and indulgent. I paid my tab and finished my drink. I was not rushed. I would go back again. It's a bit pricey. The fish special was $58. The cocktail was $17 and the dessert was $16. So one person, who did not add on the bread service, was $91. It's expensive. I would emphasize you can probably get a seat at the bar if you can't get a reservation. Also- the entrance is hard to find. It's in the parking lot and not facing the main road. I got a little lost walking there. The signage is poor. I can't imagine going there the first time in the dark. So give yourself a couple extra minutes if it's your first time going there.

China One is by-and-large better than other take-outs we've tried. Upon tasting his orange chicken T said, "this is the best order yet." Perhaps so. I went with shrimp and Chinese vegetables. I'm not sure what the predominant vegetable is -- doesn't look like bok choy or Napa cabbage -- but it was good. Mild. Perhaps onions. I would've liked some mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, baby corn ... but this is North Fort Myers. Not likely popular items. China One's soup is pretty good. (Wish they'd upgrade their crispy noodles.) Our usual is hot & sour and egg drop wonton. I've learned to tell them to tone down the spice on the hot & sour. It's still adequately spicy, but not overly peppery. Service is perfunctory. Neither friendly nor impolite. They get the order right and it's ready quickly, which is what's important to me.
