I've never tried Pad Thai before so I'm not sure if it's suppose to be like how it tasted and smelled. The pad thai I ordered was chicken, after recieving it, I smelled it, it smelled so fishy. I've never smelled or tasted chicken that was so fishy. I tried to eat it but the chicken's fishy scent just wouldn't go down my throat. I apologize if I worded anything wrongly. The vegetables in the other plate was good though.

We've been coming here for years, and it never fails to disappoint. They are closed Sunday and Monday, and for us, that is the only downfall. I can't stay upset though, as this is a family owned restaurant and they deserve a break. We stopped in this afternoon and everything we ordered was tasty and hot. We also had a spring roll with peanut sauce that we ate before getting a picture. All was very good.

Boba, yellow curry chicken (+ a side order of noodles to complete it), fried tofu, iced Thai tea, and a noodle dish (forgot the name).

FYI: this place is closed from 7.19.2022 - 8.1.2022 Tasty food, great drinks! I've been here twice in the past week and a half because my friends love it, and it's funny that I hadn't been here before. Boba is comparable to the mall place, and is about a dollar cheaper. Food is quite good and takeout was a pretty short wait. Variety of options for vegetarians - will seek this place out in the future!

Sisters love pork larb!

I love their showering rama, my family thinks the larb is a perfect healthy starter, my husband loves the steak salad, their sides of peanut sauce are a necessity. We were pleasantly surprised by this hole in the wall. The level of spice based on star rating is spot on! Will be coming back surely because all I have tried is crave-able and service and staff seem devoted, clean, and professional. Yummy Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice as well. Maybe someday we will bring our son and try their bubble teas!

Ordered pad Thai and curry. The pad Thai had little flavor and the curry had the wrong protein, and separated after a few minutes.

Restaurant needs a good cleaning. Food was Ok. But it was busy with lots of take out orders. Maybe take out is best.

Consistently excellent and delicious authentic Thai with fresh ingredients prepared by a Thai chef with the help and service of his family.

These folks don't really want your business. That's why their food tastes like cardboard, dried out tasteless.

We had come by the area to stop by for a different food truck but they were not there despite their…read morehours saying that they would be, so we decided to try out All About Pad Thai instead since they were open. As we were looking at their menu to decide what we wanted, the owner/cashier was very polite and kind and asked if he could give our dogs some treats as they were with us. Our fur babies loved the treats and the nice gentleman complimented them. I always appreciate a business that is dog friendly. We decided to order a Pad Thai classic and Pad Thai Stix. We were given a little electronic device that would beep when our order was ready. After a few minutes, we got our food and on their counter they had utensils, napkins, sauce cups, and different ways of giving your food some spice as they do not have the typical star spice level system here. The sauces they provided were a peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce and it went perfectly with our Pad Thais. We were really impressed with Pad Thai Stix as that was our first time trying anything like that. We definitely want to return to try more of their menu! There are plenty of seating near the food truck. There are even sheds with seating as well, if you want to avoid the sun.

Ate here with Jaric on a whim while we were walking around downtown Olympia. Very filling of a meal…read moreand I cannot believe that I finished my Singaporean stir fry noodles all in one sitting. Jaric was shocked, too. It was good, but I totally expected a pad see ew equivalency with the big and flat noodles. These noodles did not taste as good as that, but eh... on me for not reading the whole description. The Vietnamese coffee was indeed very bitter, but thank gosh for our very accommodating waitress who was willing to pour in mil k to sweeten it up for me. It took me a bit to finish this drink because it did its job to wake me up after a 12 hour shift, tax filing for the 2025 year, and immediate hangout with Jaric. Jaric got something with chicken, which was okay. I liked it and it was definitely filling! The restaurant is fun with its yellow lighting, but it is one where you are able to still take nice enough photos as well as read the menu. Thank you again to the waitress for helping me finalize my order when I had to take some time to decide what was worth the price to eat. Thank gosh for side street parking during the weekday, too, because we were able to comfortably park our car and go to this restaurant.
