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).

Excellent food - always fresh! The ginger broccoli is my favorite. There's usually only 2 people working, but they're quick and friendly.

Tasty Thai, nice selection, reasonably priced, friendly and good location. Good level of spiciness. Try Taro Bubble tea, yum!

Super good food. I get the prick khing (green bean, peppers, chicken in a red curry sauce). Never disappointed. Great for takeout.

I personally believe myself to be a pad Thai expert :) having eaten probably thousands of pad Thais over the years, always in search of great Thai food and their pad Thai was great! It was more on the basic side with it having minimal pizzazz but the flavor was spot on. Garlic noodles were garlicky, spring rolls were great! And the goons were goonin! I'd go here again if I'm in the area! The outside looked really cool and my husband went inside to grab it but I think the service was great too!

The staff was nice and the restaurant looked clean and tidy, but the food was not good…read more For an appetizer we ordered the crab rangoon- average and fine. We had the salad rolls- the pork inside was salty and we thought maybe peanut sauce would come with the salad rolls... nope. It was a clear liquid that we couldn't figure out. Well I looked it up and it's a fish sauce. Not good at all. We ordered the Saigon garlic noodles for our entree. I was expecting some awesome, bold, garlicky Thai flavors, but what we got was seriously spaghetti noodles with parmesan cheese on top.....WHAT Why are we eating Italian food here? This has no scallions, no umami flavor, no sauce. there were dry pieces of chicken on the side that was pretty salty. Another odd thing is that we could smell a really weird scent in the restaurant, kind of like dirty feet!? Maybe dried, dirty mop water on the floor!? Strange because the restaurant is so clean. Wont be back. I'm sorry!

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.

To be fair, I have only eaten their combo lunch/dinner here, so I'll keep this review to that…read moreparticular menu item. First, it's a deal. One entree, two eggrolls, fried rice and a cup of soup for under $20. Decent portions, too. I usually have the Mongolian Beef, but have also enjoyed the Sweet & Sour Chicken on a few visits. It's what you would expect of Chinese American food, and from a Thai restaurant to boot. Service has always been fast and friendly. The restaurant itself is clean and neat. During busy times the street noise can be a bit intrusive, but that's downtown Oly for you.

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.
