A great place for pho!…read more Had some allergy issues so I came on a weekday for a hot bowl of pho to clear my sinuses out! The restaurant is in a shopping center and it can be hard to find parking especially at lunch time. The establishment is on the smaller side with a counter to order/pay and tables along the wall. I got the Thai tea and chicken pho. The Thai tea is on the sweeter side for those who like that I think next time I'll ask them to make it not as sweet as I love the Thai tea flavor to stand out. The food came out quickly and extra hot. This was a generous portion size of pho and they didn't skimp on the meat. My only complaint is serving lemon with the pho instead of lime. Overall a no frills restaurant with great tasting pho I'll definitely be back.

We ordered a large pho to-go, and when we got home, it had only two small pieces of meat and maybe…read more1/4 cup of noodles. I've never seen such a RIDICULOUS small portion for a large pho. My husband called to see if there had been a mistake, and we were told to drive back. Since our bánh mì was already cold, he asked if they could remake the entire order. When they did, the pho still had barely any more meat than before. When he questioned it, he was told it only looked like there was more once the broth was added. He then asked for a little extra noodles, and they tried to charge him. There was no apology, and the employee seemed annoyed. When he asked if they could offer anything for the inconvenience of making another trip, he simply said, "We don't do that." The biggest disappointment wasn't just the small portions--it was the customer service. We won't be returning.

This is our go to place for Boba and Bánh Mìs! We've known the outstanding owners since they were…read morethe previous owners at Saigon Pho. They continue to provide the same level of fantastic food and superb service. There are so many options to choose from. My daughter loves the Mango Green Tea and my favorite is the BB12 - Double Oreo Milk Tea w/ Puff Cream added with Boba. I love their Grilled Pork Bánh Mì. The sandwich sizes are generous and we've also enjoyed their spam musubi. The ambiance is also Instagram ready for anyone looking for a sexy social media shot! Definitely give this place a try if you're looking for a one stop shop!

My go to is always the banh mi. The grilled chicken and pork are my favorite and at the current price of $7-8, I find them a great lunch or dinner option. They are a good sized sandwich and I usually eat one half at a time. Their chicken wings had a great and satisfying crunch even after taking them home.The insides were super tender and juicy. The sauce is a great balance of sweet and heat. I recommend this place to all my friends visiting the area and are craving so Vietnamese food. Also, they've always professional and friendly customer service, even when the restaurant is swamped. It definitely fills up on the weekends.

I came in specifically for the chicken phở and requested dark meat, as I generally find it more…read moretender, succulent, and flavorful than the ubiquitous pre-sliced chicken breast often served in phở. For me, a great bowl of phở is about the relationship between the broth and its ingredients. While the broth has potential, the chicken is equally important--it should be tender, moist, and freshly prepared, complementing the depth and fragrance of the broth rather than becoming an afterthought. Unfortunately, the chicken here fell somewhat short. The texture lacked the tenderness and juiciness I was hoping for, which ultimately diminished an otherwise promising bowl. There is a good foundation here, and I would love to see the same attention given to the chicken as to the broth. A more carefully prepared, higher-quality cut of meat could make a meaningful difference and elevate the bowl considerably. In short: the broth has potential. Now, upgrade the chicken game.

Last chance to have food at Barzar Eatery tomorrow, Sunday, 7/26! They're closing after tomorrow…read moreand then hoping to reopen... closer to the Bay Area proper! Come early or you'll likely not get to have what you're eyeing on. When: Saturday dinner at 5pm (came when they were opening door) What: Chicken satay, pork satay, beef satay, seafood laksa, hainanese chicken rice, fried spring roll Experience: Superb food!! It is a lot of food, but we wiped out all of it among two adults and two young kids. The satays were SO GOOD! Hands down the best I've had in the USA, and on par with the best satay places I've had in Southeast Asia! Our favorites including both kids were beef and pork. So tender, so flavorful and delicious even without using the peanut sauce. We even got another two orders of each to take home! Seafood laksa was such a big portion with good amount of seafood. If you've had Singaporean or Malaysian laksa, this is different. Different in a good way since the owner chef is from Indonesia. The Hainanese chicken rice was tasty. Turmeric rice was different since I'm used to the ginger chicken rice, but the poached chicken was very well made. Under the chicken skin was a layer of gelatin which happens when the chicken is poached and then cool in a meticulous method. Together with the ginger scallion oil sauce, it was umami! Fried spring rolls were crispy and good flavor of meat and vegetables inside. Together with their house lime chili sauce, it was a party in the mouth! Looking forward to their opening at their next location!

(I also paid using the online services, but I did see someone paying in person.) I was drawn to Bazar Eatery when I saw they had Laksa; I ordered the Seafood Laksa. Ever since I had it in Singapore, I've been hoping to find somewhere that serves this soup. It was nice to find somewhere that serves it, but it doesn't compare to the flavor of the laksa I had in Singapore. (Maybe it's a different variant of the dish, but I preferred the more coconut heavy broth flavor that I had over there.) I still enjoyed this dish overall though. I also tried the Hainanese Chicken. It really wasn't anything amazing, but this could be due to the dish being served with regular, white rice; they had run out of turmeric rice for the day. I also had the kumquat sparkling drink. The menu notes it's sour, but I didn't think it was overly so. It was still more sweet than sour in my opinion. I enjoyed the drink, and it tasted like they used real fruit rather than artificial syrups. I think the portions are a bit small, particularly in the case of the Hainanese Chicken, but it's nice that they served complimentary shrimp chips. Service came off as genuinely welcoming/friendly, even if we weren't checked on after the food came out.

The place is big enough to have a good lunch rush, which is perfect for the neighboring offices…read more They open at 10am, an hour earlier than the majority of restaurants, which is a huge plus! The banquets and chairs are comfy, the lighting is great, and the tvs are always popping off local news. Solid bowl of pho, and very solid banh mis as well! The crispy string rolls are a nice way to start a meal. They also serve Vietnamese coffee, tho I haven't had the time to try! Will be back!

Saigon Nho...more like, Saigon YES! We came on a weekday morning and were seated right away…read more We ordered the #2 Combination Pho and the #6 Pho with brisket, flank, and meatballs. The broth was rich and balanced, and the tendon was perfectly tender. Our small secret is to request a side of Hanh Dam - tangy, slightly sweet onions, to counterbalance the flavors. Do it! Our food came out quickly, and our server was kind and attentive. This is a smaller pho location with about 15 tables on the main street in downtown Fairfield. Thus, there's no dedicated parking lot, but street parking is easy to find. There seems to be a lot of turnover in local businesses in this area, so I hope this family-run restaurant flourishes well into the future!

Tom Yum Goong is located in the back corner of the parking lot next to the Vietnamese restaurant…read more(Pho Lee Hoa Phat). We frequent the Vietnamese restaurant, but never really think about going to Tom Yum Goong until today. We were originally going to Pho Lee Hoa Phat for dinner, but when we walked up I asked my son if he want to eat Thai instead which he and my wife decided they wanted to eat instead of Vietnamese. Ambiance (3.5/5 stars): first impressions when we walked in is that it is dark and needed more lighting. After sitting down, I noticed that one side of the restaurant was full of random antique items. I overheard someone asking them about the antiques and the owner said that her husband buys the antiques at estate sales, etc and that they are open to offers to purchase them. There are some Thai decor in the restaurant. Older 70's/80's music was playing in the background so it didn't feel like being in a Thai Restaurant especially with all the American antiques on one side of the restaurant. There are a handful of tables (seating for 4 people), but they do have room for larger parties. Food (4.5/5 stars): We really enjoyed our food. They had great flavors. The portion size was not big, but the price also reflected the smaller portion size compared to other Thai restaurants in town. Dishes: - Mango Salad: nice chunks of mango, mixed with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onions, mint, cilantro, carrots, cashews, shrimp and the chef's special mango sauce. It was a nice refreshing dish and was once of our favorite dishes that we ordered today. - Super Pad Thai w/ Chicken: flavorful, authentic Pad Thai flavors - Moo Yang (B.B.Q. Pork): nice tasting grilled pork with sweet chili dipping sauce - Pad Ka Prow (Pad Basil - Beef): nice flavor, had a lot of green beans (not usually in Pad Ka Prow), but I liked the flavors. I always welcome extra veggies. Service (4/5 stars): The waitress/owner was very nice and was pretty attentive overall. She was the only one waiting tables and with take out orders as well as helping some in the kitchen. She came by a few times to check on us and refill our waters. It was a slow night for dinner (~7pm, Friday), only one other table eating and 2 take out orders while we were there, so not sure how the service would have been if they were busy. Food came out relatively quick. Tom Yum Goong is a kind of hidden in Vacaville. They have great tasting food and would be much busier at a better location. They do have smaller portion sizes, but prices do reflect that. Between Vacaville and Fairfield, I feel Vacaville's Thai restaurants are much tastier than any in Fairfield and Tom Yum Goong is no exception. If you are craving some good Thai food, give them a try. You might even find a piece of antique that you may want to purchase.

Had an auntie visit from Florida, so we decided to bring her to Buddha Thai Bistro. Part of the…read morereason I chose Buddha Thai was because of their new menu items, particularly the ALLIGATOR dishes. The 3 different alligator dishes. I chose the Alligator Drunken Noodles. The alligator meat was soft and not chewy or dry and "tastes like chicken." You literally cannot tell the difference by look and taste. Texturally, the meat has a slightly more chew to it than chicken, but other than that 99%+ people would not know the difference. Other dishes we had were: Pad See You (beef), Mango Curry, Tom Kha Soup, Eggplant S'il Vous Plait and Papaya Salad. Everything was delicious! Service: Great! Waitress was very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and refill our water without asking. She also came by when it was the last call before the kitchen closed to see if we wanted to order other dishes or desserts. The prices have gone up some from their old menu, but the portions have also gotten bigger. Their new menu items are great and I look forward to trying out more of their new items as well as the old, traditional items.

For the price, I think it's fair. The pho portion is filling and the bowl can be shared depending on the person. I shared one bowl with my partner and it was enough, but not quite enough. If you're splitting with someone who doesn't eat much (or sharing with a child), one bowl can work. But for two adults, I'd recommend getting two bowls. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant also seemed clean -- no bad smells or anything out of the ordinary. As for the food, it was solid. Not the most extraordinary pho I've ever had, but it tasted good and the broth was definitely the highlight. Adding chili really brought it to life. Overall, I'd recommend it if you're looking for decent pho at a fair price.

The place serves authentic Thai dishes and it is best to share family style if you come with several people so that you can experience more dishes. Started with a Sake "Mohito". It was very good. Mild flavor and not crazy strong. I nursed it throughout my entire meal. The Fresh Spring Rolls were as the name advertised. Vegetarian with tofu inside. Interesting thing is that it was served with two sauces, but the traditional peanut sauce but also a Thai Sweet Chili sauce. I decided to combine both sauces onto my Spring Rolls. Surprisingly, the two sauces complemented each other pretty well. The Yellow Curry was smooth and thick (not watery like some places). Rich is flavor. I can probably just eat some plain rice with just the curry sauce and I would be happy. It's that good. The Crispy Chicken with Ginger Rice was a crowd favorite as well. The chicken itself was solid but pretty standard. The ginger rice added a unique flavor to the dish. I've never had ginger rice at a restaurant before. We also had a stir fry dish that was composed of asparagus and a protein of your choice. We chose chicken. It was also solid but not as unique as the other two entrees we had. Still same cute modern interior. It was VERY busy on a Saturday evening so service may be a bit slower. But the food was great and staff was very friendly.
