We tried the basil fried rice, pad thai, mango sticky rice, thai iced tea, and thai iced green tea. basil fried rice -10/10, rice was super flavorful and had good spice to it. came with onion, pepper, chicken, and green beans. definitely did not skip on protein. pad thai -10/10, noodles were a little softer than i preferred, but extremely flavorful (was nutty, tangy and had a great kick). we asked for medium spice, but was definitely more on the spicier side. thai iced tea & thai iced green tea - 7/10, drinks were good but a little on the sweeter side. wish the tea was a little stronger in both mango sticky rice - 10/10, definitely a good end to the meal. mangos were refreshingly sweet and paired well with the sticky rice, which was nicely cooked. loved how they put the coconut cream on the side so you can put how much you want on it. Staff were friendly and food came out fast. Restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but has a clean, modern look to it. Overall, food was delicious and pricing was good. Definitely would come back again! read more

I was greeted and seated immediately. Nice table near the window. This was a solo meal on my lunch break and soup was on my mind. I ordered the Tom Kha without tomatoes and added shrimp, because I was in a seafood type of mood. They were fairly busy, but I've been here before so knew how efficient they are, so I wasn't worried about being late getting back to work. I didnt want anything to drink except for water but I have had their Thai Ice Tea and it is delicious. Will be back! read more

Located near Ross, between Noodle House and 85 Degrees Bakery. I came on a Friday to meet a friend for lunch. I was seated right away with water and menus while I waited for my friend. I decided to order Fresh Rolls, Prawn Rolls and Papaya Salad while I waited. When my friend arrived, we added Fried Shrimp Chips, Crab Fried Rice, Pad Eggplant with Tofu and Fried Pompano Fish. Everything tasted good or satisfactory. The papaya salad could use more spices and fish sauce for flavor as it was a little bland. The crab fired rice was also a little bland and I was not actually able to pick out any major discernible crab. The pompano fish was fried nicely and the sauce for the fish was good. Both the shrimp chips and prawn rolls were what I expected, nothing special. The pad eggplant had good flavor and went well over rice. My favorite dish was their fresh rolls which were good size with good amount of mangos and the peanut dipping sauce was good, but could benefit from a little more fish sauce. The service was good and the waitress that served us was attentive. I ordered extra food so I can take some home for my family and when I asked for boxes, she brought them, but I had to pack the food myself. Overall, Pikul Thai Bistro is a decent place to go for Thai food in Fairfield, but I find most of the Thai restaurants in Vacaville have better flavors. read more

Came here past 5:00 PM on a Friday afternoon. A few customers were already seated even when they just opened at 5:00 P.M. The place is clean and well-lit. The lady server who greeted me had a smiling and welcoming face. There was a bit of a wait after I ordered 2 items on the menu. Food was just okay. The large servings made up for the average flavors of what I ordered: Pad Eggplant - 3/5 I like how they were not stingy with the meat that they put in this order. Green curry - 3/5 It was just okay. One thing I noticed: the server never changed the black gloves she wore whether she was bringing in fresh food from the kitchen to a customer's table or after she gathered up dirty dishes from the customers' tables. When it was time to give me containers for the food I couldn't finish, she was using the same gloves to hold onto the plastic containers as well as holding the inside of my carton container that was supposedly for my leftover rice. I decided not to take the rice anymore because of the contaminated container. Maybe management can do further staff training regarding food handling and hygiene. I would still encourage others to try this place. read more

I was in search for the best drunken noodles in Fairfield and the 4.7 rating and all the reviews lead me right into the door. I ordered to go, but I will definitely sit in after this experience, because I'm 100% coming back. The outside is unassuming and the signage isn't very noticeable, but when you step inside of this tiny hole in the wall it's bright, clean, and well decorated. I was greeted with a friendly smile, and the lady behind the register made friendly conversation and was very pleasant to interact with. I ordered potstickers, spicy basil chicken, garlic fried rice, & drunken noodles. The filling inside the potstickers is savory and spicy with an ample amount of filling they were a 5/5 for me. The drunken noods were almost perfect, but the spice level was mild in comparison to most, though it had the best flavor of any I've had in the surrounding area, this is definitely a 4.8/5. The garlic fried rice was packing a punch of flavor and the rice was cooked and fried to perfection, and is served in a large portion, this is a 4.5/5 for me, as I felt it could use more egg. The spicy basil chicken was so flavorful, the basil was fresh. And the chicken was tender and juicy. I felt the green beans could have been more firm, but aside from them being on the soft side, the flavor was great! I give this a 4.8/5. Overall I give this delectable hole in the walla 4.7/5 read more

Excellent! My new go to Thai food restaurant. Service is pleasant. The food is very flavorful. I have a few favorite dishes here. The pad Thai is the best I've had in a long while. The pork belly fried rice is 10 out of 10. Crispy strips of pork belly on top of well seasoned rice. The fresh spring rolls are tasty. Prices are the going price for eating out. Can't forget about the desert. The mango sweet rice is a hit! It's not a big place but roomy enough to be comfortable. read more

I really enjoyed this spot and will be back if im in the area. Pad Thai: Was a little soupy and the noodles were like pho noodles, so it threw me off a little. it tasted great, but was not "traditional". 8/10 Papaya salad: probably the best papaya salad ive had since thailand. so flavorful and would have gotten a 10 if it had dried shrimp. must try. 9/10 Garlic Catfish: This was the star of the show. Really delicious flavor, perfectly balanced, and went really well with white rice to sop up the sauce. I could eat 10 plates of this. 10/10 Service was friendly but had to flag them a few times. Ambiance is typical sit-down Thai spot, not fancy but clean. read more

We don't come up to this area often, and when we do, it's usually just to stop by the furniture outlets in Vacaville. Last time we were here, we were craving Thai food and ended up trying Buddha Thai based on all the Yelp hype. Honestly, it was underwhelming. So this time around, we still had Thai on our minds and decided to try a different restaurant, Pikul Thai Bistro. The food here was much better. We started with the papaya salad. Portions are generous, and it was packed with flavor. If they had added dried shrimp, which some places do, this could've easily been the best papaya salad I've ever had. Next, we ordered a dish from their specials menu: fried catfish with garlic sauce. It came with green beans and some mixed veggies. The fish was cooked well and had great flavor, though it was a little heavy on the sauce. It also came with a side salad that we didn't really care for, but the main dish itself was solid. We also tried the chicken pad Thai and asked for it extra saucy. They definitely delivered on that. At first, it felt like too much sauce, but after sitting for a bit, the noodles soaked it up and it was actually more flavorful as leftovers. That said, it wasn't my favorite pad Thai. It leaned a bit sweet, and they used pho style noodles, which tend to clump up during stir frying. I prefer the traditional pad Thai noodles that are slightly wider and hold up better. Also not a fan of how they mixed the bean sprouts in during the stir fry. That made them soggy. Most Thai spots leave the bean sprouts on the side so they keep some crunch. Service was friendly. Our server was new and didn't have all the answers to our questions but was polite and made the effort to go check with the kitchen. Overall, this was a much better Thai food experience in the area compared to our last visit. It's not perfect, but we'd definitely come back if we're in the neighborhood again. read more

I can't enough about visiting this restaurant. The people are so kind and friendly. I usually get the same thing when I come, so most times I don't venture to other areas to often. Today, I tried the Shrimp Appetizer and the BBQ Chicken as new to me dishes. The shrimp was crunchy and tasty with a sauce. The BBQ Chicken on a bed of cabbage and carrots was so delightful! It had the best taste of chicken I've tasted in a long time. It was super tender, juicy and flavorful. I knew it must be marinated for a few days. Their Yellow Curry and Pineapple Fried Rice are always good. The place is always clean and I am greeted when I visit. I like it here and always look to return. Thank you read more

When we stumbled upon this cozy gem, it was a rainy night on the night of our child's first birthday. We were greeted immediately upon entrance by a friendly face and ushered to a table with a high chair in tow. The menu was fairly priced and with great selection, and very soon after making our selections the food was delivered. That night I had some of the best pork broth I've ever tasted. It was flavorful and not overly seasoned--infusing the rest of the ingredients. Throughout our meal the waiting staff was attentive and kind, and even surprised us with a desert for the baby with a makeshift candle. They made what could have been an ordinary night into a one we will never forget. This is what five stars is all about. read more

Came here during a weekday lunch and they had plenty of seats available. Service was great and food came out fast! Everything we had was so good. *I really enjoyed the catfish pad ped because that isn't commonly seen at other Thai restaurants. I ordered medium spicy and it had my mouth tingling, but in a good way. Tons of cat fish pieces! I also appreciate their method of preparing this dish to retain that crispy texture of the catfish. *Calamari was fried to perfection as it was not chewy. It also had a meatier bite, so they cut their calamari on the thicker side, which I appreciate.--don't like biting into a bunch of batter. *Pad Thai was good, but I wish there was more tamarind flavor. Noodles were nice and al dente. *Tom yum was cooked how it should be--herb forward. You can really taste the lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves. It's what makes this soup unique. Looking forward to returning and trying their other dishes! read more

While I want to start by saying the food itself was excellent--the drunken noodles were flavorful with fresh basil, and the pot stickers were delicious--I was disappointed by the level of customer service I received. When placing my order online, I utilized the provided option to request modifications. I specifically requested that the mango be omitted from the fresh rolls due to an allergy. However, the restaurant called to inform me that the rolls were pre-made and could not be modified. This was concerning, as it implies the food is not being prepared fresh to order. When I explained my allergy and requested to swap the fresh rolls for pot stickers, the staff initially refused, citing a $1 price difference. While I fully understand the need to pay for the items I receive, it was frustrating to have to negotiate this exchange after the restaurant's own online ordering system accepted a request they were unable to fulfill. In a situation involving a food allergy, I would have expected a more accommodating and professional resolution rather than a debate over a nominal fee. My options were take mango or pay more. The restaurant has a wonderful, well-designed atmosphere, and the quality of the food is high. I truly hope this feedback is taken constructively, as I would love to return if the customer service process is improved to better support guest needs and safety. read more

First time here. We were greeted and seated right away. Host/server was very nice and quick to take our order. Food came out at the right amount of time. I enjoyed my lemongrass fried chicken and the shrimp fried rice was okay. I didn't really like the pad Thai. My husband did enjoy his appetizers but preferred the potstickers more than the fresh rolls. Price was fairly reasonable and we still had plenty of leftovers to take to go. As far as parking, it's located in a plaza so finding parking was easy. Also, the restaurant is very clean and spacious. read more

We got the crab fried rice with skrimp, the yellow curry and spicy wings. Everything was sooo good!! The Thai iced tea was yummy, as well. The reason we can't give it a 5 is because they were not able to accommodate/customize the fried rice by adding a meat we desired to have with it. The service pace was also not the best, but they were busy and the server was kind so we understood. Overall, this was a great experience. PS portions are 10/10. We'll definitely be back!

Came in with coworkers for our Friday lunch hour and there were a few tables with guests already seated. We called ahead for pick up and their estimated completion time was accurate. The waitress was super friendly and helpful, and we got our food without any issues. Place was very clean and organized. I got the yellow curry with chicken, cheese rangoons, and a Thai tea. The Thai tea was delicious, and the yellow curry was very filling! I had enough to eat half for lunch, and eat the other half for dinner. It came with rice and the perfect amount of spice. The rangoons were a bit pricey for an appetizer, (not sure why they weren't on the menu) especially since it didn't have crab, but they were filled to the brim. Will definitely be back, but probably just for the yellow curry and drinks. read more

I stopped here for a quick lunch. It was nice and tidy inside, server was very sweet, and their lemon chicken appetizer was pretty good! Definitely came with enough chicken to share with 2-4 people. I saved the rest for my husband. I will say, the lemon sauce was honey mustard based, and I wish there was a little more lemon flavor, or maybe even a lemon on the side. The chicken was crispy and very good! I definitely would like to come back here and have their real entrees, along with their springrolls with peanut sauce. read more

My husband and I tried this place on New Year's Eve and it was extremely disappointing. We've been to many Thai restaurants and this was some of the WORST Thai food we've ever had. The Drunken Noodles dish (yes we know they're the flat noodles) were so mushy and tasteless. The Spring Rolls were cold as if they had just been pulled out of the refrigerator. Service was bare minimum. We definitely don't recommend this place. read more

Our typical Thai place was closed for the night, so we decided to check Pikul out. All I can say is WOW!!!! We definitely have found our new go-to Thai place!

I was surprised it got a 4.7 rating! The food we ordered was just okay. The Laarb Salad was on the bland side - it didn't have much flavor. I was very disappointed since I was looking forward to that good mix of flavors. I've had better elsewhere. Also ordered Drunken Noodles which chunky pork pieces. I was hoping they chopped them up to smaller pieces. Not recommend ordering take out or to go since it doesn't warm well. The Green Curry Coconut tasted good, but it was too runny making the coconut milk not thick enough. read more

The service was great and the food was yummy however their was a small hair in one of my plates. Not sure if they wear hair covering or not when they cook but it was pretty disappointing. I ended up wasting a whole plate of food and the lady asked why I didn't want to take it home, I told her I didn't want to make a big deal out of it but there was a hair on my plate. She apologized for it. Can't say that I'd be back, I'm super picky on food and that was a big turn off unfortunately read more

What they enlarged was the total AMOUNT of the bill. Then the copy he signed had a tip line. What the heck?!

I came here for a birthday party so a large table was reserved for us. The staff was friendly and service was quick. The restaurant is not very large so it was pretty busy when we were there which usually indicates the food is good. We ordered several dishes: papaya salad, lemongrass fried chicken, yellow curry with beef, pompano fish, pad Thai, and beef and broccoli. Overall, the dishes were quite tasty. The favorites would be the papaya salad and fried chicken. The salad was fresh and the chicken was crispy and not overly battered. The fish was lightly fried and the pad Thai was a tad too sweet but still good. The beef and broccoli dish probably was the least favorite. The meat was a little on the tough side. All in all, quite an enjoyable experience and I would definitely return. read more
