    Pad Thai lunch
    Edwin M.

    I'm the only one in my family that likes Thai food. I finally had a lunch when I was on my own and could indulge. I drove out of my way to come here with great expectations. The dining area looked haphazard and thrown together, but I've been to plenty of mom & pop places like that that served great food. I waited for a bit to finally be greeted by the "mom" part of the equation when she came out from the kitchen and whose shrug invited me to pick my table. Still ok. I ordered Thai Iced Tea and Pad Thai with shrimp for which there was a dollar up charge. I was nicely warned that the tea was sweet and made with milk in case I was allergic. There was a lot of attention paid to the salad that was pleasing to the eyes and palate. The dressing was light and the salad dressed well. Then the Pad Thai came out as a pile of congealed noodles and 3 shrimp. The shrimp tasted fine, but the noodles had no taste. I was really hoping for Thai flavors, but left still wanting Thai food.

    The food is simply amazing, and the service is quick! It's a small dine-in place, but I noticed that many have been ordering and picking up their food! Either way, it is worth it! I would love to come back again to try others. This place is highly recommended! Customer Service is excellent, and the restroom is clean.

    I had a large catering order from this restaurant because I knew the food was excellent. Alex, the manager went above and beyond to help me with my orders. Her kitchen staff made my catering party experience memorable! The food was delicious and the presentation was superb! Thank You so much Alex and team for making my party memorable! I appreciate your hard work! I will definitely visit you again soon!!!

    Our friend ordered and we picked it up. It took just one 30 minutes to be ready. We paid $2 for peanut sauce and it was a tiny little container. They have really raised their prices, and it was just ok. The Tom Kha soup was tasty, but lacking in any substance. Mostly broth. The yellow curry was really very good but very runny. The mango sticky rice was good but for 12.00 was way too expensive. Probably won't go back

    Holy wow! What a find! I had to do a return up here and I walked into this gem. Delicious home made food! Ohhh la la. Great service. Great music on the overheads. And cute spot! Not to mention great tai ice tea (with coconut milk substitute option) I feel blessed to have walked into this gem in the land of Sunland.

    Very slow to get food. I called in the order to the store and they told me 20 minutes, when I got to the store, the lady had me pay and then began to make my order. Took another 25 minutes. I was try to be considerate of their UberEats fees so I called it in. Terrible service and the food isn't all that great.

    Feast ordered to go.

    Have been eatting here for 20 years since it used to be My Thai. We definitely have our favorites such as the red curry, Tom ka kah, but I wish the chicken had more flavours, the protein lacks flavour and the texture is dry, instead I get everything veggie base and am happy. Cashew chicken though is definitely one of our favorites.

    Delicious mango and sticky rice

Inside is fairly large with many different size tables so they can host many different sized groups. One thing I love about these sort of places is the service and this spot did not disappoint. Our waitress was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out super fast. There is a small free parking lot attached in front otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. I love how eclectic it is on the inside, every inch of the wall is covered in a collage of American memorabilia and various different things from various different places. It's really fun to glance at all of it while you're waiting for your food. As you would expect the menu is very large and filled with all sorts of diner classics. For this breakfast, I chose the Chili Cheese Omelette and really enjoyed it. It was a large sized portion and had some great flavor to it. The coffee is also really strong and I was a big fan of that as well. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area and make sure to bring cash.

When he got home and we opened the food, there were chunks of onions in the seafood linguine and scallions (which are onions) all over the cheesy garlic bread, which something I've never even seen on their garlic bread before, or any kind of garlic bread. On top of that, there was a hair in my husband's food! We called and spoke with Leslie, the alleged manager, and instead of apologizing, she argued that "the kitchen doesn't carry onions" and that "our chefs don't have hair," which honestly made the situation even more ridiculous. Meanwhile, we were sitting there hungry, irritated, and unable to eat the food we paid for. Her solution was basically "you can order something else", which after this experience, we absolutely would never do. She also said my husband would get a refund, but there was still no real apology or accountability, just excuses and defensiveness. Honestly, just really disappointed. If the kitchen was overwhelmed or overbooked, they could have simply said so. We would have respected the honesty far more than careless food prep and zero concern for an allergy issue.

We had a reservation so we were seated right away on the second floor, just above the bar. The music was a little on the loud side so conversation was a little strained. The food was absolutely amazing. Our server was very friendly and informative but was not quite as attentive as we would expect for an establishment like this. This was our first time here, so we had to try the Asparagus Fries. The asparagus was cooked to perfection but the batter did not have much flavor. Members of our party ordered the California Salad, a Veggie Burger, the Meatloaf and a Picante Pizza. The California Salad was smaller than expected but delicious. The Veggie Burger was excellent! The Meatloaf was the hit of the table. It was so good that my wife did not offer a taste to any of us. She was in food Heaven. The pizza was exactly as described and tasted wonderful. Since we were celebrating my birthday, our server brought me a delicious piece of double chocolate cake with a candle in it. Nice touch!! We also had one of their Warm Butter Cake's with some excellent vanilla ice cream on top. Absolutely wonderful!. This may be our new "go-to" place. Looking forward to return to savor the other items on the menu. Their drinks looked delicious as well, so we will definitely try those too.
