    Singapore Mei Fun
    Elliot L.

    I am always on the lookout for places that I haven't been to that have at least one thing on their menu that intrigues me. Through my Yelp searches I discovered River House and noticed that their menu consists of Chinese, Thai and Indonesian. This is the first place that I've discovered in the central Pennsylvania area that offers anything Indonesian on the menu so on my day off from work I took the 37 minute drive to try this place out. The reviews online are good. Part of my trip there took me along the scenic Riverside route and it was nice to enjoy the autumn colors of the trees at this time of year. Upon entry into the restaurant there were two customers who were dining in and I was able to take seat wherever I wanted. Throughout the course of the meal two other customers dined in and several others came in to pick up their takeout orders. This place is pretty remote so it was interesting to find this kind of cuisine in this area. I first ordered the Soto Jakarta soup with a light broth, thinly sliced beef, cabbage, fried onions and the most delicate and thin angel hair noodles I've ever had. The soup was not bold in flavor but it stimulated my appetite. I then had their Singapore Mei Fun noodles and I ordered them extra spicy. Typically I would not order two noodle dishes back to back but I wanted to see what theirs was about. The Mei Fun was really the star of today's lunch. Super flavorful, great amount of heat which I like and the flavor lingered long after I finished eating. There were a couple other items on their menu that I want to try so that only goes to say that I'll have to return another day to get my fix.

    No River, just a house. Had a vision of watching the sunset and eating Asian fusion. Ended up with excellent takeout. Long line. Staff wore masks and worked at cleanliness. Patrons without masks (the vast majority). And without observing basic public health guidelines. Crispy beef wasn't that crispy. And Pad Thai was bland (ordered mild). Reasonably priced. Good quantities. And I did enjoy the food.

    From great service, delicious dinner & a nice finish of dessert of shaved ice with ice cream -- definitely enjoyed this restaurant in Wrightsville a little off the beaten path (for me). Definitely will stop here again (even if just for dessert) if in Wrightsville again.

    Chinese/asian cuisine restaurant that is a bit off the beaten path but worth dropping by if you are in the York / Columbia PA area. The Hawaiian shaved ice is very good. The ice is not as fine shaved as those you would get from the islands but it is a close imitation with authentic flavors such as passion fruit & tigers blood (not actual tigers blood) with a snow cap (condensed milk topping) and a scoop of ice cream underneath it all. Truely authentic.

    Finally had a chance to stop here for lunch. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was great and seasoned well. The dessert was fantastic. Will definitely come again!

    Burnt on most side and hard can't even cut into some boneless BBQ ribs

    Have been going here now 2 years always order same thing boneless rib combo last 4 or 5 times really not good, thought I would give it another chance and can not even bite into them. Called used to be thin great tasting boneless ribs done giving chances wanted to add a picture of them but it won't let me they are rediculous!

    After having lunch, we took a picture in front of the restaurant, together with the owner and staffs there who are so friendly

    Me and my group always visit Pennsylvania, and we always try to find Chinese Restaurant because they always serves it quick. But unfortunately, many of them either not clean, or too much noisy and always something make us unhappy at the end.. Yesterday we finally found one restaurant, here, that really awesome. The place is nice and clean, and the food so delicious. We also meet the owner and staffs that greet us very friendly. Definitely I'll recommend people to enjoy the food here, and for sure will come back whenever I'm around. You have to get your fabulous experience there. Try the Bean sprouts Tofu it's so fresh and tasty. Also their House Special Lo mein, you'll gonna come back for that.. Love it !

It took…read moreme a little while to get the attention of the waiter at First on a Friday night, but once I did, I was able to order and I chose the green curry. My date ordered vegetarian tofu stirfry, which looked really good, but was a tad bit spicy. Although I love green curry, it needed a little more flavor and was just kind of laid out on a plate with shrimp which wasn't a great presentation so I would say it was average to Good but could be improved on going forward overall the restaurant was nice the people were eventually attentive and the food was pretty good quality so I would recommend this place, but they could also improve the presentation in the flavor of the curry dish. I also had the mango salad, which I would recommend it was pretty delicious.

We had a great waitress and the staff was attentive and hardworking. Crab wontons were demolished by my parents while we enjoyed the chicken skewers. Great previews for what was to come with the entrees. I had the brown curry chicken which was absolutely delicious, tender white meat chicken, veggies in a sweet coconut sauce. My boyfriend had perfectly cooked salmon, dad had the same as me but medium and my mother had pad Thai (I think) medium. She just wished she got mild. But we all thoroughly enjoyed the food. Topped it off with fried ice cream! Great food and service and we would definitely go back, I know my parents will.

    I recently stopped by Sawasdee Thai Cuisine and had a great experience overall…read more To start, I ordered a Thai tea and their wonton soup. The soup came with Thai pork, vegetables, and scallions. It was very flavorful and came out nice and hot so good that I didn't feel the need to add anything extra to it. For my main dish, I ordered my go-to Thai meal: chicken and basil. It was super delicious. The chicken was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and the dish came out hot and fresh just like the soup. Parking was easy since they have their own dedicated parking lot. It's not huge, but I had no trouble finding a spot. The restaurant itself is family-friendly, and they had music playing in the background that added to the atmosphere without being too loud or distracting. Service was a little slower than usual today it took about 15 minutes for someone to come over and take my food and drink order, but once the order was placed, the food came out quickly. The staff was still very kind and welcoming, and things happen sometimes, so it wasn't enough for me to take away from the overall experience. They also have bathrooms available, which is always helpful for families stopping in. Seating options are tables, booths, and table and booth combination, If you enjoy Thai cuisine, this is definitely a spot worth checking out!

    If you give this little place a chance then you'll be happy you did…read more Oh, boy! What can I say about the food that my photos can't? Please take a peek at them. My wife and I tried a bit of everything with the foreknowledge that we'd be taking a to go box for what we couldn't finish. We both eat vegan so it was the vegetable spring rolls to begin with. I'm not usually one to brag on spring rolls but they were really delicious. I personally enjoyed the vegan soup with clear broth, veggies and tofu. Next up was the Pad Thai without peanuts due to my nut allergies and fried tofu. Man it was flavorful. Powerful but not overwhelming. My wife and I shared a bit of vegetable fried rice without eggs or meat. Definitely better than most places I've had fried rice at. 11 out of 10. But wait; there's more. My wife had some kind of flat noodle with brown sauce and veggies. The texture was soft with a mild flavor. Not too strong or off putting. Just simple. There was only one server but the service was pleasant and kindly. If you enjoy less people around then this would be a great ambiance for you. Oh almost forgot! My iced Thai tea was fantastic. Very sweet though like a dessert so I had to sip it in stages but enjoyable.
