    #R6 Sausage Fried Rice
    Alex V.

    This Vietnamese restaurant excels in every aspect-from playing and flavor of texture. The balance of each dish is absolutely remarkably well executed. The service is always attentive throughout, and the dining environment feels very comfortable. I've been coming here for years. I ordered the R6 Sausage Fried Rice (don't be afraid of carbs) it was very delicious, filling, perfectly seasoned, never became soggy and the portion was generous. If you find yourself in Gilroy, I definitely recommend this place. Thank you for the hospitality and I look forward to my next visit - thank you very much!

    Huge portions for a fair price! The tofu and cashews were cooked very nicely, while the sauce was delicious (even without the fish sauce). Important note for vegetarians: let the staff know you're vegetarian and that you don't want any seafood/fish sauce!

    What a nice find in gilroy. I wasn't expecting to have Thai food of this quality but it was very good. Service was fast at this restaurant. Everything I tried had very good flavor and worthy of a second visit

    Massaman Curry with Tofu
    Lloyd C.

    After spending time in Gilroy with some friends. We decided to stop into Saigon 2 for dinner. They are located in a fairly busy and crowded strip mall. Though, parking was not too bad. Cozy, intimate setting with nice decor. The restaurant is and could only accommodate a couple of large groups (6+ people). The service was very good (5/5). Polite, friendly, helpful, and very attentive. I forgot to catch his name. He worked Sunday night, Dec 7th. The menu was fairly extensive highlighting Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. Mixed Jae: stir-fried seasonal veggies sauteed in garlic, soy sauce, and oyster-based sauce (4/5). Yellow Curry: Thai infused yellow curry made with yellow curry paste, coconut milk, carrots, and potatoes. Served with your choice of protein (chicken) and spice level (mild). The curry seemed a bit too watery. Maybe, the mild spice level is still too spicy for some. Otherwise, the flavor was ok (3/5). Massaman Curry: Thai infused thick and rich peanut sauce with a coconut red curry base, seasoned with sweet spices of cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Served with carrots, potatoes, and your choice of protein (tofu) and spice level (mild). Again, this was very watery. we are used to a richer, thicker Massaman (2.5/5). Pad Thai: Pan-fried thin rice noodles in house made tamarind sweet and sour sauce. Stir-fried with eggs, scallions, and beansprouts. Topped off with beansprouts, lime wedges, and ground peanuts. Served with your choice of protein (chicken). This was decent but still lacked the depth of flavor (3/5). Steamed rice (3.5/5). Piping hot and it stayed warm in the bowls they came in. I'd come back to try some of their other dishes the next time I am in the area.

    Came in on a weekday right at 5 and wasn't too busy! There's a big parking lot that's kind of packed but easy to find parking. Came with a party of 6, seated quickly and were given our water and menus. Inside is a little humid but lots of fans blowing to keep you cool. Interior is nice and gives off a cozy vibe. Service could be better. The lady worker seemed a bit annoyed but the guy worker was kind. Food was served fairly quick. For food, we got a few dishes... Yum Woon Sen (Thai noodle salad): 9.5/10 - this was super yummy! Had a nice tang to it and was seasoned well. Noodles were cooked just right Pad Thai: 7/10 - lacking the tanginess I enjoy from a good pad thai. This was still good but I've had better! Solid dish Pineapple Fried Rice: 10/10 - this was my favorite! Had a nice sweetness to it, rice was cooked well, seasoning was great. Everything in it was perfect. Super tasty and hit the spot :) Yellow Curry: 8.5/10 - this was good! Although light in color, it was flavorful. The curry was creamy, chicken was a bit tough but still good, potatoes cooked well Pad See Ew: 6/10 - this was not bad, but the noodles were overcooked (really soft and kind of breaking easily). The flavor was lacking, this not being as flavorful as the other dishes. Veggies were cooked well and the beef too! Seafood Thai Basil: 8/10 - very flavorful dish with a variety of seafood! Good stuff Prices were reasonably priced for the portion sizes given. Overall, this is a solid place for Thai food and I'd come back again!

    Saw positive feedback to go here during a trip to Gilroy, and we were incredibly impressed by everything. The menu had a VERY wide diverse menu that made me nervous, but we stuck to the Thai options - Pad Thai, Crying Tiger, and the yellow curry. The flavors were absolutely spot on - the pad Thai had the right flavor and texture (along with tons of protein), and the marinade on the crying tiger was top notch and barely needed the side sauce. We also loved the inclusivity to kids, between the cute bowls and the great options on a colorful kids menu. Easy parking, clean interior, friendly service throughout...we are 100% coming back.

    Bahn Mi with Spicy Chicken
    Prath C.

    We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. There was a slight wait as we were a slightly bigger group, but we were able to get a table relatively quickly. The ambiance was lively. I ordered the Bahn Mi with Spicy Chicken. I wasn't a fan of the bread, as it wasn't the crunchy baguette that is usually used; it was instead soft and more like a bun. The inside/fillings were pretty good - I liked the spicy chicken a lot and it was savory and spicy. The pickled veggies and mayo were good and it was a good combination with the chicken. Our server was super friendly and enthusiastic. Overall, I would still like to come back and try something else on the menu as I really liked the restaurant, but wasn't a fan of the bread.

    Sweet Sausage Fried Rice

    Delicious Thai food! The Crying Tiger was the highlight of the meal and their chili sauce paired very well with the bbq beef meat. Although the sweet sausage fried rice didn't come in a square shape as shown on the menu, the portions were generous and service was quick and friendly. We will definitely be back for more of their Vietnamese/Thai food options!

    I'm loving this place. I truly enjoy spicy food so this is right up my alley. It's clean organized good service. Love the atmosphere, the Customer Service is very attentive here they make a special Thai chili. I enjoy with fish sauce amazing.

    Shrimp pad Thai
    Crystel B.

    First time in and ordered Pad Thai shrimp for take out. It was still hot by the time I drove home over the hill. Great flavor although I was missing mint and cilantro from a different spot I go to. None the less I'd buy this again and would add veggies as well. Definitely look forward to going back to try something else from their full menu. Cute little spot and friendly staff.

The vibe was family friendly and welcoming. They have been around for over 6 years now. We ordered vermicelli with bbq pork and shrimp, beef ball noodle, and a beef stew with tendon. Everything was delicious. The broth was warm and flavorful. The tendon beef and bbq pork was tender and juicy. Overall we enjoyed our experience at M Noodle & Cafe.

This is the second time I have gone to eat with someone who kind of ruined the experience of a new restaurant for me. It is not their fault.

    I've been going to TK since I was a little kid, so I already understand how these types of…read morefamily-owned Asian restaurants usually operate, and honestly that's why I didn't take everything personally. As an Asian person myself, I respect the hustle because I know restaurant life is hard and they probably deal with all kinds of customers daily. That being said, you can definitely feel the difference between locations. The Fremont location has always felt warmer, friendlier, and more relaxed. Maybe it's the location or the type of customers they deal with, I'm not sure, but the Gilroy location gave a much more controlling vibe that I personally didn't like. At other TK locations, they usually let customers pack their own condiments or freely grab what they need. Here, everything felt very monitored and limited. We ordered two dishes and only got tiny amounts of chili oil and toppings. I even accidentally grabbed an extra straw because my drink straw was already packed in the bag, but honestly the overall vibe made me assume they probably forgot it. The way she looked at me after mentioning it made the interaction feel awkward, like I did something wrong over a straw. I understand restaurants are trying to save money because everything is expensive now, and they probably deal with customers taking too much. I get it. But the overall vibe just came across as overly strict and cheap to me personally. Even paying extra for pork grinds felt weird because instead of putting it in a separate container so I could actually see the portion, they just tossed it into the bowl. I also asked for the rice to be packed separately so it wouldn't get soggy by the time my husband got home, and it felt like I was asking for too much. The food itself was still really good, which is why this review is disappointing to write. This is the closest TK to my house, so I genuinely hope they stay open and do well. I just hope the customer service becomes a little warmer and less controlling when it comes to condiments and small requests. Not trying to bash an Asian-owned business at all -- just being honest as someone who's been eating TK for years. I'd still come back for takeout because the food is solid. I did kill my soup at home tho!
