    The food, service, and ambiance is great!!! I've come here often for a year now and I'll say this is my favorite restaurant in Richmond! David is so nice, he treats his regulars very well.

    Good food and excellent customer service. We loved the flavorful spicy wings appetizer and couldn't get enough of the sauce it was tossed in. We also enjoyed the Eggplant with chicken, Praram Long with chicken, and the Crab Fried Rice. It was nice that each dish came with a little side salad on each plate. Ended our dinner perfectly with the delicious mango sticky rice. The owner Dave was very hospitable. We will be coming back to try other dishes.

    We have been to Sala Thai many times- and thought it was time for a review! What we got: Bbq Pork Crispy Shrimp Pad see ew - sub onions and mushrooms (no cabbage or broccoli) Bbq Salmon (forgot the pic of this) As usual- everything was fabulous! We have never had a bad meal here. It is delicious every time! The owner is friendly and funny! And the space is very welcoming! If you are craving delicious Thai food- give Sala a try -you won't be sorry! P.S. I need to come here more often!

    Tom ka soup, green curry,rice and fresh spring rolls.

    Friendly service, really good food one of my family's favorites. The restaurant is run by a really sweet family, and we're always greeted with a smile

    Everything is good here, as far as what we have tasted. Had lunch Christmas Eve and it was very satisfying and delicious. Service is great, a little pricey but overall it's worth it. Local neighborhood and we will support them anytime we want fresh rolls and good curry. Atmosphere is good not too crowded so we liked that.

    The host was great and the ambiance was perfect not too loud or quiet. Now, the food was AMAZING, we were surprised of how amazing everything was. Wish the food we ordered would come around the same time but other than that, it was fucking delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

    I stopped by at Sala Thai after my nail appointment next door and boy was it good! Great costumer service and food was fresh and hot which is awesome because I love my food hot! The ambiance of this restaurant was so relaxing and comfortable. The place was clean and tidy. I didn't get dessert because I was so full but next time il make sure to grab some!

    Mango Sticky Rice

    My girlfriend and I went last Saturday to try the mango sticky rice and it took them nearly 30 minutes to make it and the rice was undercooked. The coconut cream sauce was good but paired with hard rice, bland mango, and a near 30 minute wait time, definitely not worth it.

I knew I was in the right place when the menu didn't have artisanal kale or a mushroom burger on it. I stopped in with my dad, who has consistently great things to say about CJ's. The customer service was excellent from the moment we walked through the front door. Friendly vibes all around- it seems like CJ's is a community spot. The patrons and staff knew each other on a first-name basis and were quick to include us in the conversation. The overall vibe is what made it a five-star experience for me, and it seemed to get busy shortly after we arrived. Our food was ready quickly, and it was delicious. It was a little over $100 for generous portions of ribs, chicken, hot and mild links, macaroni and cheese, beans, and bread. While we took our food to go, the restaurant was very clean, and I would have been happy to stay and eat there. I hope to try the peach cobbler in the future, but I was too full today to have room for it.

    I love British style fish n' chips and haven't had really great local fish n' chips since Rhode's…read more(back in '80's Richmond/San Pablo - yes I'm old). Anyway, Hundal Sahib fish n' chips is pretty darn close! Their selection of fish and fried veggies is excellent. We ordered a large family meal (for 4 people) which came with 6 pieces of fish (large meaty pieces of cod), chips (aka fries for the Americans out there), fried mushrooms and onion rings and hush puppies. It was all made to order, crispy, juicy and delicious. And they gave us plenty of tartar sauce and malt vinegar without us even having to ask! I highly recommend this spot. And the restaurant interior is very cool and kitschy!

Looks the same from the outside. Inside could use some updating, but I always take it home. da Grub: went with the tried an true Double Catch; Cod & Prawns w/ mushrooms & fries. At 1st glance it looks pretty much the same... munch, and yep, very familiar Cod, very crispy outside, soft, white, tender inside. Prawns were nice size, about 2 bites per; mushrooms also crisp/tender. All atop some fries... and these were the only discernable difference, these were fries, not traditional pub style english "chips" as before - ok, but not as sturdy as chips which are typically stubby and thicker, and somehow stay crispy. Not a deal breaker though... the quality of the Cod & Prawns is most important and still shines through. da Service: Greeted warmly, nice lady, 15 min wait, packed in open cardboard tray so things stay crispy, you get a container each of malt, tartar & the cocktail/horseradish sauce (yummy, I use all 3 in every bite!). 5 Stars for quality; it's a bit pricey, but when it comes to seafood, don't skimp. Old school hole inda wall feel, with friendly service. You can't eat this too often, it's a cheat meal... but when you get the craving, this hits the spot, so come get it.

I recommended we grab pho but with the initial pick being closed, we pivoted to Pho Nation! When we came for dinner, it was quiet. We were one of the only customers but a few diners were coming in and out for takeout. The restaurant is super casual with not much decor or detail to it. The service was just okay and a bit confusing. For those dining in, they give you a menu and you order with them but everything else you need to go to the counter for (pay, water, any requests). We also weren't checked on during our meal. For food, I had the Regular Chicken Breast Pho. Even being a regular, it was a massive portion that I took home! The broth was good but I was never given a spoon. The noodles were on the smaller end as if they were cut. When I received my bowl the noodles were all compact so my theory is they just dumped it in there and assumed the broth would break it up. The chicken was tender. Everything else was on the table such as utensils, sauce, and garnishes. My old manager said her dish was great! I can understand this might be a fave pho place for residents in the area but I'm not sure if I'd willingly go back. It was great to try and the food was good. The restaurant is off San Pablo Dam Road with a giant private parking lot outside.

My friend decided to get extra meat and that was an extra $4. They also gave her double the vegetables for an additional $4 and extra meat as well. Her Thai iced tea was quite expensive for $6. Usually restaurants charge about $4 for Thai iced tea. I got their tofu sandwich which was full of tofu and not enough vegetables. I personally would have prefer more vegetables and less tofu. I did not like their tofu because it is a pre-fried tofu which is probably sold at Ranch 99 and from overseas. That kind of tofu has a non- creamy and somewhat tough texture. It's a bit dry even though they braise it. I prefer non-fried tofu that is slightly sauteed maintaining the creamy tofu texture. This was overly processed tofu. I will not order their tofu sandwich again. I would like to try their chicken sandwich next time and hope that they give me more vegetables. It will be nice to try some of their noodle soups which everyone else was ordering except for our table. The service was pretty quick. Their bathroom had no amenities like toilet paper. I will come back but don't know when.

When we walked in, no staff was out front, so we stood around a bit before we were seated. The staff quickly disappeared again, and throughout our meal, they were usually disappeared somewhere in the back. If you want something quick like extra utensils or napkins, you may need to wait a bit before someone appears. When ordering, we wanted to try both the Beef Buzz ($14.99) and the Fried Beef Buzz ($15.99). The lady who took our order said they were the same thing, and offered to just give us one half/half order instead of ordering two of essentially the same dish. We agreed to that offer, but she didn't mention anything about how that'll be charged. Of course, we ended up being charged the higher price of $15.99. Not a huge deal, but some better communication there would've been appreciated. We also ordered the Beef Huushuur ($14.99). The Beef Huuchuur arrived first, and it didn't look anything like we expected. The photos from online reviews all looked it'd come in an empanada shape, but it actually came in a large, flat, circular shape. They were all laying against one another in a slanted position, and it made all the oil pool in the bottom of the dish, and the pieces that were covered became very oily and soggy underneath. The parts of the dough that weren't soggy were wonderfully crispy and delicious though. It'd make a significantly better difference if the Huuchuur were placed spread out from each other instead of lying on top of each other to maintain the crispiness on all surfaces. The beef filling was nicely seasoned and well flavored. The Beef Buzz had essentially the same filling as the Huuchuur, but different exterior. Unfortunately, I still have the same opinions of it being way too oily overall. The non-fried pieces sometimes broke apart at the bottom due to the sogginess. The fried version did not have a crispy texture at the bottom either, I'm guessing due to the excess amount of oil on the dish. Again, the flavors were great, but execution and presentation definitely has room for improvement. In summary, this was a great introduction to Mongolian dumplings for me. Very delicious flavors, and I'd love to try Huuchuurs again in the future because I love crispy fried foods with a good texture. However, I'd probably look for a place that goes way more easy on the oil.
