    Rad Nah with Shrimp
    Krobkal P.

    Love that this place was open for Veteran's Day. The staff is always kind and attentive. It's nice and quiet and the food does have authentic flavors and ingredients. I am Thai and not all Thai restaurants use Chinese broccoli, but this one does! That's why I often order the Rad Nah for this reason. Even my mom likes coming here (grew up in Thailand, super particular). My husband also loves the curries here!

    The best Thai food I have ever had! I got to try so many new dishes, and I loved it! The inside of the restaurant has plenty of open walkway space because tables are placed near the walls. It is surprisingly bigger inside than I thought with a good amount of seating. Customer service was great, and food came out fast. Our server reread the orders to make sure everything is correct because they have a policy that does not allow remakes or refunds on incorrect orders. A waiter also came by a few times to refill our waters. The food portions are pretty generous and everything is so flavorful and delicious! I got a small Thai boat noodle combination, and it was just the right amount because I was stuffed after finishing it and eating some of the appetizers. The broth is unique and amazing. I saved my leftover soup to make more noodles the next day. The beef larb and papaya salad had the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The chicken noodle was a little oily, but still very yummy! I am already planning my next visit because I want to try their khao poon.

    Drunken noodles with chicken
    Linda S.

    Excellent food, authentic flavors & good portions! Drunken noodles had a good charred flavor (wok hey)

    Papaya salad
    Farm S.

    Order the papaya salad medium spicy, chicken laab, whole deep fried tilapia, pad Thai and a side of sticky rice. The food was amazing , the place is quiet and family friendly. My favorite was the deep fried tilapia with their chili sauce, it hit the spot . Their pad Thai noodles was a bit saucy but it was flavorful. Every thing was excellent

    Pad thai, boat noodles & pad see ew
    Easter Y.

    Good portions, good prices. We got boat noodles, pad see ew & pad thai. Everything was great! Boat noodles needed just a little more and the chili flakes provided helped it a lot. Pad see ew was perfect, usually people make it too sweet but it was a good balance. Chicken in both noodle dishes were tender. Pad thai was saucy and exactly how i like it. Quiet place, refilled your water a lot. Would come back again!

    Minimal parking. Lots of indoor dining. Could definitely use an update. Everything looks a bit run down. Service was decent. The boat noodles was pretty good (tip: get the large, the small is more of a child size than anything). The pad thai is made fresh to order. Definitely one of the better items here. I would not recommend the pineapple fried rice. The rice was a bit bland and the toppings was too bulky. This was not my first time here and won't be my last.

    My favorite place for especially Lao Sytle Papaya. Favorite mom and pop restaurant when I come visit my mom.

    Fishcake appetizer
    Lynn H.

    This place feels pretty authentic! The etched wood is really nice and there are a lot of Thai pictures and decor inside. I did enjoy the boat noodles but I feel like it didn't really taste like boat noodles. Tasted more like pho. The spice level here is definitely on the higher side, so if you are not great on the spice, you might not want to get a high level of spice. The pad se ew I got was good - I really liked the Chinese broccoli in this. I think the fish cake app was good, but it was just fried fish cakes and nothing to write home about. I might try some other stuff from here in the future.

    Spice rack
    Stephanie L.

    If you want authentic Thai food, this is your spot. It's a hole in the wall with a tiny parking lot, so I can see why this would be a popular take out spot. The inside isn't really appealing, but the food is where they shine. If your food isn't spicy enough, they do offer a spice rack as well with different pickled thai chilis, jalapenos, dry chili, etc. You know a Thai/Lao spot is legit when they even have sugar on the table lol IYKYK. Their spice levels are Thai spicy so if you're normally a medium somewhere else, make sure you go one level down. Thai boat noodle here comes in two sizes, but get a large unless you're weak haha It comes with all the good stuff in the combination version but if you don't like tripe and tendon (like me) there is an option for just meat or meatballs. The broth is so deep, rich and flavorful even without anything added. My parents loooove the thai boat noodle here, and will make it a point to stop here for lunch/dinner any time they're in the area. I hardly ever order crab rangoon but I was in the mood for something cheesy this day. This was a solid choice because their version is pretty dang good. There is hardly any green onion or crab, it's really all cream cheese, but it's sweet and creamy and really yummy with the sweet dipping sauce they provided on the side. I would get this again. My sister and I decided to share the drunken noodles and the Pad Prik King with chicken. We decided on medium spicy for both but lemme tell you... this would be considered hot or Thai hot in other Thai restos. It was so damn spicy but it hurt so good! The rice noodles they use are sooo thick and silky, and they were so generous with all the meat, veggies and noodles. The pad prik king is basically a green bean stir fry. The green beans in this were nice and crunchy but the chicken was a bit dry. Entrees do not come with rice so make sure you order a side of rice to go with this. Portion sizes are large and great for sharing! Thai tea was creamy and sweet, and perfect to wash down all the spice we were inhaling. Never a bad choice if you want something other than water. This isn't a place to bring your first date, but it's a low key hidden gem.

    Small boat noodle
    Annie X.

    Haven't been here in so many years since whoever owned it the last time. Gave it another try and the food was pretty good. We are always on a hunt for the best boat noodles here in Sac. So far this place isnt bad at all for it.

    Papaya salad 6 peppers -Lao Style
    Monica L.

    This place is located on florin and is the BEST place to get boat noodles made the authentic way! The entire party got an order of boat noodle because that's how great it is (along with some other things of course). I love to highlight the best dishes in places, but the food we ordered was spot on. The fried chicken isn't very seasoned because it pairs well with other side items like papaya that has plenty of flavor (eating Lao/Thai 101). The papaya was made lao style and had just enough padaek in it. You can never go wrong with luch sin (meatballs) either. The fish cake was equally good, and the sauce really made it pop! Despite it being in a somewhat sketch neighborhood, it is so worth the trip. The service is quick and the food comes out fresh and delicious

    Pad see ew
    Mario B.

    Great Thai food at a reasonable price. I've been coming for years, since before the recent ownership change and food is flavorful. Portions are generous and options are limitless. My usual is the Pad see ew, but I've also had the boat noodle (on point btw), beef larb, and drunken noodle. Their pad Thai is obviously a solid choice as well. Service is friendly, fast, and welcoming. Would totally recommend for lunch.

My friend got a seafood boil. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes, which was surprisingly fast. I cut into my steak right away to check the temp, it was extremely rare. Cut into a different part of steak just to make sure, also rare. When I showed our server she agreed it was rare and took it back to the kitchen. She comes back after talking to the kitchen and tells me the cook said its not rare, its just the marinade that makes it look dark. I'm like, "huh?" Cause that made no sense to me. Still they cooked the same steak another 5-7 minutes before bringing it back. Now it was a perfect medium. It was obvious they just threw the same steak back on the grill, the 2 cuts i made were still visible. All was good till our server came back to check on us, she asked how the steak came out, when I said it was perfect, she continues to insist it was medium well when I sent it back based on what the kitchen told her, several times she made excuses and would not once admit or own up to the mistake despite me showing her the cut piece of steak on my plate. I get it, most of the food here is seafood that's boiled in a plastic bag, but if you're gonna sell a 45$ steak on the menu, at least train your staff properly.

The Cajun style seafood boils are consistent, messy in a fun way, and generally satisfying, which is a big part of why this place stays so busy. It's definitely a great spot for groups. The whole setup with the bags of seafood, sauces, and sides makes it interactive and social, and it works well when you've got a table full of people sharing everything. That said, the experience can be a bit uneven. The service is something I've always questioned. It's not always poor, but it's very inconsistent. Some visits feel smooth and attentive, others feel a bit off, especially considering how busy they usually are. Food wise, I've always had a good meal here. Nothing has ever been bad, but it also doesn't really stand out beyond what you'd expect from this style of place. It delivers on the concept without really going beyond it. Overall, it's a reliable option if you're craving a seafood boil or going out with a group, and I understand why it's popular. For me, it lands right in that average category.

It was a bummer when they told us they didn't make ox tail or bum rieu today. Instead we ordered beef tartare, beef pho and shaken beef with rice. The beef tartare was this sliced raw beef with onion, herbs and lime which made the dish rich and savory. The pho was mediocre and same goes for the shaken beef, but both dishes were still tasty enough. During our time there, the server did not check on us or refill our water. If I'm craving for seafood, maybe I'll come back to try their seafood options.
