    Thai iced coffee
    Ed D.

    Quaint little Thai restaurant but there's actually a decent amount of seating inside and the outside patio. Seems to be a family business so I'm glad I could support. The cashier/waitress had her cute daughter and grandma sitting while she worked. I got a Thai iced coffee which was good. For dinner, I got the chicken pad see eew which came out super fast within minutes but was so fresh and yummy. It was mixed with American and Chinese broccoli. It was a big portion so I really couldn't finish it. Prices were very reasonable. Great find for Thai food near my hotel.

    Really wanted to try the Tom Yum Omurice but they were sold out. Still had a great meal! Fried chicken on fried rice, the chicken was moist with a crispy crust. Great flavors! Loved the Thai iced coffee

    New management, same name. The new owner rushed back from Bangkok for the opening of the restaurant in mid-Sept. I have been back a couple of times and really enjoyed the food. There were some issues at soft opening but is to be expected. I haven't seen it yet but owner was planning on opening for breakfast soon, if not already. Tried the Pad See Ew, Pad Krapow, and a green curry. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I like that there is outdoor seating to enjoy the nice Peninsula weather. Hope this place sticks around because it's really good.

    Small, cozy place with nice fresh lighting and a really open layout. They have an open kitchen which is always cool you can watch them making your food right there. Came with a group of 10 and they were able to accommodate us no problem, which is always appreciated for larger parties. We ordered the creamy tom yum goong with Thai omelet, Thai grilled pork skewers, crispy golden fish, and pad kee mao. The food was decent overall. The standout for me was the tom yum flavor with the omelet that combination was very yummy and something a little different. The portions were solid for what you're paying, and everything came out fresh. For a spot that can handle a big group, serve up good Thai food, and keep the vibe relaxed and comfortable, the value is there. It's not trying to be fancy, just quality Thai dishes done well in a nice atmosphere. Would definitely come back, especially if I'm with a group and need a spot that can accommodate without sacrificing the quality of the food or experience

    Pad See Eiw

    Came on a weekend for lunch right at opening. No wait. Plenty of parking in the lot. The owners are also from Thailand! They have a cute little patio space with heaters. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. We ordered the lunch special which is a decent deal where you get a small portion of an appetizer, noodles, and Thai tea. Definitely recommend it if you are getting Thai tea. Pad Thai 5/5 Super flavorful and delicious. Some of the best pad thai I've had in the peninsula! Pad see ew 4/5 Also delicious and decent wok flavor. But not the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this place for Thai on the peninsula. I'm definitely coming back for the pad thai!

    Shrimp tom yung goong omurice
    Nicholas W.

    I came here on a weekday morning at 9am. I ordered the Tom yum goong omurice. I didn't know what omurice is so I was excited to try something new. It was your basic Thai flavors as the name suggests, not far off from a red curry, with rice, scrambled eggs, and some other things of which there could have been more. Nothing that knocked my socks off but I think they earn 5 stars by being an ethnic restaurant open for breakfast. Hard to get anything this flavorful before 11am, and I've always wanted to have these kind of options available at breakfast time, or maybe some other ethnic food I've never heard of.

    This restaurant has has its own parking lot. They have indoor and outdoor dining. We walked up to the counter to place and pay for our order. We ordered the Thai Iced Tea, Chicken Pad Thai, Gai Yang, and Larb Pork Salad. Our food came out in a timely manner. The cashier brought the food to our table. The Thai Iced Tea had the perfect amount of sweetness to it. We can taste sweetness and sourness of the tamarind in the Pad Thai sauce. The dressing for the pork larb salad was very tart. They put too much lime juice. The chicken in the Gai Yang was tender, but there was nothing really special about it.

    Spoon and Fork in Belmont is officially my new brunch obsession. This spot blends Thai flavors with classic brunch comfort, and every dish was a hit. Ordered the S&F Chickoissant (crispy chicken + buttery croissant = perfection), the Creamy Tom Yum Goong Omurice (silky omelet in a rich, tangy tom yum sauce -- SO good), the refreshing Avo Caprese, and the Thai Banoffee French Toast, which is basically dessert heaven. Plates come out beautifully presented, flavors are bold but balanced, and the space is bright, modern, and super photogenic. Service was warm and attentive, too. If you're looking for a unique breakfast/brunch in the Bay, this place deserves a spot on your list. I'll absolutely be back!

    Lovely breakfast spot! The avo carese with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes was so fresh and delicious Monkey Morning pancakes topped with bananas and berries were perfectly Yummy. Sunrise Tom yum scramble Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better. The staffs are very nice and good service A refreshing, feel-good start to the day!

    Kaycee C.

    Pleasantly surprised by this place. My husband and I tried the basil beef and chicken pad Thai and both dishes were amazing, we'll be back to try more items next time we are in the area. The service here is also very friendly and the food was ready so quickly, but it was hot and fresh.

    Vegi omelet
    Murray F.

    The food was incredible. It looked good and the flavors were wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is a bit plane. Plenty of outside seating. Service was pleasant and friendly but soso.i would definitely eat here again.

    Special menu: We got the Stir fried crispy pork belly over rice which was a harmonious flavor. Rice was hard, though.
    Saemlinh I.

    Pro: Food was great. But... Con: The rice had hard parts. We also did not get plasticware with our food, which our hotel was able to assist with. Special menu: We got the Stir fried crispy pork belly over rice which was a harmonious flavor. Rice was hard, though. Pad See Eiw with beef. And they have a lot of meat. 4 out of 5. They have lots of seating and the hostess was very nice.

    Yummy!!

I would come back if I'm in the area, maybe to try some of the other dumpling flavors.

Noodles are hand pulled and made directly in front of you through a glass window where you can view your noodles being made. You can select from a variety of noodle textures and sizes. The noodle dishes are separated between soup and dry noodle versions. For the soups, recommend the Lanzhou hand pulled noodles soup or sichuan braised beef stew noodle soup. For the dry noodle, our favorite is the chilli oil noodles with wide noodles. For appetizers, the spicy wonton is really good. Their spicy sauce has just the right amount of kick and is mildly sweet. While they also serve dumplings, I kind of feel there are dumplings are just average --- stick with the noodles!

But their signature spicy beef has a very unique and addictive quality to it. Be forewarned - the chili oil the beef is bathed in is no laughing matter. We used to get warnings for the works to spoon in the chili oil a little at a time as it is a slow but powerful burn. But that's not what has be coming back. The main draw for me here is the blackened stinky tofu. They accompany this pungent snack with fresh cilantro. Peanuts and a sauce that match it so well.

Order through the phone and for any toppings, you can get up and help yourself. Overall. This is probably one of my favorite noodle dishes when in the mood for something spicy or something quick.
