Pineapple fried rice  Beef pho  Spring rolls Spicy curry
Savanna Dupart

Loved, loved, loved this spot! All of our food was so fresh and yummy, ESPECIALLY the egg rolls I still dream about them to this day. The service was fast and they were so kind! We had a group and it was our first time and they did a wonderful job showing us all around the menu and things we'd like! The ambiance is so cool and calming with lots of religious things representing Thai culture as well as lovely paintings. The only issue I had with this place was the hours because I wish I could come whenever!

Food was really tasty and fresh Hot and the service was great. The spices were on I recommend this place. My Waitress Sage was amazing! I will come back

yellow curry with chicken and rice
Noelle K.

I've only had their yellow curry with chicken, but it is simply the best. Has everything you want without a bunch of frills. Mild and medium heats are delicious, and I'm sure the hot is too!Togo portion is huge, including a full side of rice, and I can have it for two days. I always order it when I have a cold, and it heals me of all of my ailments. The employees are always super nice and I've never had an issue with my order. 10/10

Pad kee mao???? So bland
Ginny A.

Blah....I ordered drunken noodles at lunch. So so bland. The Thai tea was good. To bad, so close to campus but so far from authentic Thai flavor

Chicken Pad Thai. Husband and I split every plate.

Hands down the best Thai food in Chico. The other places do not compare. Portions are smaller than other Thai restaurants, but the flavors are so much better than the other Thai restaurants.

Really great Thai food! Our server was a complete sweetheart. Food came out hot and the vegetables were done to perfection! Will be back!!

Spring roll. They were ok.

Staff are very friendly, comfortable dining area, what we had was delicious Their menu has changed. Not as many options as the menu on older reviews show. Lunch menu comes with rice and a egg roll. Option for the level of heat on your food, mild medium spicy. Not large portions but it was enough. We left satisfied. Yellow curry was delicious! Pad Thai Yellow Curry

Unfortunately come to realize the portion sizes are terribly small. The mango sticky rice is literally one slice of mango that's been cut up into several small tiny pieces and a few bites of rice for $10. The fried rice, dinner entree size, that I had tonight was so small I was able to easily finish it on my own in one sitting. I seem to remember this place was better when I first came here, maybe it was just my imagination or maybe change in ownership?

They have raised their prices too much, and the food is no longer the taste it use to be before the pandemic.

Welcome to Willows Red 88 Fantastic Cadillac margaritas …read more Great way to start. I had the chicken pad tie with tofu. Really tasty dish. Chicken pot stickers were also good and quite a large amount.looking forward to my next visit. Thank you

Visited August 2nd..see receipt…read more Before checking out Walmart in Willows for some candles I thought I would try this place. It has an Asian fusion menu with some interesting choices. I ordered the burger with avocado and bacon that came with waffle fries along with the chicken satay appetizer. The burger was cooked nicely and it tasted good. I had them cook the bacon alittle more since I like it alittle crispy. Bun was not warm but still tasted fresh. The chicken satay is always my "go to" at some of my favorite Thai restaurants. The peanut sauce is always included in the meal. The chicken was cooked nicely and was very tasty. I was shocked to see on my bill that they charged me an extra 2.50 for the peanut sauce that is supposed to be included in the price. Thus not 5 stars. The owner offered to refund me the 2.50 ( i declined) but I think it's important to have full transparency on what you are assuming is included per the menu description. The wait staff ( including the bartender) were very pleasant and professional. The inside is clean and bathroom was spotless. They have a full bar and have regular seating and bar seating. They also have happy hour on certain days. I would probably eat here again in the future if I am driving through on highway 5.

I reeeeeally wanted to like this place and after many attempts to eat here (and finding them…read moreclosed), I FINALLY discovered them open during the Downtown Christmas Preview. I was beyond excited to try the spicy katsu chicken sando (I literally attempted eating here for 2 months but kept missing their open hours. They are VERY limited). The pricing I was charged was a bit more than what was on their menu, which I hadn't noticed until after the fact. :-/ When the sandwich arrived it was not at all what expected. I looked up the sandwich months ago and it appeared to be a juicy chicken breast between sliced cabbage on thick, fluffy bread. What I got was some beat up, flattened GREEEEEEASY gummy chicken that wasn't the least bit appetizing. It reminded me of frog legs and I was pretty much grossed out after the 2nd bite. The bread was exactly the same as Astesano Bakery Bread and didn't seem "home made" as their menu states. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't (home made) but it sure seemed like the same bread I buy at Safeway. Needless to say I was BEYOND bummed out. I guess that's partially my fault though, I mean... I saw a picture they used to have posted on their menu (it's no longer there) and had expectations that it was going to be exactly the same, which it most certainly was NOT. If I could sum it up in 2 words: Gummy & Greasy. Yuck. The best part was the cabbage so, that's what I ate and ditched the rest of the "sandwich" to the trash. So yeah, $13 + tip for some cabbage. Awesome. With that said, I don't recommend this place for the Sando's but! I may return for the egg rolls. They look good in the pictures however since I got 100% duped this time around, I think I'll ask if anybody I personally know has tried the egg rolls first before I spend any more money here. I do like their outdoor dining and if they could move the ginormous trash bins away from the outside dining tables it would be a great place to dine (who wants to eat next to trash cans??) I'll end on a positive note and say, I did like that they have an option of indoor or outdoor dining, if they move the trash cans, that would be my preferred place to eat.

Such a lovely and unique spot that adds to the fun of downtown Chico. I just poked my head in to…read morecheck it out today and was totally charmed - it's not Japanese, but the menu items, instant ramen bar and awesome selection of Asian soft drinks and canned cocktails remind me of the convenience stores in Japan that I miss so much. Today I just tried the Hmong sausage and Thai tea. The lady working was sweet and let me sample the tea to test its sweetness. I think it's spot-on. The sausage is perfectly juicy, spicy and savory. It's rich, flavorful, and reminds me of the holidays.
