    Thai Dumpling (7 Pieces)
    Flower M.

    the food here is pretty good! I tried the Thai dumplings, pork fried rice, and chicken pad see ew. the pork fried rice was my favorite! the inside of the restaurant is clean and quaint. the service leaves a little to be desired, but not bad. i would come here again to try different dishes!

    Chicken Larb and House Drunken Noodles both were good to-go orders. Spice level 1-5. Disappointed that it was too late to order the Chicken Satay.

    This is a small quaint Thai restaurant in southeast Visalia tucked away in Mary's Vineyard plaza around the corner from Little Caesar's pizza. The staff is always friendly and attentive whether dining in or grabbing to-go. The prices continue to be reasonable with lunch specials at $13 and $2 more for beef or shrimp. The soups are great and perfect for thwarting off the sniffles. Their Thai tea is spiced beautifully with gorgeous orange red color and so flavorful it's gone before you know it. During the work week it gets very busy during lunch. They now close at 2:30 instead of 3:00 for lunch but will have your order ready if you call in by 2:10. The lunch portions are very generous and can be shared or saved for leftovers. Small parking lot next to restaurant but generally can find parking there or nearby. Good tasty authentic Thai food cooked for you by locals. What's not to like about that?

    Good food, good service. Only one server. She was busy. Not only with customers dining in but also take out orders. But she kept a good attitude and a smile on her face. Great prices on the menu.

    Excellent Thai food! It was a bit hard to find because it is located in the Visalia brewing bar…read more Just keep going past the bar and it is a window where you order. The two people working there were so nice and helpful. Food took a while but please be patient, it is so worth it. We got the pad see ew, pad Thai, and Laos papaya salad. So so delicious! I could not stop eating the papaya salad even though it was way too spicy for me. The pad see ew is one of the best I have ever had. The noodles were perfectly chewy and soft with a great flavor from the wok. I am so sad I'm just visiting because this would've definitely been my regular Thai place.

    It took me a minute to realize this spot is actually located inside Visalia Brewing Company.

Everything appears to be made fresh to order, so it took a little while for my meal to come out -- but the wait was definitely worth it. The Pad Thai was delicious, with the perfect balance of sweetness and salt. A squeeze of lime added a nice zest, though honestly, it was flavorful enough on its own. The Thai iced tea was a bit light on milk for my taste, but still enjoyable. Since it's inside VBC, you can grab a beer while you wait -- which would've been nice -- but I was on my lunch break and had to head back to work. Downtown Visalia only has street parking, so finding a spot can be a bit challenging. Overall, a solid lunch spot, especially if you're not in a rush.

    This pho spot is delicious!!! Trust me!!! I have been going here since high school. So since 2009…read morebut stopped coming in 2013 because I moved. But I can't stop thinking about the calamari!!! The calamari is the star of the show. It is delicious and a must-try. I went back here and so much has changed!!! The menu has expanded and that is amazing. I always get the shrimp and rice. Sometimes I get fried rice or steamed rice and it has amazing, tasty tempura batter of the calamari. I do recommend getting two plates of calamari!!! It is super addicting. My family and I can't stop eating it because it is that good. Service is amazing!!! I remember it is a family-owned business. My family and I used to remember the owners back when I lived in Lemoore. They are very nice people and will bring you great service and amazing food. Btw it is always packed!!! Parking is also difficult!!! It is in front of a park and it is in an okay place but worth it to go. The ambiance is the same as I remembered. It is big. Before, it was a small shop and hopefully, they expand. I low-key wish there was one in North Cal because my family and I miss the calamari. But it is still nice to visit here and see how this small business became a huge
