I been coming to Thai Canteen for a few months now for lunch, typically on Fridays or a random Tuesday! Located in downtown Davis, you are greeted right away and order at the counter, pick a number and then go make yourself comfortable at any open seat! They have ice cold water you can fill yourself in these stainless steel cups and don't forget to grab the legit fire spice rack! I always get pad ga prow chicken with steam rice and a side of Thai style fried eggs! Can never go wrong or their drunken noods with extra noods and extra chicken! And make it even more better adding the Thai red chili on top!! Their Thai Tea is yummy! I normally get that on my way out for my dessert! The people who work and run this eatery are not only very nice but work hard and do an amazing job cooking lots of orders in immaculate timing! Food comes out piping out every time! Ambience is very chill, lots of people like me on their lunch break, students on lunch etc Please come by!!
Thai Canteen was my go-to spot during my college days in Davis. Lunch, dinner, late-night -- Thai Canteen always had me covered. My usual order at any Thai restaurant is pad thai or pad see ew, and they nailed it every time. The portions are huge and the prices are excellent and they definitely don't skimp. The vibe is very much a casual cantina: metal chairs, wooden tables, and an olive-green color palette throughout the interior. It feels lively and relaxed, perfect for a quick meal with friends between classes. - Pad Thai -- classic chicken pad thai topped with chopped peanuts and lime for extra zest; huge portion with a great balance of sweet and savory flavors; they also go pretty hard on the Thai spice if you ask for it - Thai Iced Tea -- cool, refreshing, and not overly sweet, with that classic amber color topped with condensed milk Service is always friendly and welcoming. The place can get pretty bustling, especially during weekend lunches, but that's part of the classic college-town cantina atmosphere. We were usually able to find a table, though you might have to wait a bit during peak hours since Thai Canteen is a must-try spot in downtown Davis!
Our favorite Thai place in Dixon is closed for 2 weeks as they visit family, so we ventured into Davis for Thai food. Thai Canteen was right there when we parked so we decided to try it out. It is super cute inside with quite a bit of seating. We ordered at the counter and chose chicken Pad Thai. She asked us about our spice level choice and we both chose medium. Once the food came out, we realized it might have been the wrong choice!! It was definitely too spicy for the both of us. We suffered through it and decided to bring it home to finish it instead. Everyone was super nice! We asked for an additional plate of bean sprouts thinking it might help with the spiciness. Ultimately, we got boxes for what we had left and got up to leave. The food was super yummy, but next time we will get it mild!! Eating at home I'll mix it up with some rice to take down the heat! We will be back for sure!!
well first this is a top-notch place to go while you charge your EV at the EVGO which is right over by the Arboretum just about three minute walk away. They have both level two and level three chargers there. Next if you have your fuzzbutt with you you can sit on the patio oit front that has a dog bowl for water and plenty of shaded seating. water is self-serve so you can go get a cup of water and fill up the water bowl that's outside for your little schnoogins. I came here because Chatty-G. The notorious G.P.T., told me i should according to this artificial intelligence it was one of the best options for vegan food in town! Thai cuisine is my favorite so this was an easy choice. My Pad Kee Mao, a.k.a. drunken noodles came out very fast and the tofu was perfectly braised. I think I would've ordered it a bit spicier but I told them to go mild since they had ample condiments that fulfilled my capsaicin requirements. Note to vegans: the condiments are not all vegetarian exactly. There is one that has little sliced red peppers in it that has a fish base. All the other ones are animal free. For instance the green peppers are jalapeños and they're just in a vinegar brine. I do wish they would label the ones that have fish sauce in them, which is probably my only complaint. Anyway, The interior looked comfortable as well. you can actually order inside and they'll deliver to you wherever you may be if you've got the number on your table. That is all the information that you require.
Love stopping by Thai Canteen when i'm in the Davis area for some good Thai food. My go to for some Pad Thai. And service is always friendly (Thank you)! I usually get more, but today i was by myself. And unfortunately can't stuff myself. I will definitely be back for more with the family! See ya later. 2/21/26 :)
My favorite Thai restaurant when I was a college student at Davis! Came to visit as an alumni and it's just the same as i remembered. I came on a Saturday with some friends around 8pm and it wasn't that busy and lots of seating was open. You order first and then you can find anywhere open to sit. - Pad kee mao (drunken noodles) : The exact same when I had it a few years ago. We got it with beef and the noodles are cooked well. There is a spicy kick to it which I love. However, I noticed they barely gave us any meat. - Pad kra pow : This rice dish was so good and the sauce is amazing!!! We got this with chicken and it was cooked well and packed with sm flavor! I highly recommend getting this rice dish. - Thai tea: Standard Thai tea. No complaints. They have extra sauces and chili flakes you can use. Normal ambiance inside the restaurant. You can see the chefs in the back because there is a clear window. Can't wait to come back here again some day.
Every college town needs a local low key Thai place for hungry students to gather. I got my classic pad see ew with tofu (egg ok) and Thai iced tea. It hit the spot until i decided i wanted a little bit more spice and sprinkled some of the crushed red chili in the jars on the table over my dish. Little did I know that these were Thai chili, not American red chili flakes. The result was too spicy for my medium-low white girl spice level and I spent the rest of the time chugging my creamy Thai iced tea. Stay the sprinkle of the chili else risk a tongue on fire. Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - limited street parking nearby but I think there was a paid public garage around the corner - order at the counter
Nice dinner here while visiting family! Casual vibes, you order at the counter. Menu is on wall and helpful that they have printed menus as well. Loved their beer selection! We had the Thai beer. Delicious chicken pad Thai and Ben had a chicken yellow curry. The dumplings we had (gyoza style) were great! Good leftovers the next day. Friendly service. Great location in downtown Davis.
Still one of our favorite Thai restaurants of all time! The duck fried rice is a dish I'll never be able to skip here and it was delicious as always. My boyfriend got the drunken noodles with beef this time (hot level spicy again) and said the beef was much more dry and chewy than pork/chicken- so something to note! We shared a hot ginger tea and I am still thinking about it. I've never had a cloudy, spicy gingery, yet sweet tea like this before. Such a great meal that we'll continue to order again and again. 5 stars!
Great authentic Thai spot in town. We did takeout and I have to give them a shoutout for their service. I brought my own glass Tupperware because I prefer not to put hot soups/ curries in plastic containers. They were nice and accommodating about it, which I appreciated! Heres what we ordered: * Tom Yum: This was the highlight! It had that perfect, classic balance of spicy & sour notes with aromatic herbs. They were very generous with the protein, too. Be warned: the spice is definitely up there! I had to accompany this with lots of water, but I really enjoyed the kick. * Red Curry: A really solid curry with bamboo shoots, bell peppers & basil. The broth wasn't too heavy or creamy, but it was packed with spices and flavor. The beef was tender, and the bamboo/peppers added a nice freshness. * Pad See Ew: I loved the chewy texture of the noodles and the fact that they use white meat chicken. However, it was slightly too greasy for my taste and lacked a little bit of flavor compared to the other dishes. * Mango Sticky Rice: Visually, looks cool because the sticky rice is blue! It was yummy, though I do wish they had the coconut cream topping that is usually drizzled on top. One note for improvement: They unfortunately forgot to pack my order of rice. I wish they had double checked the bag before handing it out, so just a heads up to check your order before you leave!
Thai Canteen is easily the number one Thai spot in Davis. A great spot for any occasion - casual lunch, dinner date, or large groups. Checkout their specials - if you see the Khao Soi on there, highly recommend. The noodles for the drunken noodles have great texture, the pad Thai is very good, the papaya salad is solid, and the wings are decent. The tamarind sauce that comes with the wings, I'd recommend saving that for later at home to dip in anything.
I ordered some take out after a long day and was excited to get some Thai food. Red curry was good, but they gave me the wrong item for dessert. When I got home, I was really looking forward to the sweet fried banana but am now stuck with some bland sesame balls.
Came here with a group one Friday night since it is one of the few restaurants that closes later. We were also drawn in by some deal where you order a dish and get a free Thai iced tea. What we got: chive pancake (2/5) -- I kind of thought this would be scallion pancake adjacent, but when it came out, I was surprised at how thick and greasy each cake was. The dough seemed to be made of rice/tapioca flour and was fried very crisp while the inside was mush because of the moisture between the chives and the cooked dough. It basically fell apart as I picked it up, lucky if it made it to the dipping sauce in one piece. The amount of chive was also overwhelming since it was bitter and tough to chew through without, again, having the entire cake fall apart. green curry (3.5/5) -- average green curry that I've tried at every other Thai restaurant khao pad gai tod (3.5/5) -- I tried just the fried rice and it was flavorful and light, but also on the much sweeter side gkuay tiow reur (3/5) -- this reminded me a lot of pho with both the meat and the broth flavor. The broth and noodles were nice, but the meat was very tough/dry I would give this place another chance given the ease of ordering, payment, and speed at which the food is ready. Portions are fair, service is average, and the ambiance is nice for hanging out.

My green curry fried rice (with chicken) was pretty delicious. Yes, I added peppers and some hot sauce to it, but it was good. Maybe next time I'll see if THEY can 'kick it up a notch.' Calamari was fried and just OK. Came with a sweet sauce which took me a bit to get used to. Pad thai is reliably tasty. The place felt a bit industrial inside (cement flooring, etc.), so I took my number and sat out in the "parklet." It felt like I was dining in a parking space. Because I was. They did bring my food out to my parking space though! I think the group in front of me in line was trying to combine orders because the first person brought only a credit card and needed to hit the $10 threshold. Cash is just too darn old school for some people. read more
I love that this place opens late but wow they are SO SLOW! Food always takes minimum half an hour to an hour to come out. I've waiting an hour with only 2 other tables taken. I've also had better Thai food but I definitely like the food here, especially as a late night snack! Still manage to find myself coming back for their Penang curry! Yum. read more

I've been a fan of this place ever since I came to Davis 5 years ago. It's my go-to place for Thai food that doesn't break the bank. My go-to is the Pork Pad Si Ew. I love the sweet/sour flavor of the noodles and I will never tire of it. I do feel that the pork is a bit dry/tough though. I also really like Kao Nar Bpet if I want something with rice. It's grilled duck in a super delicious honey sauce that also comes with veggies on the side. But let's face it: any time I want Thai food, I'm always craving pad si ew. In terms of appetizers, I used to be OBSESSED with their fried corn fritters and their spring rolls. If my stomach were the same size as it was my freshman year of college, I'd definitely order one of those on top of my noodles. But alas, I get stuffed just off the noodles now so it's been a long time since I've had those. But from what I remember, they were delicious. There are some cons to Thai Canteen. First off, if you come during a really busy time, finding a table can be hard. You have to order first before trying to cop one. Also, the line can get reallyyyyyy long. They have two registers but only ever use one. That always confused me... they use it for call-in orders which I guess makes sense, but if you see you have a really long line why not use both to make it go faster?? The food also takes a while to come out, in my opinion; even when it's not that crowded. Just keep that in mind; definitely wouldn't recommend coming here if you're already starving. Parking is terrible, too. Be prepared to circle around for at least 5 minutes (unless you get super lucky). read more

I've came here so many more times from my first review, I can't believe I've never had an update! This place quickly became one of my go-to restaurants in Davis. I've adapted to liking that the noodles were very saucy (there's a lot of sauce); it's full of flavor! And not to mention the $1 Thai tea during their happy hours! Can't go wrong with fresh Thai tea for just a buck. I just love coming here whenever I'm craving for some Thai food. The ambiance is great, the portion of the food is satisfying (they give more than I can eat, which is a good thing!), and the seating is spacious. The only reason, the ONLY reason why I'm robbing this review of a star is the staff (or the cashier; that's the only person you really have to interact with). Now, I'm not saying that they're not doing their job properly, I'm just saying that they could maybe be a little friendlier, ya know smile when you greet the customer! Just...a...friendly...smile... read more
Thai Canteen hits the spot when you're looking to satisfy a quick fix, though it does take awhile for them to prepare your food. You walk in, place your order at the register, and they will deliver to your table if you are dining in. There is a $10 minimum to use your debit or credit card. Out of all the dishes I've tried, I would recommend the Pad Kee Mao, Pad Thai, and the duck with rice. The Thai iced tea is also good, though I always ask for them to make it less sweet. Some may complain the food isn't authentic, but for the price and the large portion sizes, my tummy is always satisfied. read more

Visiting Davis pretty much always includes a trip to Thai Canteen for my family! My sister loved this place and has taken us here consistently while she was attending UCD. I love their pad kee mao, pad see ew, and the red curry is really yummy too! The sweet and sour is a unique dish that I think Thai Canteen does exceptionally well. Their sauce is the perfect combination of tangy + spice! read more

Best thing I ever had.. Wonton soup and rice with pork belly and Chinese broccoli. omg each bite was delicious and I kept saying that each time too and I am a picky eater. Need to come back here asap... read more
Thai Canteen is a great place to go for an affordable meal in Davis. They serve delicious Thai dishes that are unique and tasty. It's a popular place for many to go, and you'll often find yourself waiting in a line to get your order in during prime meal times. But that's just a testament to how much people enjoy coming here! The menu includes appetizers, rice dishes, and noodle dishes. My main go-to dish at Thai Canteen is the pork belly with Chinese broccoli. The pork belly is extremely tasty, and the Chinese broccoli compliments it well. To me, it's the perfectly balanced dish with both meat and vegetable. My only complaint about this dish is that sometimes they don't have it because they run out of pork belly. It's disappointing when you go to a restaurant and they don't have certain menu items... and that's why I docked a star off of Thai Canteen. They are great, but sometimes they will not have the thing you want to eat. The Thai iced-teas come in little mason jars, which is a cute touch. Thai iced tea is delicious, but be warned... the stuff will keep you wide awake a night... so beware when ordering it! I'll only get Thai iced tea for lunch or maybe in the early evening - if I'm feeling lucky. My wife pulls all-nighters pretty often, and this is the drink she gets if she has to stay awake. The atmosphere of Thai Canteen is modern and trendy. You can chose to sit indoors, or you can go out to a patio area to enjoy your meal. Both are enjoyable experiences. If you're in Davis and want to get some good food at a good price, I'd definitely recommend Thai Canteen. It's unique little place that will hit the spot! read more
Tried out Thai Canteen in Downtown Davis. B. did a search on Yelp to find it in his old college town. Found street parking right away when someone was leaving, that was good. Order at the Bar area, pay, get a number, and the food will be brought to your table. Place is Too Loud - didn't like that. Help yourself to glasses and water. They don't have forks/napkins on the table - they should make that available! Thai iced tea $2.5 - tasted ok, nothing special. B. got a Tiger beer - he liked it. Green curry fried rice w/ calamari - he really liked it, I thought it was ok. Tom ka ga soup - individual bowls, it's salty and chicken is overcooked, tasted ok. Pad see eww I got with extra Chinese broccoli and egg - tasted pretty good. Charge it over $10. Separate bathrooms available but need key by the Cashier. read more

The service for this place is great, and the food is quality. I always order the Pork Belly with Chinese Broccoli, and it never fails to disappoint my appetite. It's always great to order the meals here with their Thai milk tea as well. I love how they're open late for college students, because most restaurants are closed early at 9 or 10PM read more

Nomnomnom. I usually go here around 11 to 12ish for lunch. The rush doesn't seem to arrive until a little later. Pad Thai: safe bet. Hugehugehuge portion. Pad kee mao: good and flavorful, slightly greasy (but that's stir fry for you). Be careful of spice levels. Their 4 levels of spice vary by multiple degrees of magnitude! Mild is mild, medium is for people who can handle heat on a daily basis, spicy (I haven't tried but it is probably unfathomably flaming), and Thai spicy (don't even). Bottom line: know what you're getting yourself into when you order spicy food. :] Pad priew wan: sauteed tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, pineapple in Thai sweet and sour sauce and a side of rice. I forgot to order it medium (spice), but the waiter was attentively considerate and got our table one of the little spice wheels since they were all out at the time. Notes: Portions here are big enough for one dish to last 3 meals for a small Asian girl on a budget 3. (Each plate is ~6.95-7.95) Brown rice is an extra $1. Thai tea is very sweet, to the point that you "can feel the sugar coursing through" your veins. Not for the faint of heart. Ice cream (taro, green tea, mango) here is supposedly very good. read more

This Thai restaurant offers a modern, trendy look compared to other Thai restaurants in Davis college town. Service: You order first from the menu when entering and then seat yourself. If you are using a credit card, you need to order at least $10 worth. You get your own water, but you get served with the dishes you ordered when dining in. Tipping is optional. Food: Their food in terms of flavor is not top notch, but average. They need to put more flavor or some other spices to boost the taste in their food. Thai foods are made with a lot of flavor and their food does not add up to it. I like how they open late. They know who they are mainly catering to - college students who may be hungry from studying late and might just want to grab something close by to eat. read more
When I want Thai food in Davis, I usually turn to Thai Canteen. I've also recommended it to my friends who've come to visit. How it works here is you order at the counter, take a number and choose a table. I usually get their noodle dishes - pad Thai, pad kee mao, or pad si ew, all of which are yummy! I turn more to pad Thai or pad si ew tho, because I'm not much of a bell pepper person. I've also tried their green curry fried rice, which has a mild spicy kick to it, and their tom yum. Their Thai tea is good too! They have a section across their cash register that includes self serve water and spices. Their prices are very budget-friendly! Perfect for a college town. If you want to call take out but don't have their menu on hand, you can search it up online, which includes prices and a description of each food item. Food usually comes out quick and the servers are pretty prompt in taking away your dish, which is nice. In terms of ambiance, sometimes it gets very noisy here that I feel like I have to yell to the person across from me. This is in part because they turn their music up pretty loud so everyone tends to talk a little louder. But overall, I would come back again! read more

This was my first time here and must I say, I was impressed. We ordered Pad-thai and asked if they had the "egg-plant dish". To my surprise, they did not have it on the menu. The cashier was really good about letting me know that even tho it's not on the menu, they can make for me if i'd like. So yes, I ordered it!! My cousin & I sat for a bit and helped ourselves to some water. The food came out not too long after and it was delicious! I don't usually find spicy ground chili so I decided to put extra chili. To my surprise, these chili were no joke. They were my favorite! Food was a bit spicy but im glad a found a spicy Thai place for some delicious food. Would definitely recommend! read more

Such a bad service!! The waiter has serious issue with honesty problem, I made an order and called the restaurant at 1:47pm, the waiter told me the order is completed and ready to go, therefore he will not cancel the order for me. The delivery guy got there at 2pm then he said it is not ready and wait for another 10 minutes for the order. Food is ok, but I will just rated this restaurant only one star (0 star if I could) because the waiter was lying to me. read more

This place was located in Davis and we stopped by for lunch coming back to the Bay Area from snowboarding. It wasn't busy when we came here and it wasn't what I expected. You order, pay, and sit down. Their menu was large and had a lot of choices so it took awhile for me to decide. I finally ordered and got the Chicken Pad Thai ($7.25). My friends ordered the Kao Pad Kiow ($7.25) and the Kao Pad Poo ($8.95). We sat down and waited awhile for our food. The interior looked modern and clean. It also had a feel that you could be studying for class (I assume a lot of UC Davis students go here), but I don't know if they will let you. Our food came out at the same time. The Pad Thai was okay and the portion was enough for one person. I wasn't full when I finished, but I felt it was good for the price. My friends' dishes looked good and I would say it was a safe choice as with the Pad Thai. They had Thai Iced Tea here but I didn't order one. The staff here were nice and friendly. This was not a bad place for Thai food at an inexpensive price. read more
First time I came to this place I found by fluke by reading yelp reviews.. The reviews said that this is one of the best thai places in Davis California so I decided to stop in and try it with my hubs for the first time.. We went on a Sunday early afternoon for lunch.. Walked in cute very quaint place cutely decorated place.. And it's one of those places where the menu is behind the bar or pick a menu up and order from it and you place an order at the cash register and when the food is ready they will bring it to you.. We we're served by this awesome girl with killer hair, she was really really helpful and very informative about the food, really knew the food that they were serving there and knew how good the dishes are, knew how to help us and help us pick out a dish since it was our first time there.. We started with apps to start: crispy shrimp rolls and the crispy taro fried.. I also ordered a Thai iced tea (definitely recommend to try).. For our main hubs got praramrong song since he is such a huge peanut sauce type of guy and I got something basic that I knew, which was the pad Thai.. Everything came out in a good time, The servers were very attentive to us and they always stopped by to check up on us to make sure that we were happy and satisfied with everything there.. You know it's a really good place to eat at when the line is almost to the door from the cashier and the speed and pace of all the food is being banged out once in a timely manner.. Line clears and it just end up being full again.. Overall a super experience there considering it was a first time going to a new restaurant..Hubs is a awesome tipper and he gave the server $10 for a $36 meal but definitely worth it because they were so awesome.. Bottom line a must try place if you're ever in the town of Davis.. ^ | | First Time visit.. Add on: At this point we've been there several times and every time it's always great service with a smile, they're super friendly and the service doesn't change.. ℒove It!! P.S. They have a Second location in Sacramento and we can't wait to go there and give it a try.. read more
This place is my Davis go-to for cheap Thai food. Each entree is around $9, but there's no table service (as there is with most other Thai restaurants in Davis) so it's kind of like ordering at Chipotle or Pluto's or Jack's, a tip isn't required but they do bring your food to your table. I love noodle dishes, and I don't think you can go wrong with the Pad Thai or Pad Se Ew. Either dish can be ordered with chicken, beef, or pork. Shrimp is an additional fee. They are happy to make accommodations like no bean sprouts, or on our most recent trip, let us order a side of steamed veggies. It was a mix of carrots, cabbage, green beans, and broccoli; steamed but no seasoning. I think their flavors are your standard Thai tastes. If you get your order to-go, it comes in a reusable microwaveable container. They're fantastic! Also, a little tip if the weather's lovely, take your food over to the Davis Commons (the large grassy area by Mikuni), and enjoy a little picnic! Only downside is the wait can sometimes be awhile, whether you're waiting in line to order or waiting for your food to be cooked and come out to you (that's what I've had to wait for the most). On the plus side, my food has always been served piping hot, which makes me happy to know how freshly cooked it is! read more

Wow! This place makes some pretty amazing Thai food, especially at the low price. I came for a quick lunch and I am glad I came here because it's sort of a fast casual style restaurant where you order your food first and they'll bring it out to you unlike most sit down Thai restaurants. Even though it was busy, the food came out pretty fast. My favorite dish was the green curry fried rice because you don't always see that on every menu so it was cool to try something new. I liked the pad si ew as well because the noodles were thick and soft and it had actual Chinese broccoli as opposed to Thai places that use regular broccoli and carrots. I generally prefer pad see ew over pad Thai at a restaurant but the pad Thai here is also good. It's not the best I've had but it is far from the worst! So if you're in Downtown Davis and want something good to eat, come here! There's also an ice cream shop next door if you have room for dessert :) read more

Ugh, this place is awful. I took one bite and I couldn't continue. It was hard enough to chew and swallow. On top of that, the service was terrible. I ordered the pad thai with a side of rice. Choice of meat was chicken and I added tofu. Side order of fried veggie spring rolls and a Thai tea. 1) The Thai tea was good. It wasn't overly sweet. I'd order this again. 2) The pad thai was inedible. It tasted as though it had been tossed in cough syrup. It was so sweet, but like...sickly sweet. It stuck to my tongue. The aftertaste was disgusting. It just tasted like sugary peanut butter, and it was way too wet. 3) The rice was cooked well. 4) Spring rolls were crispy, but the inside was really doughy and the veggies looked wilted. It didn't taste fresh. Again, the service sucked. The gentleman who took my order was on his phone 90% of the time, and only looked up from his screen to tap the order into the computer. Another gentleman brought us our food and basically tossed the to go bag on the table without saying a word. I tried to say thank you but he just walked off without acknowledging us. So weird. Really disappointed with this place, and it was not worth the price. I couldn't eat the food I paid for, and I spent over $20. Skip this place. read more

I'm giving 2 stars because their food is good. But you can count the meat in my fried rice (like 3-4 pieces of meat and most of them rice) . And their customer service sucks! We came here to get something to eat for dinner but we waited for an hour or so. They don't have enough servers so you have to wait. Also, their servers are rude... my girlfriend and I took her parents here to have lunch together way back on September 2022. My girlfriend's parents are not fluent in English because it's not their first language and they were just visiting. The server we had was being mean to them. My girlfriend's parents were talking to him and he wasn't listening and just walk away (the place wasn't busy that day so no reason to be distracted). So I call him again and asked him again but he treated me differently. He was ignoring the parents just because they couldn't speak English well. read more
If you love spicy food you HAVE to get their green curry fried rice and ask for it "thai spicy." This is their spiciest thing on the menu. and If it's not spicy enough, I like to load it with the dried red peppers on top. They should seriously have this item as a challenge. Be prepared to have a pitcher of water ready. This stuff is serious. If you're in the mood for something more homey, I'd recommend the duck egg noodles. I wish their portions were bigger though, because I've definitely had 2 in one sitting. & take advantage of their sake bomb special! (: read more

Cheap and open late! Whenever I come here, I always order either Pad Kee Mao, Pad See Ew, or Pad Thai. I've tried all of them a few times and they've always come out consistent. I like how we can adjust the spice levels, but it definitely depends on what the chef defines as "medium-spicy" versus "hot spicy". Sometimes it's too spicy and sometimes it's not enough - but you can't ask them to remake it if they made it too spicy. Also, try to dine-in instead of taking it to-go because I feel like the portion size is smaller for the latter. But, be wary because the lines and wait time are usually 40+ minutes during their peak hours. It's usually more crowded during dinner than lunch. read more

I have a friend with a peanut allergy. Is there anything for her to eat here?
I have a peanut allergy and I always have the Pad Thai without peanuts. They are really good about making sure everything is prepped without peanuts!
