I went here on a Thursday for dinner with my best friend. Service started off kind of rough. We stood at the doorway for about 5-10 mins before being acknowledged. We sat down and the waiter was friendly and attended to us. We ordered the yellow curry spicy, and pad Thai spicy. Both of our dishes were chicken. But there are other protein options. The restaurant is small with about 6 tables and chairs. The walls were filled with art, but also menu pictures taped to it. Overall the food was good and the service got better. I would be back to try other things

Very small place but we were the only ones there for majority of our meal so it was fine. The service is so friendly and they make you feel like family. The food is amazing! Such great flavor and textures. I had chicken pad se ew and the veggies were cooked just right, the noodles were chewy and the flavor was perfect. I will definitely be back. They seem to do quiet a bit of takeout because it is so small so I might try that next time. But if you don't mind being a little close to others dining in was great because the service was nice!

I don't normally eat in Lodi, but was passing through and this place had better reviews than most places in the area. Definitely a cozier place that has almost at at-home feel for me. We were there a little earlier than prime dinner time on a Friday, so not busy at all and were able to sit down right away. The two people working the floor were pretty friendly and quick to serve us. The food came within what felt like 10 -15 minutes. The spring rolls were stuffed with a good amount of veggies, with thinner noodles than I'm used to, so the rolls were pretty dense. There was also an option to have chicken as the protein, which I don't see at all when I eat at other Thai establishments, but that ended up making the rolls a little drier than my liking. The sweet and sour sauce that came with it did help temper that quite a bit though, especially since I'm more used to getting a thicker peanut sauce with my rolls. I ordered the priew-wan because all the veggies listed sounded appealing after a week of heavy Thanksgiving food. When it came it was definitely heavy on the sweet and sour sauce. While very delicious, I did my best to left the sauce run off first before eating it with my side of rice. I wasn't planning on getting any dessert , but one of the servers did a decent job convincing me. How can I turn down a mango sticky rice at a Thai restaurant? While I don't necessarily believe there is only one way to make this dish, I was very happy to see it come out in a more standardized fashion. No other colors in the rice and a nice shareable portion of mango. Also, the rice was nice and warm, which gave a good contrast to the cold mango. I'd definitely come back here again if I'm in the area since the prices were good for their portion sizes. The staff is friendly and I'm always down to support smaller businesses.

I had a great experience at Thai Kitchen last night. I had been craving Thai and was recommended here. It is a small hole in the wall esque place. Service was friendly and welcoming as soon as we came in. I ordered the drunken noodles with sticky rice which was so flavorful, I didn't even need to add any spices like I typically do. They suggested we try the Thai tea creme brûlée which is an item they are considering adding! I really hope that they do. I had a couple bites despite not really wanting dessert and it was delicious!

I haven't really had a lot of Thai food or found much that I like but we tried this place on a whim and turns out I do in fact like pad Thai, I also tried their Num-Tok which I already knew I liked from my house holds personal recipe but the Num-Tok here was a different take on it, a lot of tamarind powder for my personal taste but still yummy. The basil fried rice was interesting, not bad but I wouldn't seek it out but that is just my palette talking not a quality issue. The mango sticky rice is obligatory and was yummy as well. Overall the price for the whole meal wasn't bad either for the portions and including tip, would definitely come back. Like most places, personally I'd probably bring my personal water bottle because the refills are never fast enough haha and it doesn't seem like they run AC or at least not yet in the season so it was hotter inside the restaurant than outside which was not a pleasant experience when trying to eat. Great food, nice to know I do actually like some Thai food!

Everything is super awesome!! The service is amazing and feels very welcoming. I got the Pad thai broccoli (i think) with tofu and mild spice, honestly some of the best tofu i've had. The tea they have is also really good! i definitely recommend if you want good cooked, yummy food!!!

My Mom really loved this restaurant. When she recently passed away, there was no other place we wanted to have cater in my Mom's honor, and we're so glad we did. The owner Lee, waitress Phon, the cooks, and the other staff members went above and beyond. As extra, and without any request to do so, they upgraded our tray of mango sticky rice dessert (my Mom's favorite) from small to large, cut a tray of watermelon, fried 40 extra pieces of chicken wings, and made a tray of delicious crab rangoon. Everything was so delicious, including the large tray of pad thai and eggrolls we ordered. The sauces they made were also on point, and they even roasted & grinded peanuts as garnish on the side. Our guests really enjoyed everything. Authentic, flavorful, and fresh. We highly recommend Thai Kitchen to anyone and everyone needing catering services. They were also very accommodating in letting me pick up all of the food early, before they even opened. I'm so grateful for them. For those of you who haven't tried this restaurant, you need to. The food is fantastic, and you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Thai Kitchen. My Mom would have wanted it no other way. -Anne

Pad Thai is great here! It's a small shop and you could feel that it's family owned. Prices are very good and portions are big. One dish serves as 2 filling meals for me.

We found this little Thai restaurant after leaving World of Wonders. It got great reviews so we wanted to try it. We came at 3pm and got pad thai, chicken satay, tom yum soup, papaya salad, a thai tea. Everything was very good with the exception of the papaya salad. The papaya salad was just bland with little flavor, but the other food was really good! It is a very small place, but well decorated with nice people working there. Next time we go to World of Wonders we will also come to this restaurant again and try new dishes. The prices were fair for the amount of food you receive. They also have daily lunch specials Monday-Friday. read more

Good place for Thai food if on budget. The food is good. I have had the Thai Lettuce wraps. They were made a little sloppy. I had whole cilantro with the stem in my wraps. But I have had the curry and they are good. I like the lunch specials. Not a bad place if you are on a budget and want a bite.

I can't believe I've waited so long to eat here. Hands down some of the best Thai food I've ever had. They have such a great staff and amazing food. Great portions with prices to match. I love walking into a business and being called by name, not only is the food good but they give a great dining experience by being personal like that. They have been my go to spot the last couple months and I haven't been disappointed with a single dish I've had! With the colder weather I eat Thai food about two days a week. And I do go back and forth between Thai kitchen and Thai spices because they both are great! But I must say this is my place for the pad thai and drunken noodles.

The food is good. We stopped for a quick dinner and were a bit short on time so ordered just a couple of items. Flavor is good. Plus looking at some of the other food that was being served around us gave a clear indication about the quality and authenticity of the food. In one of our entrees the zucchini was a bit overcooked but overall no major complaints. This brings me to the next point. The ambience. The place is a bit too small and the tables are cramped so close to each other you are basically having a conversation with your neighboring table. I guess this is a hard problem to fix as long as they are in this location. Another huge issue I felt is lightning. Half of their ceiling lights had one bulb not working which made the place look very gloomy. Some focus on such basic things can improve the experience immensely. Service was quick. To be honest this place would be a 5/5 for take out. But dine in my experience was only a 3.5/5. Not a place for date night, although to be honest it did seem like some couples were there on date night :). read more

Ordered take out from this place last night. So glad I did. It is such a tiny little hole in the wall I actually got lost looking for it. The inside is ridiculously small so I do not recommend dining in. .Prices were very slightly high for the portions received but the food was 4 stars across the board. The Thai Kitchen Salad was delicious; savory chicken with sweet accents like apple. The fried veggie rolls were a bit bland themselves but the vinaigrette they were served with added the punch they needed. I will most likely stop here every once in a while but for Take-Out ONLY :) read more

This was my first visit to this small family-run restaurant in the downtown area. I picked it for a lunch get-together with an old friend from Stockton, because Lodi made a good in-between locale. Not being familiar with too many places locally, I arrived and found this place easily using the mapping function on Google. There is available parking on the street in front as well as a free public lot behind the restaurant. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated immediately by a friendly server. My friend ordered the mild yellow curry and a Thai iced tea, while I ordered a medium-spicy green curry and a young fresh coconut. Both of us requested brown rice be served with our orders. Both $6.95 lunch menu selections came with a small salad with a tangy vinaigrette dressing. The curries were both tasty and decently-sized, albeit a bit bland. My friend had ordered hers mild, but I'd requested medium heat. Mine still was quite bland, so apparently they are cautious and don't take requests for more spice too seriously. Fairly common in restaurants that serve non-Thai clientele, I've noticed. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really distinguish itself. I would likely not go out of my way to come here in favor of some other Thai places that I am familiar with. I know it's difficult for a place to try to please the palates of a customer set that is not used to "Thai-hot" spice. However, I was disappointed that I'd expressly requested more heat and it wasn't delivered at all. I hate sending food back for small changes, so I didn't say anything. The service was very attentive and good. read more

If they had a different vegetarian dumpling flavor to choose from for a little variety, that would be awesome, but for now I'm well pleased with what they do have. We have thus far only ordered take out, and have not dined in. I've tried and liked the vegetarian versions of the egg roll, potsticker, dumpling, and steamed bao so far. The bao veggie filling is different than the dumpling filling, and it's very delicious. They have standard Chinese dishes in addition, but I have not ventured far into the rest of the menu. Unfortunately I cannot as of yet share whether any of this, or the dipping sauces are vegan friendly. Hopefully on a future visit I can find out and report. The dishes I have so far mentioned are vegetarian friendly. Not sure on the dipping sauces. Possibly? The price is pretty decent for what you get. One order of bao or dumplings is plenty for two people. They are about $13 each. I like how the takeout containers come in a reusable canvas bag. Ordering over the phone has been smooth each time. So, we keep coming back when the hankering hits, braving what can be a busy parking lot.

Pho Saigon Bay - Lodi

Good day, Yelpies!…read more As someone who has spent years chasing authentic Asian cuisine, I'm always amazed when an unassuming spot completely exceeds expectations -- and this Vietnamese gem did exactly that. From the outside, tucked into a humble strip mall, you'd never guess the culinary experience waiting inside. But the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted by the intoxicating aroma of simmering broth and fresh herbs -- what I can only describe as "Pho cologne." Honestly, if someone bottled that fragrance, I'd wear it daily. Yes, the menu offers the traditional Vietnamese favorites you'd expect, but every dish arrives piping hot, deeply comforting, and bursting with authentic flavor. The pho is rich and aromatic, the ingredients taste incredibly fresh, and each bite feels thoughtfully prepared. What truly elevates this restaurant, however, is the hospitality. The staff operates with a level of attentiveness that is becoming rare these days. Drinks are constantly refilled, every table is checked on with genuine care, and you can feel the pride they take in both the food and the dining experience. Even better, the restaurant is spotless and welcoming -- the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. Don't let the strip mall location fool you. Some of the best Vietnamese food is found in places exactly like this, where the focus is entirely on flavor, warmth, and authentic hospitality.

In fact, the waiter did not refill the water throughout the duration of finishing the meal. At one point, we called the waiter over to fill up the glasses because we didn't get a check-in since receiving the meals. As a customer, the food was subpar, but the service was arguably worse.

If it's over a half hour we usually kill time in Raley's. It's usually not longer than a 20 minute wait. If you are a large party, things might get cramped, but I've seen them pull it off with gusto. We've never had a party larger than four and it's been great. I really like the folks who work here. And the food is great too. They have a few tvs and a little sushi bar at the back, and the noise level is about average depending on how many children are dining with their families. Komachi has a dedicated vegetarian menu and I've tried most of the things on it. I love that they have marinated shiitake rolls, my fave of the standard veggie sushi innards. Yummy! My favorite rolls on the menu are the Garden Roll (steamed asparagus, avocado, cucumber, kanpyo, and shiitake), Shittake Maki, and the Rich Jumbo Roll (fried asparagus, fried onion, avocado, cream cheese, and cucumber). Appetizers I have tried and enjoyed very much include the Agedashi tofu, fried brussels sprouts (I have to remember to have the fish flake removed from this dish though), and of course, wakame (seaweed salad). They do have ramen, donburi, bento boxes, teppanyaki (the tofu one I look forward to trying soon!) and salads as well if you're not in the sushi mood. I like their seasonal drink menu, featuring wine, soju, and beer. Komachi is also reasonably priced. Yeah, pretty much everything I'm looking for when me and my boo are craving sushi. Vegan Corner: several items can be made vegan upon request, but there is not a dedicated menu. Bathroom Report: noisy pipes will not hurt you, at least it's smelling fresh right?

I want to start off by saying I/we've been coming to Komachi for years. The food is always…read morefantastic. Service is generally great. Last Wednesday, our server said something really rude and I don't even think he realized it but it was jarring enough to lower my rating for this visit. I'm sure next time will be back to normal as long as that young kid gets some training on hospitality. The food was fantastic as always. Saying to a customer who asks about an item that passed by their table- "you can't order that it's only for regulars or people who've been coming here a while" is not welcoming or polite and I'm shocked to be saying this about one of my favorite restaurants in town.

Yume

Had the nicest and quietest dinner here last night. This was our first time and while it's a really…read moresmall little dining room, the low lighting and light jazz music playing in their sound system made it extra cozy and nice. We were the only customers and got there around 6:30. My only critique is that there were a lot of employees and we were the only patrons, yet our two servers did seem distracted and forgot a couple of things throughout the meal. I'm giving grace for that because it was a very slow night and they were probably just chit chatting in the back. I would've had no issue giving this 5 stars if it wasn't for that one small thing. Service otherwise was very friendly and quick The food was fantastic! As a Japanese American who's been eating sushi since I was in the womb, I have to disagree with the yelper who recently said the rolls are too small and too expensive. The rolls we ordered were huge and the fish was very fresh and on par with M sushi and Komachi. Is it a luxurious loungy city style vibe? No. But the food is great and the prices are fair imo for the extremely fresh and delicious fish. We ordered two bowls of miso, salmon tataki roll (I only wished for more onions!), the spicy crunchy scallop roll (my new favorite roll in Lodi), snow crab CA roll, and I think the last one was a dragon roll with unagi. They were all great. We were def pleasantly surprised by Yume and will absolutely be coming back.

The ambiance was super clean as well and no issues there. My biggest concern was the food except the unagi which was delicious. The Ramen if I was to rate it would be 2 out of 5 stars. No great flavor and a complete disappointment. I would come back to try more sushi but definitely not the ramen.

Service here is really awesome. They're so friendly and we love coming in for family gatherings. Family style or individual, you will still have leftovers more than likely, and the price is right. The menu is extensive. I still haven't tried any of the curries, but I'll get there eventually y'all. I do like the egg rolls and spring rolls. There's a vegetarian version of both. On our last visit, sweet potato fries and lightly fried asparagus were ordered for the table as appetizers. Each was quite yummy. Nothing I've tried lacks flavor or quality. It's a bright, clean restaurant, with a couple tvs, but not turned up too loud. We were able to catch part of World Cup here over the weekend. Everything about this place is great.

Unfortunately, I'm neither? The food was off. The flavors missed significantly. The beef rolls rely too much on oyster sauce and lacked balance. The sheng jian bao had raw dough on top, wasn't fried well on the bottom, and the "soup" inside was artificially flavored and lacked richness and depth. The Shanghai noodles were udon based? I've never experienced this before. The chili oil wanton were watered down where the chili oil couldn't stick to the wanton, which meant a lack of care to detail. The green pancake was fine. Overall, if you're looking for quality and great authentic tasting and actual quality Chinese food, Dumpling U isn't it. The service was 4-stars. Very nice.

There is a table-top digital touch pad which displays the full menu and browse through to select items to order including drinks except for water which can be requested from the server.

The wonton ramen was sooo good and delicious! And I love bok choy anytime! The shrimp and pork shaomai was very savory and tasty! The chili sauce could be a bit more spicy but it was still good! The green tea cold drink was very refreshing and soothing, especially on a hot day. Staff are very friendly and courteous. Great customer service and very respectful.

The restaurant is a bit upscale and pricey-although many restaurant prices have increased-so it is reasonable just a matter of what you order and are expecting. The drinks were made pretty strong and worth the price. For large groups they have a group menu under the appetizers that has three categories individual serving, double serving or a platter which would equate to three servings. We did a couple appetizers for double servings. There also was a cast iron bread which I highly recommend-we didn't find it on the menu but another adjacent table had ordered it -we asked, ordered and we demolished it. I even forgot to take photos of the bread. For the main dishes the fish and chips was worth it, I didn't get any positive feedback on the ravioli that many of the people in the group had ordered. The one who had the Beef Wellington said it was worth it. There were two in the group that ordered the beef stroganoff that weren't able to fjnish their dish. We all forgot about the shepherds pie--maybe next time.

The BBQ Pork with Rice lunch dish that I had is deserving of 5 stars. The flavor was amazing! The salad that came with it was fresh with an extremely tasty dressing. I ordered Thai Ice Coffee too. It was also delicious and served in a pint glass! I dined in and though Thai Kitchen has an interesting space, it is a bit rough around the edges. That is why I reduced their rating to 4 stars. 5 plus for the food I enjoyed and less than 4 due to wear and tear. The staff I encountered were nice. My food order was served quickly-but by no means rushed. Quite a few folks came in to pick up their to go orders. For the wonderful flavor of the food I had and the large portion, it was an incredible value. My lunch plus drink was $10 and change. Amazing! Eat here. It is truly delicious. If rough around the edges appearance bothers you, just get take out. Me? I'm good either way. Hoping I can return and try another dish! read more

- Super small: Keep in mind that Thai Kitchen is a small restaurant. The limited space might not accommodate larger groups, but it adds to the cozy and intimate atmosphere. - Cash discount: One notable perk at Thai Kitchen is the discount offered if you pay with cash. - Love their food!: highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the food. Thai Kitchen knows how to deliver fantastic flavors. The Thai-style papaya salad with five peppers was a standout, offering the perfect amount of spice. The chicken pad thai and grilled beef laap were also delicious, bursting with authentic flavors. - Good garlic prawns: While not my absolute favorite dish at Thai Kitchen, the garlic prawns were still enjoyable. They might not have stood out as much as the other dishes, but they were tasty nonetheless. Do yourself a favor and come eat here! read more
