    The spread ;) all tasty items
    Charlene G.

    Found myself here meeting up with my cousin for dinner. This place can easily get missed because there's not much signage from the street and it's in a shopping center that has a lot of other restaurant businesses. The reviews are legit, this spot serves up some tasty, authentic Thai dishes. Peep my foodie pic, the curry is thick not watered down like other establishments. The rice is cooked to perfection, coming from a Filipina that was raised on eating rice! *wink. There wasn't an item that we ordered that wasn't delicious. Come check this place out.

    For this visit, we had satay chicken for appetizers which was really good. The chicken was tender and the peanut sauce complimented it well. For our main dish, we opted for their lunch menu. I had the combo Thai orange chicken and egg fried rice. I liked the egg fried rice but I can't say the same for the orange chicken. Apparently, it's just sliced chicken (which by the way was tiny) and just sweet sauce. My husband had the red curry medium spice with white rice. He enjoyed it. For drinks, we had the Thai iced tea. The service was good and fast.

    Pad Thai
    Jaane F.

    We ordered pineapple fried rice with beef and pad thai with chicken. Both dishes tasted just okay -- the beef and chicken were tough and seemed overcooked. The portions were generous, and the restaurant itself was spacious, but overall the food and experience felt pretty average. On a positive note, the staff service was friendly and fast. The plaza has plenty of parking, though the spaces are quite compact.

    Shrimp Thai Fried Rice
    Fernanda G.

    I'm so sad because I'm a regular customer here. Probably come 2-4 times a month, so I recommended this place to my coworker. She ordered shrimp pad see-ew and I ordered pork thai fried rice. I came to pick up this order on my break. I am only given 30 minutes. It's a 10-12 min from my job so I go pick up my food and then come back and basically break is over. I understand it might have been my fault because I didn't check the order but they never get it wrong.. When I got to work we opened our orders and hers had pork and mine had shrimp. (She does not eat pork btw) So I called them to see what they could do to help us and they said to "leave it in the fridge and then bring it back for us to fix it." What happened to store credit? I'm in no way trying to scam. If anything I even left a small tip. Our break is over and now we don't have a meal to eat because "leave it in the fridge?" That's my only complain. Other than that, their food is always very delicious. I can eat whatever but I feel bad for my coworker who paid for her food and can't even eat it.

    Cucumber salad - who puts oil in a cucumber salad?
    Maia F.

    Oil is the main ingredient - even the cucumber salad was super oily. For $3.50 I would expect more cucumber than weird flavorless oil water. The pad Thai was a paste of tasteless noodles in a block. Bland and oily overall.

    Thee best panang curry in Sac! My new brow bar is next to Thai Spoon which was already on my Yelp "to try" list. Boy did I score big! Panang curry (with chicken) is my absolute favorite Thai curry and I have to admit, we are fortunate in Sacramento to have some really good Panang curry options. But Thai Spoon is best in class. The first time I tried it, it was an instant love affair. Tiffany, the lovely, sweet hostess must never take a day off, as she's always working when I stop in (with a smile, I might add). Chef Mu, God bless you and thank you for always customizing my curry. I don't like carrots and order Panang with bell peppers, broccoli, green beans and eggplant. Taste, texture and temperature are my three gold seals...Thai Spoon nails all three each time. My last trip hubby was in town and he is not a curry person. I asked him just to taste it and Mr. rarely raves about anything couldn't stop saying how good the panang curry was. Hubby ordered Thai chow mein with beef, we shared the calamari appetizer, and I ordered the spicy basil fried rice (another must order every time favorite). I'm going to try the panang with tofu on my next visit. Thank you Tiffany and Chef Mu!

    Spring rolls ... good
    Monica L.

    I came in here for the first time craving my peoples food, and i thought it would be a good idea to try this spot since it had 4 stars. The service was quick and friendly ... but the food... PSA THIS REVIEW is for the real thai and lao food junkies!!!! My palette is so picky because i like flavorful food, since i grew up eating real authentic thai and lao dishes. I ordered a spring roll and chicken drunken noodle with no bell pepper no bean sprout and no bamboo (still had plenty of veggies). I requested my food be spicy, LIKE SPICY! Man did they deliver, BUT.. their dish is what we call "ped lah lah" or just spicy with no flavor. I couldn't eat anymore because i couldn't taste anything but spice . It had no flavor to the food. Now i cant base my assumptions off of one visit, but us southeast asians like flavor and i know when there isn't flavor if the fat noodle is still white all around or stuck together. I asked for more stir fry sauce and took my food to go stating that i couldn't taste much flavor. they kindly gave me a container of their stir fry sauce. When i came home and stir fried with their sauce (and a dash of sugar to keep it from being salty) it was DELICIOUS. That changed my 3 stars rating to a 4 (with added steps). If you are picky about your Asian food id be cautious as natomas prices might leave you disappointed because the dishes cater to a more Americanized palette. Its a beautiful place, and the food was not horrible at all. Once again just picky. Id come again to try the boat noodle'

    An unassuming Thai restaurant that serves delicious food. I cannot stress how good their drunken noodles and fried tofu are. Would also highly recommend their coconut ice cream that is so rich in flavor. Their fried bananas though are on the more expensive side and we didn't like the way they were fried. Their Tom Kha soup is well worth it and a small one is enough to satisfy 3 people. Their Pad Thai is a little on the sweeter side and watch out for spice. While all "spicy" items are marked with a double asterisk, there are varying levels, so make sure to ask before ordering, especially their Som Tum salad. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing lots of information. The restaurant layout is perfect for larger groups (6+). Food is prepared rapidly and since it's in a mall, there's plenty of parking.

    Came here for a quick stop and enjoyed the experience! They weren't crowded at all on a Thursday afternoon when we got in. Good: - I got a khao soi dish and also a tom kha soup - I liked the tom kha more since the Khao soi had a weird after taste - Papaya salad was good and sweet and savory - The portion sizes were large - Prices were very reasonable for lunch and the amount of food we got Bad: - The place was a little cramped and the seats weren't super fancy - The place took a while to get food out - Very casual place Overall nice for a road trip but wouldn't come back.

    8/23/24. 3/5* $15.95+ Drunken Noodle (chicken). Flavorful. WARNING: we chose medium spicy and tasted extra spicy! We were sweatin balls!!!
    Sharmaine M.

    Hubby ordered on their website. It took about 15 minutes to get there. He left immediately after he ordered cause he wanted to make sure we receive the food right when it's freshly cooked. Awesome that the food was made to order! 3/5 stars. $15.95+ Drunken Noodles (chose chicken): wide rice noodle stir fried with choice of meat, egg, onion, basil, bamboo, bell pepper, bean sprout in fresh chili garlic sauce. - it did say spicy on their website but when you order it, it let's you pick the spicy level. We chose medium. OHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYY THEY DO NOT PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR SPICY LEVEL. I love spicy foods but this was not medium, it seemed like extra spicy cause hubby and I were sweating balls!!!!!!!! Trussst fam.. we had the AC on in the house lol. Good thing bout it is, the authentic flavors are there. Not sure if they didn't see that we chose medium spicy but next time, I'll be sure to call it in and ask for mild. I wanted to eat more but because it was spicy enough that my tongue and stomach started to burn that I only had like a few bites. 3/5 stars. $9.95+ Tom Yum Soup (chose chicken) : choice of chicken or shrimp with vegetables, lemongrass in hot and sour soup. - same opinion as the drunken noodles!!! 3/5 stars. $15.95+ Pad Thai (chose chicken): rice stick noodle stir fried with choice of meat, egg, tofu, bean sprout, green onion, in Pad Thai sauce, topped with ground peanut. - Thank God this was not spicy! Lol. LOVE THE AUTHENTIC FLAVOR. Would have it less sweet and lemon-y. Would ask for more green onions, bean sprouts and grounded peanuts. Over all, I think they rushed our order. THEY SHOULD HAVE TASTED IT TO MAKE SURE THE FLAVORS AND SPICY LEVELS WERE RIGHT. Idk?! It was off. Will try again cause I really don't wana drive all the way to Citrus Heights just to get the perfect authentic thai food. Happy eat's ya'll!

    The fried rice was delicious, husband asked if they can add a bit more garlic and they charged us an extra $2 for the sprinkled garlic you see on top of the fried rice. The salad was good but not enough salad and too much red onions. The pad cha with chicken had an unusual fragrant that I wasn't able to get over. Not sure what it was.

    Faith L.

    It's been about 10 years since I first posted my review. This is still my favorite Thai spot in the Sacramento area. The food is amazing!

    Trice O.

    I've never had Thai food and this place was recommended to me so today I paid them a visit for lunch. The ambiance was decent, clean and quaint but the customer service was superb and welcoming. For appetizers, I tried the Thai dumplings and they were delicious. I kept it simple for my meal, and ordered Thai shrimp fried rice. (I was too hungry and scared to try anything too foreign to taste buds.) The portions were large and I needed a to go bag. To drink I tried the Thai tea but I wasn't a fan of it. My first experience at a Thai restaurant wasn't bad, I'd definitely return again.

Place was packed during lunch because of the farmer's market on Saturday. We got the Hat Yai fried chicken, green curry, crab fried rice, beef satay, thai tea and Piak Sakoo (Sago Pudding w/ Young Coconut) The hat yai fried chicken is a must! It was so crispy and flavorful, especially with the sauce. The crab fried rice was also so good and paired nicely with everything. The green curry has a lot of vegetables and is a nice change from the regular red curry I usually get. The thai tea is just right, not too sweet. The most disappointing thing is the beef satay. I wanted to switch it up from the regular chicken satay but the beef satay was overcooked and chewy. It was quite inedible so that's the only thing I probably wouldn't get. The pandan sago was also so good. The sago being warm paired nicely with the coconut ice cream. Overall, I'm looking forward to going back to try new things.

The chicken satay was tender and flavorful, while the eggplant salad brought a nice mix of fresh, savory flavors. The chive appetizer cakes were another favorite and a great appetizer to share with the table. I also liked having several smaller dishes to try rather than sticking to just one thing. It's a great option if you're dining with family or friends and everyone wants to sample a little bit of everything. Rex Tip: If you're visiting on a Saturday, just an FYI, the farmers market runs right in front of the restaurant. Expect some nearby street closures, bigger crowds, and a little extra time getting around or finding parking. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

I asked if they could do something mild, but was told they don't offer that. I'm Indian and normally handle spice very well, so I was worried that "no spice" would be completely bland. I went with their lowest actual spice option: medium. Huge mistake. The first bite genuinely scared me. It tasted like someone had dumped an entire packet of chili directly into my mouth. My eyes immediately started watering, my mouth was on fire, and eating it was extremely uncomfortable. This wasn't a matter of me being sensitive to spice, the "medium" was insanely spicy. My friend, who is also South Asian and accustomed to spicy food, couldn't finish hers either. I politely told our waitress that the medium Pad Thai was far too spicy for me to eat. Her solution was to offer me sugar to pour over it. That sounded awful, so I declined. At that point I literally went on ChatGPT to figure out how I could salvage my meal. It suggested peanut sauce as one option to help tone down the heat, which sounded much more reasonable. I asked the waitress for some peanut sauce and was told I could have it for an additional charge. Considering I was only asking for it because their "medium" Pad Thai was practically inedible, I found that pretty disappointing. But I wanted to actually eat the food I had paid for, so I agreed. The peanut sauce helped slightly, but I basically had to eat a spoonful of peanut sauce with every single bite just to tolerate the Pad Thai. At that point, I wasn't enjoying dinner. The restaurant itself also felt very dirty. The floors looked like they desperately needed to be mopped, which made the overall experience even less appealing. Between the inedible food, the lack of any meaningful attempt to fix the problem, being charged extra for something I needed just to make the meal tolerable, and the cleanliness of the restaurant, I seriously considered leaving no tip. I ultimately did leave one, albeit reluctantly. Zero out of ten experience. I will absolutely never come back.

That it is customary in Sacramento. Ok then, what about to those that are elders or disabled who can't bring the plates? I was lucky I had few of my fam to help but there's no warmth to this owner. No one even checked on us at all! We would have left but we had to pay upfront before we found out we had to be the waitress. Food wasn't even worth it (papaya was bland, pad Thai was average). Update: owner replied to this post. Everything that she stated wasn't true at all. I asked why we have to bring all the stuff in and she insisted that it's customary in Sacramento-- she did NOT asked us at all or did we asked, the owner said it immediately when we got seated that we HAD to bring it in. Yes I was upset AFTER we were told to bring the plates and everything in; we just came back from a vacation so we were in a good mood). Please don't make it seem that you were innocent as you also keep mentioning that is how things are in Sacramento and asked where I was even from. Also, we would've been more understanding if we didn't give us an attitude from the start and told us to get our own plate and bring it back in. A word of advice: please hire more staff since that would give some politeness to ALL customers. If you were so busy, how would you even have the time to explain why you wanted us to do waitress work. Please, you straight up and said we have to pick up our our plate of foods WITHOUT any of the understaff part. Again, owner keep trying to make a costumer experience in the wrong since honest review will hurt her business. Never in my Yelp reviews owner is so against a bad review --this just verifies how the owner is very defensive and keeps justifying without taking accountability of what actually happened (like how we even know she was working alone since we're outside). Also, please don't make any assumptions, they're not my husband or daughter (we never mentioned this and how inaccurate the owner perspective is). Further customers, please be aware when you leave bad reviews, expect the owner to persist that you're in the wrong (like she did with other previous bad reviews).

I'm not sure if management or chef has changed but their food is not what I remembered from years ago. We initially ordered their tofu pad thai and gai yang and immediately noticed how pricey their menu was. They have a wall of specials and I remember being shocked that their orange chicken was $24. I didn't mind paying more than what I was used to for my pad thai because I remembered their food was delicious but I was shocked when my pad thai came out. It was literally drowned in sauce and looked like it was a bowl of noodle soup. I was still optimistic hoping that it tasted better than it looked but it just tasted like sweet rice noodle soup. I was hesitant to bring it up to the waitress after two bites but so glad I did because I would have hated myself if I left without saying anything. The waitress was kind and offered to remake the dish. Instead, I opted for something else because I was afraid to be disappointed again. I ordered their tofu drunken noodles since I've gotten it here before and remember it being tasty. I confirmed that the drunken noodle was going to be a dry noodle dish and thankfully it was. It was good but not the best I've ever had. My boyfriend had their gai yang which is a marinated grilled chicken dish. He said it was pretty dry without the sauce on the side but the sweet chili sauce provided was pretty tasty. It's probably not worth $26 given the how dry the chicken was and he said he would never order it again. Overall, the customer service was great and portions were good. I had to deduct 3 stars from my previous review as the food quality has significantly gone down in my experience and doesn't justify the high menu prices in my opinion.

I can always look forward to the fresh taste and feeling I get when I walk into Thai Basil The service is a plus. The friendly and sweet owner Suleka comes to the table and greets her guest; which is an absolute pleasure and plus! The ambiance gives greenery meets earth tones and earthly vibe. The sounds of the chef chopping colorful vegetables, steaming pots and pans, sizzling aroma keeps me coming back after ten years! Always five star! Thank you Thai Basil

    Came here in May 2026 with a small group. Had the pad thai with chicken, the pad see-ew with…read morechicken, and yellow curry. The pad thai was rather medicore without any strong flavors. The small tofu cubes in the dish were hard and flavorless. Ntot a dish-ruining offense, but I must say that I didn't know tofu got that hard. Same thing for the pad see-ew. It was quite dry and had a distinctly burnt flavor the first time it came out, it tasted like ash in my mouth. The chicken was rather burnt. The staff was friendly and kindly replaced it for me, but the burnt flavor remained. I think the pan they're using must have been burnt. I didn't think the yellow curry was notable. The thai tea is good. The restaurant itself is friendly and cozy. Water is from the tap.

    Thai Canteen has been around for all long as I can remember, before all the new, modern Thai spots…read morestarted popping up all over Midtown. There's a reason this original spot stuck around for so long.. consistent, delicious, and open late night! #25 Bamee Bphet Yang 5/5* Duck Egg Noodle Soup is why I come here! Thai Canteen is the ONLY Thai spot that makes this duck noodle soup. Noodles are so plump and springy like the texture of freshly made ramen noodles. The broth is intense in flavor, amped up by the honey roasted duck and has this slightly salty, sweet umami taste. If it weren't for the "No MSG" red letters stamped on the menu board, I would've thought this soup had some MSG. The flavor is THAT delicious where you can't really pinpoint where it's coming from. #24 Gkuay Dtlow Reur (Boat Noodles) 3/5* The thin pho Noodles were fresh and cooked perfectly al dente, but the soup itself was lacking that beefy richness. The broth was watered down and bland. #26 Pad Thai Noodles with Tofu 5/5* Good portion size that is shareable for two. The soft tofu is plump and soaked up the pad thai sauce well. There's just enough sauce without the dish being overly saucy. The flavor is richer and less sticky sweet than other Thai places, making this more savory with a just slight hint of tamarind sweetness. Happy Hour Eggs Over Rice 1/5* This popped up on the Happy Hour menu one time and it is exactly what the name says. Just an egg omlette over a mound of white rice. The egg was overcooked, dry, and lacked any flavor. Even at HH prices, this is a hard pass. The location and hours are so convenient smack in the middle of downtown. You order at the counter, choose any seat, and the food comes out fast. Water is self service. This makes for a good lunch spot if you're short on time but want a good cooked meal. They have both after work HH and late night HH. There's a small bar inside as well and patio seating on the side.

    We stopped here on our way to the Golden 1 Center amphitheater to see Tyler Childers, and it was a…read moregreat pre-show pick. The food was sooo good, the portions were huge, and the service was great. It's in a cute little neighborhood, and surprisingly not busy when we stopped in. They have highchairs and the staff was super friendly with our 1-year-old, which made things easy. All the beer options are on tap, and they're good ones. Will definitely return next time I'm in Sacramento!

    The Thai and Laotian food from here was pretty good!…read more My family and I shared the following dishes: -Thai Green Tea: Huge size! The drink was creamy and flavorful. Not too heavy. -Lao Sausage:: Meaty and I liked the flavor. It went well with the side sauce. I wish it came with more sticky rice though. -Chicken Larb: This was solid and I liked the tangy flavor. Portion size is pretty small though and only came with one cup of lettuce. -Lao Papaya Salad: Solid, but I've had better elsewhere. -Salmon Pad Thai: My favorite dish of the night! The best part were the salmon bites which were glazed in the sweet pad Thai sauce and had a crispy exterior and soft interior. Super delicious. -Khao Piak: Warm, thick, tangy, and comforting bowl of noodle soup. Overall, I enjoyed everything despite the smaller portion sizes for some of the dishes. The service here was pretty good and the interior was clean and cozy. Parking is street parking. A solid restaurant for Asian food in Sacramento.
