Pad Kea Mao (Spicy Drunken Noodles)
Brian W.

Thai Station is a new Thai restaurant in Fountain Valley. This spot sits in a pretty popular plaza, especially when school gets out. Parking is usually ok. They did fresh renovations, and I like the new decor! It felt very clean and fresh. The service was quick and friendly. Frequent check ins and refills of water. The food itself was solid. I wish there was a little more, but the flavors and textures were good. The noodles were well cooked! I always worry for undercooked or overcooked rice noodles, but these were solid. Overall, Thai Station is a solid new Thai spot in town!

So glad I found Thai Station while driving to the freeway to get home. It's a small restaurant hidden in a tiny shopping center. I was a bit worried at first seeing all the negative reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised with my order. Had the Tom Yum soup with egg noodles. It comes with ground pork, fish balls, fish cake, and a hard boiled egg. Everything was delicious. The broth was so perfectly seasoned and not too sour nor too salty. I asked for my noodles to be el dente and not overcooked and they followed instructions exactly. Service was good l. Austin was polite and attentive. He kept on checking on me and made sure I got everything I needed. It was also nice that there are three types of noodles to chose from for this dish. Big plus. Restaurant was clean and well ventilated so your clothes and hair do not smell after. I will return to try other menu items out.

Khao Soi

The food is really good! The pork jowl in the Kor Moo Yang was really flavorful and tender, and the dipping sauce added great depth to cut through the meaty richness. And the Khao Soi is one of the best I've had yet! Really creamy and flavorful and a nice balance of textures with the noodles, pickled vegetables and meats. Definitely will come back for another bowl! And the staff was super friendly and helpful

Grilled pork kabobs

I have mixed feelings about Thai Station because while some dishes were definite hits, others missed the mark for me. The space itself is very inviting. The interior is modern, clean, and feels comfortable, which made for a pleasant first impression. Unfortunately, service fell a bit short. After our order was taken, the staff were not very attentive and we had minimal check-ins throughout the meal. I even had to flag them down to refill my water glass. On the food side, the pork kebabs were a standout. They tasted authentic, well seasoned, and were easily the best dish we tried. The larb was average. The crying tiger, however, was disappointing. It arrived on a sizzling plate like fajitas, which was unexpected, but the beef was much rarer than expected even though I requested medium. It also was not cut against the muscle grain, like crying tiger is expected, to make the tougher flank steak more tender to eat. The BBQ pork ribs were also not what I was hoping for. Instead of being glazed, the sauce felt more like it was mopped on and left the ribs overly wet, and the pork lacked the grilled char I associate with Thai BBQ. I also ordered sticky rice, which was served wrapped in foil rather than the usual plastic wrap. It was still in a bamboo box. Unfortunately, it was on the hard and dry side, which made it tough to enjoy. I'd consider coming back for the pork kebabs, but I hope some of their other dishes will win me over.

I stopped here randomly while I waited to get my taxes done. I was only one of two people there. 3 people came to ask my order lol. I had the Tom Yum Soup and it was delicious! Very flavorful. If I'm ever in the area I would try it again.

Got the pineapple fried rice this time around ($18) which was pretty good, nothing special.

Tom yum

The place was okay overall, nothing particularly memorable food-wise. Most dishes felt pretty average. I was really looking forward to the crispy pork, but it ended up being double deep fried, which made the meat quite dry even though the skin was nice and crispy. The mango salad was made with soft, sweet yellow mangoes instead of the tangier green kind, so the flavors didn't quite come together as expected. The tom yum was also underwhelming. The broth was clean but tasted a bit one dimensional, as it lacked depth or enough fresh ingredients. On the bright side, the crab fried rice was surprisingly good, flavorful and well-balanced, and the Thai tea was also really enjoyable.

Pineapple fried rice

Yum! I got the pineapple fried rice and my friend got the pineapple curry with the heaviest spice. She loved it and said sometimes the spice goes too hard and there's no flavor... but not here! Spice was high and flavor was high. I have a gluten allergy and asked to remove the soy sauce and they did so and the fried rice was still super good - lots of butter ;) Service was a bit standoffish and not as welcoming though :/

... Whenever I eat Thai, I normally just order Pad Thai to be safe, but today, I ordered a bit too much for us! It was all delicious Tom Yum soup, Beef Satay, Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice. Needless to say... we have enough for another dinner Sharing just the Tom Yum soup was plenty... but we tried a bit of everything! This place is new, clean & beautifully decorated inside. The owners & staff are extremely nice, pleasant & humble. The prices are also reasonable. Please give them a try!

Tom Yum Noodle Soup | IG @moniquedao

Wanted to give this new restaurant a try seeing that they have five stars. The Tom Yum noodle soup was actually really good. I like the fact that they give you a lot of toppings and the soup is not as sour as I have had before at other places. However, the Crying Tiger was disappointing. I requested the steak medium, but it came out looking quite rare still. I am not picky. I just cannot eat rare steak. I told them to make it a little less red, and the guy did nicely bring it back to the kitchen. But when they brought it back out, it seemingly became beef jerky. It appeared they had overcooked it somehow. I didn't want to say anything again after that because I felt bad. The meat was so chewy and did not have any kind of flavor at all unless I dip it in the sauce. For $19 I expected a little more. From now on, I am not getting Crying Tiger anywhere again unless it's ribeye. The menu says "hanging steak". They probably mean "hanger" steak. The restaurant itself is nice and clean and they had a pretty Christmas tree. Parking is easy and plenty. Other than that, I'm not sure if I'll return.

Crab fried rice, double extra egg, to go.
Hao V.

I ordered crab fried rice, double extra egg, to go. But the first time, they forgot the extra egg. Before I even noticed, they texted me saying sorry they forgot and offering next dish on them. Which i now have. So first, yummy. But also, I'm amazed they even noticed. I'd assume that most people, after they're done with one order, just move on.

I came back again to Thai Station to try their other dishes. Love the flavor of the boat noodle, rich gravy of the Rad Na and the spicy crab curry. Staff continues to be great and attentive. Love the ambiance of the lunch hours - bright, airy and cozy!

Pad see ew with chicken !! So good
Charisse V.

A hidden gem for sure!!! Such a cute little restaurant with a charming ambience and the sweetest staff. Ordered the pad see ew and the rad na. Both tasted AMAZING!! I love when pad see ew doesn't taste too sweet. They literally did it perfect here. Smokey flavor from the wok, the char on the noodles and egg were amazing and the chicken wasn't dry at all. Rad na was also equally as delicious. The gravy was the perfect thickness and not too heavy at all. Overall both dishes were fantastic, and honestly better than some other popular and more expensive thai restaurants in the area. For $14 each, the quality and price truly can't be beat. I look forward to my next visit and will definitely be recommending this to my friends!

It must be my lucky day, because we're stopping by Re Ca Phe! It's a really cute spot in Fountain…read moreValley, and they're serving everything up and down the gamut of coffee, from Vietnamese to some of these! Walking into the shop, you're greeted with a dark gray concrete vibe with plenty of matching decor. They've got some multiroaster vibes too, which means they're slinging beans like Dak, La Cabra, and more! Robusta and Arabica heads can both rejoice! They've also got a nice little patio to just rest and relax at while you enjoy your drinks. I've had a few pretty deep conversations coming out of this place. Okay, even though I did come to a coffee shop, I did end up getting a hojicha latte that was roasty, nutty, and delicious alongside the vanilla notes that they add. Great choice for some of you who don't do so well with caffeine. It's easy to drink, and thoughtfully prepared! I got something a little different. It was a strawberry co-ferment espresso in a cappuccino ratio. You could really taste that strawberry come through, and having it hot and with milk was a perfect choice. Fruity, complex, and funky! Love to see places serving co-ferments. I don't think it's over-played in specialty coffee, and I do appreciate having the option! And, I didn't get it today, but getting a fancy pour-over at this spot really hits. If you coffee sweats like the fun stuff, you'll have plenty of that here! If you're looking for both fun coffee and great day, no doubt you should check out Re Ca Phe!

Re Cà Phê is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, which already makes it really convenient…read more The café itself has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the whole space feels cozy and aesthetic, making it such a nice place to just sit and take in the atmosphere. The workers are really nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I tried their Earl Grey Matcha Latte, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Not many places offer this combination, so whenever I see it on a menu, I have to try it. What I really liked about this one is how well balanced it is. The earl grey is light enough that it doesn't overpower the matcha, so you can actually taste both flavors clearly without one taking over the other. The Hojicha Vanilla Cream Latte was also really good. The cream on top was silky, smooth, and rich, adding a nice layer of sweetness that paired well with the roasted, nutty flavor of the hojicha. It made the drink feel really comforting and well put together.

I didn't have a great first visit of this place a few months ago but I'm glad I came back…read more I ordered their yogurt cloud lychee jasmine tea and it was so good. I genuinely would come back just for the yogurt cloud drinks. The foam on top is yogurty and is tangy and creamy and goes perfect with the bottom tea part of the drink. The only thing I would say is that the drink was a bit too sweet and i would get less sweet next time. Their cookies were already sold out at 3pm on a weekend so would have to come back earlier next time in order to get one.

I like that they have self-order kiosks and Toast online ordering, so there's rarely a line.

Kei Coffee is beautifully designed with a great ambiance for getting work done. There are group and solo seats, but it usually gets crowded after 10:30am. The food, especially the burrito, is solid like the other Kei Concept spots. The drinks are just okay though. Besides the Vietnamese coffee, most of the coffee drinks taste incredibly weak. The matcha has also been disappointing every time I've tried it since their grand opening- too milky and watered down despite being ceremonial grade. The hojicha is good. Overall, it's a nice spot to catch up with friends or lock in and work. Drinks are fine if you just need something sweet.
