I was walking through Oxford looking for something to eat when I came across this restaurant. I…read morewas craving some Thai and figured why not give it a try. The front door is interesting an has an interesting history with the building dating back to 1637. I was greeted when I walked upstairs and given a menu. I ordered Veggie Spring Rolls (Popia Tod), the Tom Ka with chicken and Pad See-Ew Noodles with chicken. It didn't take long to get my order and it was all still hot when I arrived back at my hotel. They also wrap it all quite tight so nothing spills out. The Spring Rolls weren't what I was expecting. I thought they were going to be fresh spring rolls but they are fried; it does say on the menu but I didn't read that part. It came with a plum sauce but would have been nicer with some hot mustard. Unfortunately, they do not do fresh spring rolls. The Tom Ka soup was quite good. It's a bit heavier than most Tom Ka soups I've had and I would have preferred it to be a bit spicy. The Pad See-Ew was fantastic. They serve a very generous portion and it's just delicious! And like the soup, it would be nice if it was a little spicy. I'm sure they can make it spicy if you ask them and I wish I would have asked. The food is very fresh and delicious and I would absolutely come back here.

Being around Thai food frequently in California made me homesick, but it's worth a try. The pad thai was a lot better than I expected, and the employees are very nice, so I'll give an extra star for that. It's a nice dining experience, and it doesn't hurt to try once.

We were thrilled to get the call while visiting that they were open for lunch and we could get in! It was well-known by the current and former residents that this place is all that. As in, two of our party dropped everything and immediately called a car, despite an impressive list of wedding-related errands. It was all we'd hoped and more. The five of us enjoyed the papaya salad to share, and then each got either the duck confit panang or the pork belly stir fry. Believe the hype. The sauces were layered with so many flavors. The ingredients were juicy and perfectly cooked - tender meat, crisp veggies. Every bite was just as good as the next. The space is small, but not crowded (probably why it can be so hard to get seats), the menu is limited (but has everything you could want), and the service is attentive. Go if you ever get the chance! 2019 Reviews #23

While the chicken had good flavor, it seemed to be a chicken cutlet from a package, perhaps frozen. It was very soft and almost spongy in texture. There was tons of rice and veggies in the bowl, which were good. The Korean drunken egg that came with the meal was cold. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be served, but it was off putting. Overall, it was pretty good, but the quality wasn't there for a sit down meal. I'd probably pick another lunch destination next time.

It is a no-frills place to keep costs down: get your food, grab a fork and a cup of water, find a free spot somewhere and enjoy. There are always veggie and meat options. Duck red curry, green curry chicken and spicy pork are my favorites. Although the place is popular, it's also quick, so I've never had to wait more than a minute or two to find a spot when they are busy. Sharing a table can be fun here.

On my trip to Oxford, I knew I wanted to have a good meal there, debating between Bangkok House and…read moreits rival, i decided on Bangkok House as the reviews seem to sway this way, though, I would be giving up some good thai iced tea I assume. I brought my flatmates here, almost couldn't find it, you can easily pass it as the sign of the restuarant is not that eye-catching. Walking in, I noticed that it was a very authetic place, everything was gorgeous! The tables were made of glass/wood and you can see every little detail, plus the showers of coins inside the table..*I'll include a picture once I do some uploads* It was filled with people, which is ALWAYS a good sign. I think there were one-two servers, which was fine, they attended to us in good timing. I ordered the seafood pad thai, wanting the best of both worlds, well besides the chicken since it is seafood, for 7 pounds. Also, i grabbed a milky iced tea for about 3 pounds, less though. My pad thai was good! It was moisted enough and easy to get through, nevermind the good portion size. I hate it when my pad thai is all dried and overcooked. It was light too, not overly greasey. The milky iced tea tasted just like..thai iced tea, so maybe is it that? Besides the fact it wasn't very orange, it did taste like something I can make at home though, but i throughly enjoyed it. Thank god our food came before that big party's.....cause we'd be waiting FOREVER if theirs came first--theirs came after. It's really warm inside..but the temperature changes when you walk into the loo, haha, unexpected.

But after heading downstairs, I found a big dining room half-filled with happy Asians, so that was good news. The staff were very friendly and quick. In terms of food, they have a bunch of lunch specials, plus a regular dinner/fancier menu. Though listed by some as a Chinese eatery, the menu has a variety of pan Asian dishes. I went with a simple 4.95 beef and mushrooms with rice, which was nice. There were groups around me ordering a lot more food, family style, and seemingly enjoying their meals.
