PAD THAI
Katherine M.

I love Thai food and have no idea why I've never tried this place. Finally decided to try on a Friday night. Greeted by friendly staff and seated. We came at a good time. Place is not too big, so you may have to wait a bit for a table. Lots of food options on the menu. We had to try the fried chicken since the sign outside says Best Fried Chicken. We got a variety of dishes to try along with the Time Thai Chicken. Everything came fast from the kitchen. All dishes were delicious. The Time Thai fried chicken was crisp and juicy. Had great flavor. I always have to get Tom Kha soup. This hit the spot. Great coconut and lemongrass flavor. Panang beef was delicious curry and peanut flavor. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes. Great for family dinner or a date night.

KA POW Chicken
Monica N.

Stopped by on a long drive home. It had a small parking lot behind it shared with other business, and also some space on the dirt road by the railroad tracks. The restaurant was lively and full, but we were seated right away. The staff were attentive and very polite. The menu is different than the Thai places I've been to in the peninsula so I tried one of their specialty fried chicken, which we normally don't see. It had a citrusy bright flavor. It wasn't so much our style, but I get why people might enjoy it. The pad see ew, kra pow chicken, and red curry were all delicious and tasty. What I expect and enjoy from Thai food. The only one that was a little bland was the crab fried rice. I ended up pouring red curry sauce on it to give it more flavor. Portions were generous and we had a lot of leftovers to bring home!

Mango sticky rice
Jonathan C.

Came here on a Friday around 6:30pm. When we first walked in, the restaurant was empty. That worried me at first. We were seated right away and serviced promptly. The restaurant quickly filled up shortly after that. Restaurant is cozy with real Thai people operating the restaurant. Roti Prata - 5/5: these were crispy with less oily texture than others I have tasted. Great flavor served with curry dipping sauce. Pad Thai noodles with Fried chicken - 4/5: solid pad Thai noodles with the right level of sweetness and tanginess. Chicken was crispy but could have used more seasoning in the batter. Was a solid dish. Mango sticky rice - 3.5/5: rice was good but mango was tart. I may have been ruined by the last time I was in Thailand where every mango I had was perfectly sweet. Overall, solid Thai spot without the crazy crowds of some other local spots. Will add to my list of regular go to spots for dinner.

We tried the spicy basil fried rice (chicken) and the pad thai fried chicken. spicy basil fried rice (w/ chicken) - 8/10, the overall flavor of the fried rice was delicious. had a strong basil flavor and good spice. my only critique is that the rice was a little on the mushy-wet side. but very good flavoring. pad thai fried chicken - 6/10, the pad thai was a little too sweet for me but had a great tangy tamarind taste. the chicken definitely helped balance the dish as it was crispy and had great seasoning. moreover, my only critique is that the noodles were a little too al dente --could have been cooked a bit longer. Staff were very friendly and attentive and food was served quickly. The restaurant itself is clean and has a simple, modern look. Overall, food was decent for price point and portion sizes were big!

Panang Curry with chicken
Karishma G.

Had lunch at this place today with my cousin. The place is located right next to a plaza with plenty of parking which is always a plus. The staff was very polite and allowed us to wait for my cousin for almost 20 minutes. The food was delicious, the duck Curry was smoky (my hubby loves smoky food). We did also order the iced coffee which was very sweet for me.

Good Thai food. Lots of popular dishes. Place was clean and good service too. Parking in the back, or 3 hr street parking, a block or so down towards downtown.

I found this place on Yelp and wanted to try it for Father's Day. This spot is cute but on the smaller side. I knew I wanted brunch, so I ordered the bottomless mimosas right away! I love that their brunch has complimentary mini pancakes for kids. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles were spectacular but the chicken could have been seasoned more. Next time, I would definitely order by the glass instead of doing the bottomless.

Came here for Friday night dinner around 7pm for party of two. We had a short wait maybe 5-10 min. Parking was okay, not a lot of spaces but was able to park in the back on the gravel. The restaurant was full wi the people waiting and lots of door dash orders. We only tried the beef noodle soup aka Thai boat noodle. Boy was it good and very authentic! The broth was light, slightly sweet, flavorful and not super thick. It was dark and still rich from the beef blood even though broth was light. We have gone all over to try and fine Thai boat noodle and there aren't a lot of Thai places that serve it since there's so many pho places. Theirs was delicious, decently priced and as good as the ones you can get a the wats or Thai temples. Def want to come back and try more menu items including the fried chicken! I'm so excited I found this spot for go to Thai boat noodle!

Pumpkin Curry with Tofu - Large piping hot portion, but unfortunately not a lot of tofu and not as tasty as I had hoped.
Aaa T.

Went here on a weekday for lunch. Very clean, friendly and fast/efficient service. Food came out piping hot, large portions too. Every team member was so friendly, helpful and attentive. Restaurant was steadily busy despite being after the main lunch hour rush. I ordered tofu pumpkin curry and tofu pad see ewe with a bowl of white rice. I've had much tastier items in other Thai restaurants but because the service and portion sizes were so wonderful, bumping up the rating to 4 stars. Normally, I would rate my items only as 3 stars. I also felt that the tofu portion vs. meat was lower than normal so I was disappointed that both dishes didn't have much tofu at all. I would still return if I was in the area craving Thai food, but wish that my 2 dishes were more flavorful. Thank You for the wonderful lunch and fast, friendly service! :0)

This is my new favorite Thai spot in the East Bay!! The interior is super cute and modern (recently remodeled) and there's a convenient parking lot right behind the restaurant. What we ordered: - Fried chicken basil rice bowl w/ fried egg: SOOOO GOOD. Sweet, savory, perfect balance, and the portions are generous. This one's a must-order. - Pad Kee Mao: good! I wish the noodles were a bit chewier, but not bad at all. - Tom yum noodle soup: AMAZING. Genuinely one of my favorite dishes that I can never find done right, and this one nailed it. The broth is packed with flavor and the portions are massive. Get this. - Roti + curry sauce: Fine as an appetizer but wouldn't reorder. The roti wasn't as airy as I like and the curry sauce was thin and a little one-note. Skip and use your stomach real estate on something else. - Egg rolls: our friends ordered these and they just looked ok. - Mango sticky rice: One of the best I've ever had, no exaggeration. Incredibly soft, perfectly sweet sticky rice paired with the most ripe, juicy mangoes...and we went in May! Impressive. 5 stars!

Their fried chicken is a must order!!! Highly recommend getting a side order of that ($10) with anything that you order especially as a big group or just for yourself too. I think this is the best thing on their menu. Enjoyed with rice and egg, the dish is called THE BECK. Other things on the menu are okay, but the fried chicken is definitely the star of the show.

Christy T.

Pad Thai is tasty. The BECK is a must order: crispy chicken. Calamari can be crispier, won't order again. Chicken wings are to die for. Service was quick. During lunch peak hours it can be slow. Nice expansion on the other side of the room. Bright and roomy. Will come again.

This Thai restaurant is located in the heart of downtown. There were plenty of parking. We decided to order take out. We ordered two orders of their popular Time Thai Fried Chicken, Pad Thai With Chicken, and the Pineapple Fried Rice With Pork. Our order was ready in about 20 minutes. The Time Thai Fried Chicken were crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. It came with sweet chili sauce. We didn't really use the sauce because the fried chicken itself was flavorful enough. However, it would have been nice if they trimmed off some of the chicken fat. The sauce for the Pad Thai was kind of sweet and had a little tang to it. The Pineapple Fried Rice With Pork was very flavorful and tasty.

Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the fried chicken, fresh, bold flavors, and a cozy, updated atmosphere.

*** Vegetarian Review ***…read more Full disclaimer. I haven't been to the restaurant, but I've tried their vegan potstickers at the Kaiser Vallejo Farmers Market. So, since I wasn't able to find a check in for that market, I had to come here to sing their praises. 6 Vegan Potstickers at the market are $13. I recommend spending the $1 for chili oil. Not sure what they charge at the restaurant for these fried pockets of deliciousness, but I tell you if these taste this good at a farmers market, packaged in a box, and I wait 10 minutes before I find a seat in the hospital cafeteria, and it still tastes this good, the restaurant must be out of this world. The wrapper has a great thickness and offers a sticky and chewy bite. Pan fried still comes out after having these steam in a to go box, so the restaurant would probably make these pan fried babies have even more texture. Comes with a dipping sauce, but combine it with the chili oil if you can handle a little heat and Yes Chef!! I heard they are at the SF Ferry Building Market on Saturday and Walnut Creek Farmers Market on Sunday. Double check those, but finding a great vegan potsticker is not easy.

Livermore Farmer's Market stand of Papa's Dumplings. This…read morewas some of the blandest Chinese food I've ever had, actually the blandest food I've ever had regardless of origin. I ordered the braised chicken noodles with sauce instead of soup, and the "sauce" was basically some clear coating that was blessed with just the essence of spices and salt. The braised chicken thigh was not only grisly, sparse, but the meat was also super DRY. Braising is supposed to make meat moist, if you cook it properly. When I asked if could have some chili oil, I was told that it cost $1... If you can't bother to season your food then you should at least offer condiments for free! It basically tasted like someone had had dropped my food on the floor, gave it a rinse under the water tap, then slapped it into a to-go container. My friend got the Zha Jiang noodles. While that looked more appetizing, she said hers was super bland as well. The wontons in chili oil were a joke. Not only was it not spicy AT ALL, it was very bland and the meat mixture inside was dry. The best thing we ordered was the smashed cucumber salad, which again was mild and bland. The only thing saving that dish was the minimal amount of salt, sugar, and vinegar they actually used in it. Basically another watered down dish. I had high hopes for this place based on reviews, that it's a small locally owned restaurant, and the fact that with so few menu items that each dish would be decent, if not outstanding. I'd have to say this place has a lot to figure out in the way of quality control as well as revamping their recipes. Hand pulled noodles are worthless if you smother them with flavorless subpar gloop or stuff and top with gross dry meat concoctions. Growing up in SF provided me with extensive experiences with Chinese cuisine from Harbin down to Hainan, and beyond. Please don't discount this as a review by someone who has no clue.

It was early dinner time on a Friday evening and it wasn't overly crowded. All 6 of us got different items and overall it's a matter of preference for what kind of broth and protein you'd like that depicts the meal, the toppings are generally all the same. Consider this place to almost be a "make your own ramen" type of thing, in that you're given a platter of toppings to add to your bowl of steaming hot broth, mix it and let it sit, then voila! It's ready to eat. For a rainy winter evening, it was perfect to have some tasty noodle soup!

The service was really good, they are super on top of cleaning and serving so my food came out in about 15-20 minutes. I got the combo with an appetizer, drink, and noodle soup. The portions were pretty generous. -grapefruit tea: thought it was pretty yummy! I also tried out the super fruit tea and i really liked it but personally found it to be a little too sweet. Not too much to displease though! I mixed some water and it was perfect for me. -tomato beef brisket noodle soup: i was surprised by how tender the meat was and how much they actually give you. If you love tomato soups as much as i do then it's definitely a great option! -takoyaki & lamb skewers: my sister had one dish from her combo order and i has my own but was able to try both! The lamb skewers were a bit smaller than expected but were flavorful with a fragrant aroma. The takoyaki came in about 5 balls and while they didn't include all typical takoyaki toppings it was still pretty good considering it came as a combo! Overall, i really loved coming by this place, my main concern is that it's actually in a pretty busy plaza so parking can be a little difficult during peak business hours. Otherwise it's located in a really great area relatively close to some shopping areas such as the Livermore outlets or even other smaller shopping plazas. Give this place a try if you're in the area and looking for a good eat without breaking the wallet!

There was also a bowl of green onions where you can add as much or as little as you'd like. You season the soup yourself with salt and pepper, which lets you customize it to your taste. Overall, the soup felt very healthy, light, and clean. You can taste the pork broth, but it isn't overpowering at all. Very comforting and satisfying.

I've been to both locations, both in Milpitas and in Pleasanton, right next to the Livermore…read moreOutlets, and the food is really consistent. I love their rice rolls. I always get their shrimp rolls without the green veggies inside and their porridge is also amazing. I usually get their preserved egg with pork porridge or also the porridge with pork kidney and pork liver. This time we got the fish porridge and it was, as always, solid. Their solid is bland and thick, so classic Chinese congee style. Another one of my favorites is the garlic chicken wings. They are so crazy good. They're super crispy with a very thin skin and ultra juicy inside. I do like to really season the chicken wings with white pepper. This most recent time I tried their Chiu Chow dumplings, which were not what I expected. I'm used to these dumplings having peanuts inside and more texture but unfortunately they were missing that. Still not bad at all. Overall this is one of my favorite spots for a quick lunch with friends or family and I would completely recommend it. It does get full pretty quickly, though, on weekend mornings for families looking for dim sum, so make sure to come when they're not too busy. I usually don't have trouble finding a table.
