    pad thai

    i would give this place six stars if i could. amazing food, fast service, kind and professional employees. all around amazing

    Menu

    Typhoon Thai and Asian eatery in the University Square plaza serves a limited selection of milk and bubble teas, as well as soft serve ice-creams from their sister operation of Milk In It which occupies the same indoor space. Typhoon mainly focuses on offerings of Thai and Asian dishes, as well as Korean style corn dogs. There is limited indoor seating and they have outdoor patio tables as well. Both areas were extremely clean.

    Pad Kee Mao (Drunken) with beef

    I got the drunken noodles with beef for takeout for lunch and it had good flavor but was really greasey like way too greasy. But the beef was good and tasted quality and the vegetables were cooled just right. The restaurant is small inside but cute and honestly kinda peaceful. Service was very fast, i only waited like 3 minutes.

    The food was okay, the rice was honestly the highlight of the meal. Fluffy and moist. The curry was pretty bland.

    I thought it was really yummy! I personally thought the portion was a good size, I had left overs and it stayed good. The staff is nice and I like how they kept milk-in-it in the menu. I found myself craving it again today, and the prices are about the same as everywhere else in slo. edit: i came back today and it was sooo good lol i change my opinion to 5 stars and the staff was so nice to every customer and the restaurant is really clean and nice

    Just as Advertised!

    I was iffy about dining here, the self service had really blurry images with noise so I couldn't really tell if the food would at least look good to the eyes. As it turns out, there's more to this chicken than meets the eye. It was served as shown in my captured image! SLO May not have had the thunderstorm hit but this typhoon sure hit the spot! I gobbled it up quicker than a barefoot Jack rabbit on a hot greasy griddle in the middle of August. My compliments to the chef, I will be coming back, not only for more of the Chicken Pad Thai, it warmed my heart and increased my HP it feels like!

    Boat Noodle Soup
    Agnes K.

    I frequent Typhoon even before it was Typhoon and the customer service is always great. I normally order the Pad Se Ew but I got the Boat Noodle Soup to sit down. The crispy fish skin was super crunchy and the noodles were a good texture. I liked the overall flavor. The shop is a little small and the ambiance is very cute and cozy. I would recommend if you are looking for a little quick thai pickup.

    Corndogs were ok, but the curry was not very good very small and more like curry flavored broth. Not worth $17.

    Soft serve was decent but they don't show you the prices until the very end and it is insanely overpriced. Not worth it.

They have a lot of space inside and some out. Its very casual and fast type of restaurant. A place you can come with anybody! Always have to stop by here whenever I'm at SLO. My favorite is pad thai no matter where I go, but nowhere is like this place where EVERYTHING IS GOOD. I always compare their pad thai to everywhere else I go too. Can't forget their pad see ew, vegetables have a nice chew and beef easy to eat. The flavors are just right. You can also adjust spiciness! Just let them know how you like em! Not going to lie, their thai teas differ sometimes, but still good nevertheless. If you like it strong, this is it! I highly recommend the green thai tea, a bit sweet than the coffee and regular ones xP.

She pointed to the menu on top of her head, which is right there above the cashier, but I was standing so far at the back of the line which was at least 50 feet away, that I could not read the stuff on the menu that was over her head. But the point is that she wasn't even nice about it and said OK fine I'll give you a menu. When I finally made my decision, I asked her if I needed it to be on the other line or the line that she was standing at and she retorted - please give me a minute. There was no kindness. There was no common courtesy, just a matter of fact approach to really, an out of towner, tourist, who's just trying to give her restaurant's food a shot. I'm just really shocked at the rudeness. I proceeded to order the flat Thai noodles with mung beans and chicken. It came. It was fresh. But honestly, it lacks any flavor. Sorry. It was a disappointment. I'm from South East Asia. I know what I'm talking about. I would be generous to give them a 3/5. Sorry. It's not very good food at all. Which means there's nothing to say about this place other than - step up your Thai food game. Or be nice at least.

    My friends and I (a group of five) decided to try and stop by Thai Palace . We arrived around 5:30…read morePM on a Tuesday and were greeted and seated right away, which was a great start to our experience. For food, we ordered two orders of the chicken satay, the pad thai, yellow curry, and two mango sticky rice desserts to share. Overall, the food was delicious. The chicken satay was probably my least favorite dish of everything we ordered, but it was still good. The standouts for us were definitely the Pad Thai and the yellow curry. The real star of the meal, however, was the mango sticky rice. It was one of the best versions I've had. What made it special was how balanced it was the coconut cream and sticky rice had a savory taste that paired well with the sweet mango perfectly. Many mango sticky rice desserts I've tried are overwhelmingly sweet, but this one had great balance and the mangoes were perfectly ripe and sweet. All five of us absolutely loved it. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the service. The staff were friendly, but not very attentive. My friends and I are Filipinos, we typically eat our meals with a spoon and fork. When our food arrived, we immediately asked for spoons, but they never came. We ended up making do with just our forks for the entire meal. The server checked on us a little after receiving our meals and asked how everything tasted, but after that we rarely saw anyone until we were nearly finished. There were a few things we requested that never made it to the table. Overall, the food was excellent and I would definitely come back, especially for the mango sticky rice. The service wasn't bad, but a little more attentiveness would have made the experience much better.

    Never had a bad a bad experience here. Service is okay. Food is incredible. Especially love either…read morethe yellow or red curry. Wonderful restaurant. Super good paintings inside.

    This was my first time trying this place. I've eaten at many Vietnamese restaurants across the…read morecountry, and my overall impression was that this felt more like a fast-casual or fast-food Vietnamese restaurant than a traditional sit-down experience. You order at the counter and are given a number. Since they weren't very busy, they brought the food to my table, which I appreciated. The prices were on the high side, though fairly typical for many Vietnamese restaurants in California. I ordered the pork platter with rice and fried egg rolls. The portion size was about right. The rice was fine--nothing particularly memorable. The pork was a generous serving and had visible grill marks, but it didn't seem freshly grilled. It appeared to have been grilled previously and then reheated. It was served hot, but the texture and presentation were not what I would expect from freshly grilled meat. Fresh off the grill would have made a noticeable difference. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside, but the filling was dry and fairly unremarkable. They weren't bad, but they weren't a standout item either. The plate also came with iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, cucumber, and pickled carrot and radish. The cucumber was fine, while the pickled vegetables were a bit more sour than I prefer. The biggest surprise was the dipping sauce for the egg rolls. Instead of the typical Vietnamese dipping sauce, which is usually one of my favorite parts of the meal, this version had quite a bit of chili added and was much spicier than expected. Some people may enjoy that, but it wasn't what I was anticipating. Overall, the meal was good, but not memorable enough to justify going out of my way for it. The prices felt a little high given the fast-food atmosphere. If I happened to be in the area again, I might stop in and give it another try, but I wouldn't make a special trip to return.
