The Pad Karpow Shrimp was very nice also, as well as the sushi roll...we didn't get that much sushi but it looked too notch.

The service was excellent, the food came pretty quick...and the quality of the plates was extremely high for Thai. Thai is one of our favorite cuisines, and this was well done.

This is one of the rare times the Yelp reviews don't live up to my expectations. I'm giving 4 stars…read morebecause the staff was so friendly and kind, and I don't want to trash a small business. This is a no-frills, smaller restaurant inside a strip of stores in a questionable-looking area of town. As I parked the car, I thought twice about actually going in, but based on the Yelp reviews, I decided to give it a try. It was clean inside, and, as I mentioned, the service and staff were 5-star! My food was where it went wrong for me. I started with the summer rolls (the ones in rice paper); they serve sushi and Thai food here. I have been craving summer rolls; I love the freshness of the mint and herbs, combined with crunchy peanuts and peanut sauce. However, that fell short for me here. The peanut sauce was reddish and tasted more like ketchup, so that was a letdown. No little peanuts anywhere in the sauce or on the plate. It was jam-packed with iceberg lettuce, which you would typically put on a Taco, so it wasn't very fresh-tasting, and it contained the tiniest piece of shrimp I've ever seen inside. Following my gut, I decided not to order my usual sushi selection, which is always raw, unfried, and unsauced. However, I decided to play it safe, so I opted for a Mexican roll instead. I asked for no eel sauce, but I should have also specified that I wanted spicy mayo on the side. It covered my roll, and I had to use a napkin to remove what I could. This is usually a roll that is around $6 to $10, but for some reason, they were charging $14. They made the rolls bigger, but not by filling them with more shrimp, avocado, etc.; instead, they added more rice. This may be someone's cup of tea, but it wasn't mine, and I won't be back, but wish them the best!

This…read moreis the third or fourth time we've come back and the service, food, and atmosphere was not what it used to be. I understand the bartender was doing to go orders, expo, taking to go orders, and pretty much serving everybody in the front of house. With that being said, I was really put off when she ate off of her mom's plate at the bar and licked her fingers before we got our glass of water. She did not wash her hands the entire time we were there. We didn't receive silverware. I had to ask for napkins. Nobody asked us how her food was or the drink that I bought. This isn't meant to bash but to hopefully help by providing real feedback from a customer who use to really enjoy coming here. Again, she's busy and needs a snack, but that was very inappropriate in my opinion. I think the owner should look into hiring more people for front of house because the concept and menu is phenomenal but has not been good for the last few times we've been.

What really keeps us coming back is how welcoming Phillip and Syn are! Also, you HAVE to try their Thai tea. They use a lovely rich cream instead of condensed milk, and it is a total game-changer.

We decided to stay and give it a try as they offered pho too and who doesn't love a delicious bowl of pho (yes! In 100 degrees weather). The place is nothing fancy but it has the essentials. They do need to update the bathrooms asap. They smell funky and the sink feels like it could come on you at any moment. The place it's small with about 6 tables of 4 chairs each. The decor is plain and simple but decently clean. The parking is very tricky but it has access to the hotel and Taco Bell's parking if I remember correctly. The parking does wrap around the back to the front parking. The shopping center has other options for food as well like Mexican and gyros. It also has other stores with other services and products like a discount tobacco and martial arts club. The food is decent. We ordered we ordered their regular tuna roll, one of their specialty rolls and their beef pho. The sushi really needs more practice and better fish honestly. The tuna has too much hard parts and it was very hard to chew at some pieces to the point of having to gratuitously taking out of your mouth and put it in a napkin as you could not chew it up to swallow. The phone on the other hand was their Hail Mary. It was very good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. There wasn't anyone before we came in so we had free range to choose any table we wanted. The service was fast. I'm not sure about the auxin but definitely pho is good and it's nice to have a good pho place near for this winter. Come check it out!!! Ps: no pictures of the pho because well, it was very good ...

Every bite was very fresh and loaded with delicious flavors. Whoever they have as the chef(s) is doing a helluva a good job! Service was really good to and the ambience is where you can easily sit across from someone at your table and carry on a conversation without being drowned out by the TV's or loud noises. I'd highly recommend this place, the food is exceptionally good.

We were greeted nicely by the hostess and waited roughly 5 minutes for a table to open up. A family of five came in right after us and decided to sit at the bar to eat. I knew in my heart that this was the best place to go to for my husband's birthday dinner. We sat on some barstools while we waited, discussing the hockey game playing on the tv behind the bar. I loved the low ambient lighting that spread across the ceiling. Our waitress was nice but she never gave us her name so I unfortunately can't shout her out. She gave us recommendations so I ended up taking one of hers. Now, if you have read my Thai restaurant reviews, you know by now that I judge a Thai restaurant by ordering their Pad Thai the first visit, however, I broke that rule because I just KNEW this place was going to be good. We ordered the Tom Kha soup with chicken, Pad Kee Mao with chicken, I ordered the Khao Soi Gai (it comes with chicken, no substitutions), and one Thai iced tea. You guys. When the Tom Kha soup touched my lips, I was SO excited to get the main course! It was made PERFECTLY. I haven't had true Tom Kha since probably when I lived in California over a decade ago. The Thai tea was strong and delicious, exactly how it should be made. The Khao Soi Gai...that first sip of the curry broth nearly made me go Meg Ryan-mode in the restaurant. If you know, you know. "I'll have what she's having!" Our waitress recommended this dish and I'm so glad I was adventurous and tried something different outside of my "I'll judge you based off of your Pad Thai" attitude. It was perfect and when I say perfect, I didn't even add lime juice to it because I didn't want to mess anything up with the flavor profile. Sure, lime could have added another element to the dish but when I say it was perfect the way it was, it's true. The night at Smiley would have ended perfectly if it weren't for the miserable couple who sat beside us discussing how unhappy they were in their marriage and decided to accept the waitstaff into their broken marriage by being completely rude. But the staff remained professional and kind through it all and I give them HUGE props for that because I was a moment away from telling that wretched couple off. In short, the staff here are wonderful, and the food is memorable, delectable, delicious, perfect...it's HEAVEN. We will DEFINITELY be back to try other menu items!

They will be changing the name to Asian Cajun. I will be going to the new spot after they get settled in. That being said I'm going to go ahead and do this review as it's still going to be the same food and owners when they move. This is an Asian/LA seafood fusion restaurant. They serve Thai Apps, Salads, Soups, Wok Fried Noodles, Fried Rice, Stir Fry, Thai Curries, Fresh Shellfish, Sandwiches, weekend Seafood Boils and Boba Teas. They do Catering, also. They also serve some Cajun dishes like Gator Bites, Oysters, Gumbo, Po Boys and more. I will definitely be visiting the new spot in a few months. I think I will review some of the Cajun dishes when I go. Ohhh-- BTW-- They do have a small market selling Frozen Meats and different types of fish like Mahi, Perch, Redfish, Shellfish and Octopus.

The steak portions were also pretty small, so I was expecting a little more for the price. We also had a reservation but still ended up waiting around 30 minutes before getting seated at a hibachi table, which was frustrating. That definitely took away from the experience. The service helped make up for some of the issues, though. The chef was great, really fun, and had a happy personality that made the hibachi experience enjoyable. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars because the atmosphere and service were good, but the food portions and wait time could definitely be improved.

He was really excited to go so we made a 30 minute drive to load up on some dumplings. My first impression was that the place was clean and bright with lots of seating. We were greeted nicely and we sat down to discuss what we wanted before ordering at the register. Disney music played on the speakers the entire time and even me, a Disney-adult, I was over it after having to hear Let it Go twice in a row. We ordered quite the spread: one beef gua bao, one order of chicken & cabbage handcrafted dumplings, one pork belly rice, one chicken gua bao, one zha jiang noodles, soup dumplings, and Thai iced tea, and one jasmine milk tea. In total, with tax and tip, we spent nearly $75. Now, we wouldn't stick our nose up to spending our hard-earned money to get our grub on, however, we felt like we didn't get our money's worth here. The food was just okay. My favorite thing was the beef gua bao and I would absolutely get that one again. The Thai tea was delicious, and the chicken and cabbage dumplings were decent. My husband surprisingly loved the chicken gua bao the most and I really enjoyed it, too. But for the more expensive items like the noodles and rice bowl, they were *fine.* My rice barely had any sauce on them and minimal pieces of pork belly. The soup dumplings, though prepared nicely, were not very flavorful at all. The jasmine milk tea? Probably the worst I've ever had. My husband liked his noodles but I was not crazy about them, they had a very greasy texture to them and the mouth feel was like I was so thirsty at the mechanic that I took a swig of their synthetic motor oil. Now I will say that the employees here are very nice and they bring the food out to you as the dishes are made. Overall, I wasn't impressed with Steamboys except for their beef gua bao and Thai tea. The price didn't match the flavor for the entire meal, so we won't be going back. Service: 10/10 Food: 5/10 (the gua baos and Thai tea are the best) Drinks: 7/10
