    Papaya salad with shrimp
    Shirley M.

    Came for dinner and this place was packed. No one else was in line and they quickly cleaned up an empty table for us. I came for the pho dac biet and they did not disappoint. I like that it came with lots of tripe, meatballs, tendons, sliced rare steak, and brisket. A plate of lime, basil, bean sprouts, and jalapeño slices completed the order. I also ordered the papaya salad with shrimp and it was very refreshing. I also tried the seafood stir fry with garlic. The dish included mussels, clams, crab, shrimp, and fish. It was very flavorful and I definitely recommend. It was easy to get the waitress' attention. She brought extra water cups without asking. I like that she provided extra bowls and plates for sharing. I liked that they took 15% off of the bill for grand opening. There was one restroom next to the kitchen. Not sure if there is a parking lot but there were plenty of street parking right in front of the restaurant.

    This was way better than I expected. I was able to get street parking right in front, which was pretty convenient. We got the papaya salad, pho dac biet, and seafood with garlic sauce. We went with the non-spicy papaya salad with shrimp and I liked that it had tomatoes and green beans in there. The pho dac biet was good and the tendon was really soft. The seafood with garlic sauce was really good with a lot of variety of seafood. Clams, mussels, both real crab and imitation crab, fish, shrimp, and squid. Came with rice to soak up that sauce. It was pretty busy on a Friday night, but the service was good and didn't have to wait long to eat.

    Finally had the chance to try this restaurant! It's so cute, small & very modern inside. We stopped by on a Friday evening around 6:30 & were seated right away! Our food came out fast. All the employees are so friendly. We tried the Pad Thai combination which was absolutely delicious & flavorful. Egg rolls were nice and crispy. Pho brisket was so good and it was a big portion! To drink I got Thai tea which was good, nothing crazy but would get again. It is kind of hidden unless you know the area! We will definitely will be returning & if you're planning on going, go! You won't be disappointed.

    This place was incredible really worth the stop and everything from what I was seeing come out the kitchen while I was waiting looked fire. I seriously never give a perfect score but this was worth the hype and shout out. My take out met every expectation and more

    Wow they just opened 10 days ago and that's the first word that came to my mind when I tasted their food. This is clearly the definition of a hidden gem! Ambiance - it's a cool dive vibe and the decor is modern and chic . Service - extremely attentive courteous and friendly. They knew what to suggest and also they were on top of all our needs Food- this is where it gets good . The food was amazing I will say that you must come with a healthy appetite and try everything yourself . Please try the crispy crab fried eggroll to start and also the amazing coconut shrimp . Just come in and eat. Welcome to paramount and Downey area . A great addition to the community !

    Rare beef pho

    We loved the spring rolls. Would come back even if that's all they made here! So so good! The pork Pad Kra Pao was also really good! The Rare Beef Pho was not good tho, as much as I wanted to love it - it was lacking pho flavor and the steak pieces were tough and dry. Next time I'll try another dish instead because they all looked really good on the tables around us. The place is cute and the service was great. Super friendly welcome and frequent checks to out table. Looking forward to visiting again.

    We were craving tom yum soup and decided to try a new spot that had great reviews. From the outside it looks small, but once you're inside it's actually pretty nice and comfortable. We went on a Sunday night around 8 pm, and at first the place was completely empty, which kinda scared us because what if food wasn't good. But we knew it close at 9:30, so we assumed maybe that's why it was empty. As we started eating, the place quickly filled up, and after trying the food, it made total sense why. The tom yum soup was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and just what we were craving. The chow mein portion was HUGE and super satisfying. Prices were very reasonable too, about $50 for both plates. And the service was great, everyone was super attentive. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

    Came to have lunch/dinner with my mom that was local. The food is very delicious and large portioned for 2. The ambience is very cute and chill. Music is not too loud and can have normal conversations. The service was excellent, kind customer service and attentive. I definitely recommend and will go back

    Service was friendly and fast. We went to this restaurant when it was Velma's and it looks completely different. It's clean and bright with pretty light fixtures. The food was excellent. Everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful. The prices are on the high competitive side BUT the portions are huge. We can eat a lot and we had almost full containers to take home. We can do 3 full meals tomorrow and that's a fantastic deal! We will definitely be back soon.

    If you're thinking about trying Viet Thai Cafe, don't think twice. Just Go! Their food is fresh, flavorful and serving sizes are great! This is one of those while in the wall places you always hear about from your friends or family. My wife and I ordered out and they had our food ready all within 20 minutes. Great Service. We'll definitely be going back soon!

    Wow, where do I even start? This was the best fall I've ever had in my life. If you haven't came here you better come the best employees super nice. The wings were crazy. Good and they gave me some fire spicy mayo my goodness it was so good definitely coming back maybe every week who knows. The inside is so clean they have a good YouTube playing.

    The bowl was full and still leftovers in the containers.

    This place recently opened up around the corner from me. It's clean and decorated cute. Super nice staff. The food tasted great, big portions and great price. Lots of options to pick from. Had several things and everything was delicious. Lots of parking in front of the restaurant.

    Amazing Viet and thai food place! I got a beef pad thai plate and the portion was GENEROUSSS! Their food is fresh and so flavorful! I've also ordered take out and their food quality and portions don't drop! The owners put a lot of love in this restaurant and you can taste it in their food. I love the vlog YouTube videos they play in the restaurants where the people are in southeastern Asia, making the place so cozy as you eat the asian cuisine. Definitely will be a new to go place on my list!!

What I like most is knowing that we have a solid Thai food spot nearby without having to make a long drive. Every time we've ordered from here, the food has been consistently good and the portions are great too. We usually order takeout because when we're craving Thai food, it's one of those meals we love taking home, getting comfortable, and just relaxing while eating something good. I'll be honest, I've never actually dined inside, only done pickup orders, but every time I walk in the place has a lively atmosphere. You can tell people genuinely enjoy being there and enjoying the food. Makes me feel like the experience probably tastes even better dining in. The chow mein style noodles are always good, the broccoli beef never disappoints, and the fried rice is honestly really solid too. Their Tom Yum soup is amazing and somehow hits even harder after a long night or a hangover. My wife always orders the spicy chicken pad thai and keeps going back to it every single time, so that already says a lot. Another thing we really like is that the portions are enough to eat comfortably and still have leftovers for later, and somehow the food tastes even better the next day. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good Thai food in the area.

So today I decided to bring a friend out to try authentic Thai food and Can Coon did not disappoint us at all. I ordered Nam Kao Tod : Crispy rice with ground pork ,ginger, peanut I ordered not spicy B/C my friend can't handle the heat. Thai flavors are like how I experienced in Thailand so flavorful they made it just right. My favorite dish. Nuah Num Tok: It's beef salad with roasted rice lime juice red onions I asked to cooked the steak medium rare and it came out perfect Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork: this dish is my all time favorite. Crispy Pork was nice and crispy not chewy not hard at all Can Coon knows how to make this dish so well. Chinese Broccoli was not over cooked it was fresh and crunchy. Last dish was a Thai Menudo soup Or #45 Tom Kreong Nai The beef was so tender melt in my mouth, tribes was crunchy not over cooked we loved it with a hint of limes I added more of chilies powder B/C Thai food is all about the heat and spicy. The Thai Lady that took care of us is super sweet and friendly She's very attentive always keeps my glass full. She makes sure we got everything we need and with smile too. The restaurant is very clean no trash on the floor no stain or food left on the table. The Ambiance was nice and quiet not too loud we can have a normal conversation without yelling at each other. We will be back soon. Kob Khun Ka.

We were waiting and had to flag down a server to let them know we were ready to order. We finally placed our order and the servers handed me someone else order twice. The first order was someone from my tables order and the second order was someone else order from another table. I had started eating both orders and they took it back. I finally got my order and asked if it was MY ORDER before I started eating it. I ordered the naked box and the garlic noodles were so greasy and hard. The shrimp was so small and just didn't taste good. We ordered white rice and had to keep reminding them about the rice and then we eventually ate all our food and didn't want it anymore. The rice never came so we cancelled that order. We ordered a lot of food, tom yum soup, chow mein, fried rice, Cajun shrimp, naked box, steamed rice, jalepeno poppers and egg rolls. The jalapeño poppers and egg rolls were delicious. They charge a 15% gratuity to parties over 8, however they didn't even check on us throughout the night, we had to keep getting their attention. Although they did remove the rice and naked box charges from our bill, the overall food and experience didn't meet our expectations and we do not see ourselves going back.

I felt almost confused at first, like as if the restaurant wasn't even sure of its own identity. However, once I started eating the food, I understood and am extremely impressed. I had ordered the crawfish pasta, popcorn chicken (spicy), and fried baos. The pasta was cooked perfectly with chunks of crawfish and sausage in a creamy tomato-esque sauce. I usually don't care for crawfish, but it was so delicious here. The sauce was so buttery and creamy, and the sausage added a cajun spice to the dish. The components are all very seafood boil, but felt different and innovative with unique flavors. The popcorn chicken was seasoned very well and had the perfect fried, crispy texture you'd expect from popcorn chicken. What really made this unique was the sauce that it was served with. I am not sure what exactly the sauce is, but it tastes like a ginger scallion sauce that is served with Chinese boiled chicken. The sauce is a little more elevated and flavorful than a traditional ginger scallion sauce. I would've never thought to combine popcorn chicken with it, but it works! The fried baos were the most surprising to me. I was keeping my expectations low because I usually think frying something that's not normally fried doesn't always bode well. Fear not, the baos were fried perfectly. They were fried lightly while the inside kept your typical bao consistency. Also, in case you were wondering the type of bao, it is basically a steamed bao with ground pork, and I think an egg yolk inside. The flavors felt very much like traditional dim sum, yet new and fresh. Hats off to the chefs and the creators of these dishes. So innovative while still keeping the familiar Asian flavors! I ordered delivery, so this review was solely based off of the food.
