Champion Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Lodi

This small but welcoming establishment doesn't appear to be much else besides a small town purveyor of Asian cuisine, which they are, however the food speaks to something more going on here.

As other reviews will tell you, the service is great, and every single review that says that is absolutely correct. Service with a smile; good, but light conversation; and beverage upkeep made sure I never was without a crisp, refreshing glass of mint-citrus-apple infused water. I'd come back again just for the water, it's really that good.

Then we get to the food. My whole table was given egg drop soup to start with. A small, humble appetizer that was seasoned really well and had me draining the bowl in seconds. I then ordered a lunch special combination plate. All plates come with white sticky rice and a small, simple salad. Then you get two choices of entrees, of which I opted for yellow curry and Thai Grilled pork. The curry might be the best curry I've had from a small town place like this. The soup on its own was so flavorful, but add to it well cooked and seasoned chicken (the protein option I went with, but they also have beef, pork, and tofu), and hearty cuts of vegetables, and you've got yourself a real good curry going. The good times didn't end there, as I found myself marveling at the flavor and tenderness of the Thai Grilled pork. Cook just right in thin fillets served sliced, it was a fantastic balance of sweet and savory, with a hint of bitterness to cut through it coming from the char the grill provided.

The time spent here was an overall pleasant and surprising experience, one that garnered a high rating and a family of repeat customers; even if it's only...

(Can’t add pics for some reason ) First time here and unfortunately I was pretty disappointed… before I explain why I want to say the employees seemed nice and probably have good customer service. Anyways, I placed an order to go and arrived probably 10 minutes after I called. I got pad see ew and btw Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines so I’m not new to the style of food. But this restaurant’s pad see ew was extremely dry …. I had little to no sauce in my food… very bland, any Thai spot I’ve been to is always so saucy and flavorful… sadly I didn’t get that experience and egg rolls were okay but didn’t seem fresh. Maybe it was a bad...

Ive gone to several of the other thai restaurants in Lodi, and this one for me is the best. The flavors were on point, the portions were appropriate, and the service was kind and authentic. The spice was fantastic and the food was wonderful. I had while I was there, the pad kee mao (drunken noodle) w/ pork, the three brothers dish ( a sautee with pork, chicken, and beef and green beans and thai basil and chili), a chicken larb salad, and the fresh rolls with shrimp. I would definitely go back again! and they also...
