Small extremely casual place with multiple signs stating they had no public bathrooms. Upon entering we were not greeted or seated. We almost walked out. There were 2 other customers at tables and one on bused table which soon became 3 unbused tables. There was faint music coming out of the speakers muffled by the annoying humming either from the speakers or the beverage refrigerator. Once our server came to take our order, she was friendly & informative. Food came quickly beginning with side salads. We opted for peanut dressing which was warm & bland. I looked around for salt & pepper and no table had them. I would have like pepper on my salad but we didn't see the server again until the rest of food arrived. The food was the best thing about this place. I'm told the chicken yellow curry was good. Pah Thai was better than average. The BBQ combination was a good portion but a bit dry. Pork and ribs were chewy. The chicken, though not raw, may have tasted better fired up more. Shrimp fried rice was bland, but surprisingly had 2 shrimp, which I wasn't expecting. The Thai coffee was not good; it tasted more like the burnt rice coffee my grandmother made. Overall, the prices were reasonable but I think I'll pay a little more at my usual Thai place for better ambiance, food, bathroom, and service. Sorry, I wanted to like this place but they had too...

According to him and the owner, he had been dining here forever and had been a loyal customer. OF course anytime when you hear that, it has to mean something. So, i ordered a chow mein. Yes CHOW MEIN! a Chinese noodle dish but it has a thai flavor to it. So, I had ordered that with thai ice tea and spring rolls. Since then, I have come back again and again bringing friends from all walks of life to try this place. Of course I should definitely try the other dishes, but i am addicted to their chow mein. It just doesn't get better than this. I am not a frequent customer, but this place is a nice hole in the wall, mama and papa restaurant. The dining place is quite small, not big for big parties, but it's definitely...
Read moreOne of the best places in the north valley to satisfy that pad thai/flat noodles and thai tea craving! Large portions and everything has its own flavour. No MSG here! The prices are decent. The food is prepared quickly - though ordering by phone and then picking up minutes later is preferred. The rice with curry is very good! Not too spicy, but just enough. Great for ordering a few dishes and then bringing back for sharing at family night, or for the person who wants to end a rough school/work day on a belly full...
