Sopa Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Nevada City

Came here on a Wednesday night and by golly the setup and ambiance was extremely beautiful! When you first enter, there are two locations where you are given the option to sit! One is inside which there are sofa seats and a dim lit area and then the other option will take you to the patio. Obviously if it is a nice day you should go to the patio. The patio surrounded by metal tables around a giant tree decorated with lights lay in wait. Really calming and gorgeous ambiance. Out of many of the restaurants I have gone to, it is probably one of the best. The service is really great and the waitresses does a very good job of attending every table and refilling water when needed! I really like their customer service! Now here is where it trips and falls flat on it's face! I ordered the Spicy chili fried rice, the Pad Se-ew, and the pineapple fried rice. Order took a little longer than expected especially for there wasn't an awful lot of people. I was chit chatting away when the food finally arrived.

The spicy thai chili was very underwhelming. It is was bland, not spicy and very meh. Even after all the veggies they added in, it was just not savory at all. It literally tasted like a slight flavored steamed white rice.

The pineapple fried rice does not taste like pineapple at all. It literally tastes like yellow colored plain rice with some cumin added in with bits of cashews and pineapple added in.

The Pad Se-ew was probably the better tasting out of all of them. Although it was only noodles covered in soy sauce with broccoli. I fairly enjoyed this dish.

Even if this place has fantastic ambience and customer service, the flavor is just not there. Also for being a rather expensive restaurant compared to other thai food places, it was extremely disappointing. The final bill made it even more disappointing. Will admire from a distance when I come back to Nevada city but will definitely not be...

The servers were pretty nice, but that was about it. It felt like the place isn't managed well because no one seems to quality control the food.

The food was incredibly mediocre. I don't care about food presentation, really, but this time, it felt as if they had just dumped in the food into the bowl or platter. It seems like based on the ingredients and how it was assembled, it's as if it's been months or years since they last checked the recipe on what the actual ingredients were supposed to be and how they're supposed to be sliced and how it's supposed to taste.

And for the first time ever, we were served a bowl of rice with a FORK. I mean I guess I can use the fork but that's really pushing it. And we were served noodles (not soup) with a spoon. Like how are supposed to pick up these noodles? This kind of service felt EXTREMELY lazy.

It feels like such a shame to be wasting a good opportunity of a restaurant. The food was edible I guess, but more than that, we felt offended by their lack of respect for the food and the people they are serving. Perhaps a lack of respect for themselves too. :( Guys, just please read the...

Absolutely wonderful experience. When we arrived we requested a table outside. However it was about a 10 minute wait. As most restaurants do we expected to stand outside while waiting. Oh no, that would never do with this team of professionals. The bar was full so they offered a table inside where they brought us water and took our drink orders. Totally impressive and beyond professional and accommodating. When our table was ready they came and got us and carried our drinks out. The setting outside was lovely and the service amazing. Then we got our food. Oh my gosh. Beyond delicious. We ordered the Thai toast and sprimp rolls. Super yummy. For dinner we ordered the pumpkin curry. I was in heaven. Our friend ordered beef pad Thai, her husband ordered the seafood hot pot and my husband ordered the pepper duck. We travel and eat out often and this food was beyond fabulous. Some of the best Thai food ever anywhere. This was a 10 star evening but I can only give 5. If you want a great Thai meal don't go anywhere but Sopa Thai. We're sorry to have to return home from our vacation. We will miss...
