Angel | Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Riverside

horrible service and I am pretty sure those who have given this 4-5 stars is either family or have never eaten thai food before. The larb is horrific and served in a pile on a plate, when we asked for cabbage, lettuce or even basil to wrap it her response was "this is how Americans like to eat it" she repeated that montra over and over again, insulting to say the least and factually inaccurate. i was not aware that this was Mcdonalds, I thought I pulled into a Thai restaurant. Then she huffed off and brought us back chopped up iceberg lettuce, I asked her again how does she plan for us to eat it like a wrap as THE MENU states? her response was "I don't know this is how americans like it. WOW after that she came back with the statement that the crab fried rice was not available and then walked away....ummm so can we order something else? we ordered the Angel Thai fried rice that had chicken beef and pork with sauteed vegetables (again menu described) when it came out it had huge logs of the immitation crab and some onions and pees. I asked her about the sauteed vegetables and she said it was the onions and pees, well last time I ordered fried rice it always has corn and pees.... the pork was tough and bland and so was the beef. I asked for my lemonade to be refilled and she sat down at a table with what looked like her grandmother (WHO had her shoes off and her nasty bare feet propped up on a chair and was folding the napkins and silver ware. ugh, gross and unsanitary) I asked again and she brought me water......I asked again and she said she would refill it for me. we were one of two tables only in the place and its no wonder, this was 6:30 and it was a ghost town. I have been before to meet my dad where it is close to his work and I have had their bland orange chicken and was not impressed, (EVERY time I have gone it has been empty), every time I have not liked the food, but he likes the family and felt bad that they were struggling so he was supportive. well we take a lot of grief for friends I guess. this place has no idea how to have service and the Thai food is bland at best. so if you don't mind fake thai food served with an attitude and a barefoot grandma in an empty restaurant then fine go for it, but the friends who post here are not accurate. try the MANY great Thai restaurants in town who don't insult you as "The Americans like...

This hole-in-the-wall in the Riverside area is a beautiful gym especially when it comes to Thai food or Asian food in general. They also have vegan options or vegetarian options available just make sure to tell them before you order. If you are coming here for lunch from work and you only have an hour of time this is probably not the best place to be coming as the food is made fresh so it takes a little bit longer for them to prepare your meal. If you're coming between 12 and 1 definitely expect a long wait for your food. If you show up after 1 chances are up until 2 they will be still a lunch rush. Food is extremely good prices are great portions are large and everything is fresh. Not the best customer service but food makes up for the lack of customer service make sure you order everything that you want right away because getting a server to come back and check on you is highly unlikely in a timely fashion. the Drunken Noodles are delicious and so is the Miso soup served before your meal is given the egg rolls are fresh and taste delicious. I am myself in my vegan and they offer many vegan dishes also offer many vegetarian dishes which is not readily available in the...

At lunch, the menu had a hand written "NO LUNCH SPECIALS AT THIS TIME" WHAT? Another COVID EXCUSE? IDK Fresh Wrap rolls had a huge wedge of cucumber down the middle and plenty of romaine lettuce, no hint of mint, pork, shrimp or tofu served w/ a small cup of cold hard peanut sauce and I had to ask for traditional condiment tray of pickled and dried chili's and chili sauce. I've never had spring rolls with the ends cut off but the 2 rolls cut into 8 pieces were all stuck together like a leftover order from yesterday maybe? 1 fork, no knife, spoon or chopsticks', Pad Thai was served to me in as a clump of mushy slop of over orange sauced noodles that was a challenge to separate the pile to eat. Waitstaff was exceedingly pleasant, polite and always kept my water glass full. "HELP WANTED" signs were prevalent everywhere. Perhaps they're looking for...
