Baan Noodle & Rice — Restaurant in Sacramento

I have mixed feelings. We checked out the reviews for this spot before trying it out and there were great reviews. However our overall review is a 2 of 5. Most likely also not going back as there is another thai spot near by.

It took 35 minutes for our food to come out. We ordered take out for 5 dishes.

Pad thai - 3 of 5. It's a bit drier than I would like. The sauce also tastes somewhat like the pre-made sauce you can buy in stores. Boat noodle - 3 of 5. It didn't taste like boat noodle. Doesn't feel.like there's much blood. More like instant boat noodle. Pad See Ew - 3 of 5. I asked for mild bc I usually don't get spice at all. It was too spicy and honestly it tasted more like drunken noodle which I personally don't like because the dark seasoning sauces are too overpowering. Also it was definitely pad see EWW. Over cooked so my noodles were all broken. Beef Larb - 1 of 5. Way too sweet. It tastes like beef bulgogi with rice ad chili powder. Major no. Pork Ribs - 2/3 of 5. Just ok. Overpriced in my opinion. I believe 15.99 for 5 pieces of ribs nd a ton of blanched veggies.

In terms of aesthetics, everything was plated beautifully and nicely.

But in all honesty I was disappointed. Have had these dishes elsewhere and they tastes...

The place is small and they play some music. The server was super nice, just a little confusing as I thought it was order first and then sit down but it was not. The server just wasn’t available at that time which is no worries. We ordered chicken yellow curry, boat noodle and pork ribs. The boat noodle is a deeper flavor of pho but this one was a little on the sweeter side. The sweetness hits you a bit afterwards. My boyfriend enjoyed the yellow curry and he said the spice was mild. I had the pork ribs which was dry seasoning and could’ve used more. They offer two sauces with the ribs which is a sweet sauce and a savory sauce. I was not a big fan of the sweet sauce as it did not pair well with the ribs. The savory sauce helped a bit, I wish the spice they provided was a lot spicier. We tried all three of them and none were spicy. There were also steamed veggies that came with my place and I believe the zucchini was bitter for me. Overall, I did enjoy this place and love to try more.

(Same review...

My party and I went in for dinner at about 5:30 pm, there were only 3 other tables being waited on. We waited for 10 minutes, no one came to take our order. When a larger party came in they were attended to right away. We were ready to order but weren't attended to until after the party that came in after us. We ordered a drink, the satay, boat noodles and pad thai. After 20 minutes we received our drink while the other parties were being served their entrees and appetizers. After 30 minutes we had not received any of our food, though the hostess did afford to check in on us. After 45 minutes two more parties thay came in after us and were attended to and served their food briefly after they ordered. Suffice to say we paid for our drinks and walked out. I was severely disappointed as the waitress seemed nice but those niceties were merely empty gestures. I may visit again to see if this was a one time instance but not any time soon.

The thai tea was tasty...
