Galanga Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

After 8 long years of dining there, It used to be one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara I guess they forgot their manners and how to treat customers properly (specifically a female employee named Boom & another waiter) Before I literally even sat down to eat I decided to use the restroom for literally only 10 minutes to handle my business and she accuses me of doing other stuff in the bathroom & that there were so many customers waiting also use the restroom but when I left the restroom there was only person waiting. They were literally two restrooms there on each side, she and another employee treated me like I was the one causing trouble I even tried to apologize but they kept insisting that I was a "nuisance", I was shocked. I even timed how long I was in there and it was only 10 minutes and 56 seconds to be exact. COMPLETELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!. I Never will EVER come here again. (& By the way, they have roaches and mice in the back, take it from a former...

I normally wouldn't write a review but my experience here was really bad. I got their vegetable fried rice with tofu no egg no fish sauce for the first time and I loved it at first.

I took over the counter medication and that seemed to make it worse. I couldn't sleep all night because my mouth my throat were dry. It felt like my throat was clogged up.

Now I'm having post nasal drip, sinus infection, and abdominal pain. If you are sensitive to food please think twice before ordering here. It could have been a mistake but cross contamination is real. I never felt the way...

Very very very kind service. My aunt ordered a dish that was too hot for her, and they were so willing to help out. Professional! The food was absolutely delicious. It's a Thai place, though, so know you're going to get spicy if you order red or green curry! They can't take out spice without taking out the flavor. I got the Tom Kah soup and really enjoyed it--it was more lemony than others I've had, but also more authentic than many I've had. Sooooo good! Big portions, the price of a downtown area. We sat outside, the town closes the street and all the restaurants have outdoor seating. It was a busy place all around us with all the restaurants and downtown shoppers. The restaurant itself doesn't shout to be noticed from the ones around it--it looks a little run down. But you won't be disappointed with the food. It's...
