Boonie Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Santa Maria

I really wish I could give a good review. Boonie was so nice. I ordered the scallop spicy fried rice, with chicken and tofu. My total was $14.80 which was surprising, but I went with it. I asked boonie if the scallops were good and she said "oh yes. The scallops are really really good." So I had to get them. Well, boonie handed me my meal and wished me a good evening. I took the food down the street home and dug in. When I opened the contained I immediately noticed that the tofu was not seared, and was just mushy floppy bits. The scallops weren't very fresh tasting and were super gritty. The tofu was very mushy, and the bell pepper was nearly raw. The rice was also quite mushy and seemed overcooked and didn't have any noticeable flavor even though I ordered the dish with "medium heat". The chicken was really tough and didn't taste very good either. The basil leaf that is supposed to have a slightly sweet taste, tasted like nothing at all. I am really disappointed in this dinner. I don't often go back to restaurants and ask for my money back. And this would've been one of the times that I would do that. But like I said, boonie was super nice and i didn't want her to feel bad. I wish I could leave a better review. But if you're a restaurant, and you serve me that kind of food, you...

I love walking into a restaurant and receiving an enthusiastic, happy greeting!! I got that here!! This is my first time ordering here from a recommendation we received from friends. The food was excellant. I came in to order out since I didn't know the menu. The service was outstanding and the food as well. This is our new Thai food restaurant for sure! The Eggrolls are made in-house and the best I've ever had! The flavors are vibrant and satisfying!! After 28 years and going strong, you know they are doing it right!

Love the clean, comfy atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are large!

I ordered 2 orders of Phad Thai and requested 1 Hot (spicy) and 1 Medium (spicy). They were both excellant; the rice noodles were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor, the Medium Spicy was perfect, I do like spicy food. The Hot was perfect as well, not overwhelming, just a really good even heat and flavor was so good.

I highly recommend you try it out. I doubt you'd be disappointed! I'm already looking forward to going back and having a great meal there! But that will be in a week because there is enough left over for a couple more...

This restaurant normally closed at 9pm. My family and I arrived at 7:40pm not only to get turned away but rudely turned away with no explanation. When we first arrived we were told they'd get to us shortly along with others who were waiting patiently as well. Maybe 5 minutes later we were told the kitchen was closing early and they were closing the doors as in locking them. There were still regulars eating inside. We got told to leave but my daughter had gone in to use the restroom so we had to wait. A regular customer I assume, decided to chime in on behalf of the restaurant and tell us we needed to leave and not stand in the waiting area. It seemed as if they thought we didn't understand what the staff had said. I explained that we were going but I wasn't going to leave without my daughter. We came to have a good dining experience but in the end it came to a rude kick out. Based on that I would not recommend this restaurant just based on customer service, environment and just...
