Simple Thai — Restaurant in Vallejo

My fiancee & I met up with two friends here because it was halfway between them and us. Outside, the area is a bit run down - not much going on there it seemed and some of the shops were closed permanently. The interior of this place is a little better, but still rough. Walking towards the back, the ugly carpet just kind of ends in a frayed mess leaving a couple tables in the very back sitting on concrete. Kind of strange, as though a renovation was started and they just bailed on it. The lighting is not very welcoming. The menu is a bit hard to read because the font, while cute, does not lend itself to easy perusing.

As for the food itself, it was just decent. All together we had 5 dishes. The Tod-mun fish cakes to start were a bit weird: very oily and spongy, but tasted okay. Pad Thai was good - my favorite of the dishes. The pineapple fried rice was just okay. I only took a bite of the other 2 dishes. One was a broad noodle dish and it wasn't bad. the other was the BBQ chicken dish, which was pretty weak. All of them were skimpy on the meat. The "prawns" were really just jumbo shrimp and not much chicken all around.

I should also note that I ordered "medium" spicy and while I enjoyed the level of heat, it was definitely closer to a "hot" - the girls thought it was too spicy. So be aware.

All in all, it was decent food, but the atmosphere could use a little work. The lone server was nice, but was more focused on take out orders than the few people in the restaurant. Seemed like most people just order takeout here, and I would recommend just sticking with...

Disclaimer: while this is the worst rating I’ve ever given it’s not the worst place I’ve been i to. The restaurant is clean and presentable. That being said let’s get into it.

The service here was absolutely awful. They spend most of their attention making to-go orders rather than spend time on their dine in customers. I understand if they are busy but they only three tables at the time I was eating here and it took them over 15 minutes to take our order.

The portion here are huge! That’s the best thing I can say about this place. It’s unfortunate that my Pad Thai taste more like spaghetti rather than Pad Thai. It was covered in some curry and the noodle texture was not right. I understand there are different styles of cooking Pad Thai but for me this was not it.

The vibes here are no bueno. I don’t know why they can’t play original songs rather than hear a very cheap cover song. You will only hear cover songs to great dance music. It’s the most annoying thing to ever listen to. Great songs being turned into garbage.

I well say this place has great value. As the portions are huge and it’s very affordable compared to any other Thai spot.

That being said I will not be eating here again. This the only place I have ever written a review while waiting for my check. It has yet again another fifteen minutes for them to close us out. I want to leave now to the point that I’ll dine and dash and not feel...

Decent Thai food in close vicinity to Touro! While the food and prices were decent, I was rather disappointed by the speed of service! There was probably a 20 minute wait between ordering and being seated. (During this time, there was only one other table taken too)

I had the chance to try two of their noodle dishes! Pad Thai: This was a pretty typical pad thai in decent portions. Their flavoring was pretty typical, and thankfully not too salty. There weren't very many pieces of chicken however, and my friend nearly thought he ordered vegetarian by accident until he found one. Pad Siam: The portion for this is a tad smaller than the pad thai, and the noodles were not quite I expected. They use what tasted like instant-ramen noodles, but complemented it with decent seasoning. Thai iced tea: Strong iced tea as usual - I would recommend asking for light ice or you might end up with a glass of ice.

Overall, food is not bad and I'm just glad that there's a Thai restaurant close to Mare Island. I would recommend watching out for how spicy their food can be though - my limit is their medium spiciness and I can tolerate a reasonable amount of heat. The service was on the slower side, but we were on a study break so we enjoyed...
