SOPA Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Yuba City

I am from the bay area visiting family here in YC. I put in a big takeout order and had a good experience overall. Everyone was impressed with the quality of YC's thai food and we will definitely order from here again for family dinners.

Pros:

1. The young staff is excellent and friendly, all the kids have great customer service skills.
2. The food! The pumpkin curry exceeded my expectations and yellow curry, pad thai and pad see ew (veggie) were all also good. While the spicy eggplant had no trace of spice, it was a good mild mixed veggie dish.

Cons:

1. Management needs to put a proper menu onto Google Maps. I almost didn't order at all because of this, but my local family convinced me to call in. So I called and was directed to Facebook of all places to find a menu. I had to use someone else's account and found the restaurant's latest post was from 2018 and the listed website sopathai.net is a complete scam site with no actual menu and huge security vulnerabilities. This is completely unacceptable from what was actually a good and proper restaurant and is the reason I took off 1 star. Owner please update your menus online and get a proper website!! I have added pics of their takeout menu here for others like me who might skip the restaurant altogether due to this lack of basic information online.
2. Please have staff read big phone orders back to the caller. We missed 2 pumkin curries, but it was no big deal as it was fixed...

Ok Yuba City location, so not authentic tasting or even looking Thai food to begin with. Waitress was friendly and nice to get that out of the way. Food was out quick, but I was the only person there during lunch hour. My wife and I had eaten here maybe 8 yrs ago and swore it off as worst Thai food in the area. We have always recommended anywhere but here when people ask about Thai food. After hearing some people mention they enjoyed Sopa Thai, I decided to give it a shot again. I got chicken Pad Thai, medium spicy. Staple Thai dish, should be spot on. Nope, it came out and smelled unpleasant, taste was unpleasant and didn't represent Pad Thai, didn't look like traditional Pad Thai either. Had zero, absolutely zero spice. It looked like they used pizza hut pepper flake shaker to attempt to add spice. It was chunks of pepper flake stuck to noodles and added no spice. Chicken was rubbery. I just do not know how anyone can rate this place highly if they've ever tried Thai food before. I asked about if it had changed ownership recently, hoping that it wasn't the same person making the same mistakes from years ago, and it is new owners with still no idea what Thai food is. Honestly just flabbergasted at how abysmal of an...

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING

I'm Asian and I have had a lot of Thai food and I have to say that this is easily the worst Thai food I've ever had.

The portions are small, the ingredients were very cheap and surprisingly flavorless.

Honestly took a few bites and the drunken noodles tasted like tomato sauce? Absolutely gross.

The prices are way too high given how awful the food is.

👎👎 I would not recommend this place and with the prices for what I got, I spent $40 on some tofu and some drunken noodles.

Even though my order was, to go, I still tipped $5 but I kind of regret that.

Definitely pass by, don't stop.

Having said that, the staff was very friendly and polite but not worth the money.

Why do you keep calling me Sopa Sutton in your response? I have never owned this restaurant or any restaurant. You either have me confused with someone else, or this is a lame attempt to turn your disappointing establishment onto me in some weird...
