Delicious & friendly! We stopped in for lunch because it was on the way. Delighted to have so many different foods at one place! We had Thai iced tea, chicken satay, shumai, sesame balls, and Lao-style papaya salad. I asked about the ‘Lao-style’ and she warned some of people find the marinated anchovy flavor ‘funky’ - we tried it anyway and it was good! They also have lunch specials of Chinese plates.we’ll be back!

I hate to do this but hopefully the owners can take this criticism and make some changes. My meal was $100 for 3 people. You should just give up on having sushi on the menu. Frozen canned salmon that is still frozen in the roll is awful. The orange chicken was cooked in old oil and made everyone who ate it somewhat sick the next day. The Thai food was delicious and is probably what you should focus on. We had to adjust our seating position because there was a movie with a completely nude sex scene playing on the TV. Not great atmosphere for the kids..... Staff was nice. I feel robbed for the extremely low quality food.

Food was fresh and hot, there is a little wait time but I didn’t mind it, If that means my food will be hot! Food was so flavorful, and I absolutely love the Thai Tea Boba prices are reasonable.

Thai China Bistro gets four stars, mostly for the professional folk who run this restaurant. We ordered veggie summer rolls, drunken noodle, veggie egg rolls, and tom kha with tofu. All the products in the dishes were fresh. The actual taste of most dishes was atypical for Thai food, and not in a pleasant way. The summer rolls came with a sugary thin red sauce instead of a peanut sauce, the tom kha was thick with coconut milk (but no balance of flavor, no lime--tasted like coconut soup with tofu not tom kha, plus it was oily), and the drunken noodle had no spice and came with a sauce that was thin and brown (on the side). Additionally, no lime was used and the hot dishes lacked depth of flavor here. The food tasted like it was made by someone unfamiliar with Thai flavors (which are a little over 1/3 of the menu). The veggie egg roll were filled with nicely cooked veggies. Sadly, not a do over for us.

I absolutely love it here! The Pad Thai and Fried Rice are delicious!!!
What a great little gem ! Everything was delicious . Open late for those tea time night caps too. ( most of the other tea houses close so early ) Nearly everything can be made vegan upon request & spice levels can be kicked up on request as well . A new regular go to . Don’t forget to grab dessert !

I unfortunately can’t say if their food is good or not because even though their signed phone number said they were open no one was there so I wasn’t able to make an order both on the phone and at the door, it says they open at 11, but that’s the case. I expect them to be open when they say they’re open.

Stay away! Food is really bad

The owner/operator was upbeat, friendly, and seemed to genuinely love working this restaurant. It seemed like he was doing everything on his own — I highly recommend supporting this small, local business.
