This was the worst pad thai i've ever had. It lacked flavor & was watery. It had like 3 bean sprouts. There were no shredded nuts put on top. The restaurant kinda smelled bad. The portion sizes were really small. The service was quick though, that was the one good thing.

We had stopped for dinner on our way to Valencia, wonderful plating, great tasting food and the food arrived quite fast. We had ordered Pa-nang Pork, White rice, Drunken Noodles with fried Tofu, Spicy fried rice with chicken and Thai Iced Tea for 4 of us. The only bit lacking was the quantity of Drunken Noodles (good for 1 person) and then we had to wait for the waiter to order another white rice and for the check - perhaps due to the fact that only one person was serving all customers and he probably thought we had placed our order fully at the start - a little inconvenient but didn't mind it at all and recommend you to try out this place. We did get our water glass replenished from time to time. Ambiance was clean, and it's a small place - we were there just when the restaurant opened at 5pm, so we were seated immediately.

very inconsistent. Ive ordered medium spice and gotten no spice or really spicy. The panang is sometimes great, and other times really thin and wihtout much flavor. What I really dislike is ordering Tom yum soup and getting exactly 1/4 of a mushroom in a large serving that cost $16 for a soup that literally boasts two ingredients - mushroom and lemon grass.! Mind you, it had at least 4-5 pieces of lemon grass that are not fun to chomp down on and have to pull out of your mouth becuase it nearly broke your teeth! Please -put mushrooms in a soup that claims to have mushrooms!

This was my second visit - my first wasn’t memorable so I thought I’d give it another try. It is a nice space and is clean. Service was fine, I liked that the menu is short and sweet.I ordered the tofu drunken noodles and was extremely disappointed with how little noodles I actually got. They came on a bed of lettuce and tomatoes (???) that just didn’t go very well. I don’t think I’d return again was pretty disappointed.

The Drunken Noodles and the Pineapple Fried Rice are excellent. Those are the only items I've tried but everything looks delicious.

Food and service have been great both times I've eaten here. I had the pad thai with soup and my husband had the yellow curry with salad. All were really tasty!
Recently moved up from Ventura and we tried a few dishes, namely: drunken noodle, curry fried rice, and spicy eggplant. We ordered in the restaurant to-go and overall the service was polite, quick, and the restaurant itself was very clean, neat, and minimal. The food came out within the quoted time. The prices weren't bad but the portions were slightly smaller than we are used to and that night the dishes were made very oily. The noodle wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to, the fried rice was good but dry, and the egg plants was perfectly tender but just covered in oil and lacking in basil or spice. Overall, average experience perhaps we'll try again and catch them on a less oily night.

I stopped for lunch during a week-day. The restaurant is not busy, but it's seemingly difficult to get a server to the table to acknowledge that I'm here. A gentleman to my right is sitting patiently to place an order as well. Is five minutes too long for a basic greeting? Gone in six. This not a review about the quality of the food, which has been good in the past.

Worst Vegan food in Goleta. I asked for their 2 best vegan meals. I expected Thai food and received something that resembled watered down soup with some floating vegetables and 2 small scoops of rice. No noodles or potatoes or tofu. We were the only people in the restaurant and will not return. Not worth the $35. Please refund money.

After a weekend of Glamping at El Capitan,we found Meun Fan. A little worried at first thinking it might be a westernized version of Thai food. It turns out my worries were unnecessary. There was no wait time.Service was fast for hungry tourists like us. The crab cheese(Rangoon) was crispy and fluffy. Not oily. The curry noodle was slightly Smokey, savory and chewy sweet . The combination fried rice was a bit sticky.air could do with more shrimp and less chicken though. The fried fish was a surprise. Lightly battered but crispy. The fish was perfectly seasoned and the sweet chili sauce did not overpower the fish. It was so good, we ate the whole thing. It was a perfect lunch. Time to head home.
