I enjoy their Basil Chicken Over Rice w/ medium spice. It's my go-to if I can't decide what I really want. Give it a try. You won't regret it ^-^

Best combo fried rice in irvine. They are very consistent and generous portions. The service is always excellent and it is located in a food court so the vibe and ambiance is nice. 5 stars

Genuinely the best pad thai I've had in my life. Best pad thai in Irvine. Best pad thai in Orange County. Flavor is insane. I recommend chicken pad thai with medium spice and the basil chicken over

Came here because I had a craving for Thai food. I got the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. The Thai was alright but the chicken was unseasoned and the noodles were more sour than I was used to. The Pad See Ew had a lot of vegetables which usually aren't included in pad see ew and not enough beef or noodle and the beef was also not seasoned. It unfortunately didn't satisfy my Thai food craving. Giving three stars bc the service was nice.

Their options are bad because you only get to choose one item and they give you rice with it, I got the orange chicken which didn't taste at all like chicken they just smothered it in the sauce and every piece of "chicken" was very crunchy. The service wasn't the best either the lady at the register was kinda rude and just ignored me the first time she came out (she stays in the back) and the food is pretty expensive for what you are getting. All of this and you're packed into a little corner food court with limited seating and there isn't special seating for this restaurant so you kinda have to get lucky and find a seat somewhere with four other restaurants around you. Overall I wouldn't recommend it because of the service and food you get for the price. Never coming back.

This is my go-to place for Pad See Ewe. It's so good! The lady at the counter is really nice. It doesn't take long for my order to be ready. The plates are always packed and taste good. I love this place and parking is usually good.

I love this place. The food is always on point with a healthy serving. The price is perfect for lunch and very affordable. The old couple that runs the business... so that's an extra plus. I usually order the pad Thai, pad see ew or basil beef. The hot sauce she has on the side is a bit vinegary ... the perfect sauce to go on top of any noodle dish :)

Service was excellent and quick. Exactly what I was looking for, an authentic mom and pop shop with great food. Can't wait to try more items on their vast menu.

1st time trying this place. My co worker suggested we order from here and he can pick up. Since they are only 5 minutes away from our office. He suggested Pad Thai, and I got the spicy beef pad Thai. Price wise its very cheap. In Irvine area you wont find a total $12 lunch option. The portion was even good for 2 people. But to be honest not a very healthy option. It was very greasy. But tasted good of course. Tough to say if I ever get food from them.

I had the chicken pad see ew and mango sticky rice. Very tasty and authentic. It's literally a mom and pop place operated by a nice and friendly elderly Thai couple. Highly recommended.
