We didn’t go for the atmosphere. And Nevermind the atmosphere, the food makes up for it. Very casual dining. Loved the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry (mild), brown and white rice. The Tempura Shrimp was good, but different than Japanese tempura (didn’t realize it is a Thai dish too)…darker more heavy tempura, but good. Thai tea was good, but not the best we’ve had. Overall, and most importantly, it “hit the spot!” More than satisfied. California not only knows how to party, but knows how to Thai Food. (Wah-wah…stupid joke.)

I had Pad See Ew(beef) and it was delicious. Not too oily and the sauce was good. Beef was tender and good quality. Price was slightly cheaper than the others.

Great food and service! You could taste the quality in the ingredients and cooking 100%. Felt like they did a great job keeping oil usage light too

Food is average tasting, take it from someone who has been to many Thai restaurants. I regretted to spend around $40 eating here.

The service is the worst, they didn't ask for your permission to take (grab) the dirty dish right after you finished eating and hand you the bill right away, rushing you to pay and get out pronto. They also gossip to each other saying things about the customers (I happened to understand Thai).

Definitely not coming back here anymore, BYE !

My server, Ms. Noi, was very pleasant and quickly served my green papaya salad, green curry with pork and eggplant, and rice. It was more than I could eat, so later she kindly made me to-go containers. Then, I treated myself to their delectable fresh mango with sticky rice. I reheated the leftovers in my hotel micro the next day for a very yummy lunch.

Parking: Plenty of parking

Had a craving for thai food and decided to give this spot a try after seeing glowing reviews. I was disappointed. The food was flavorless and didn't seem very fresh. I ordered pad thai, pad kee mao, Massaman curry, side of white rice, and vegetable egg rolls.

The egg rolls were ok. Oddly enough, they seemed a bit stale.

The pad thai was not good. The noodles were dry and seemed old.

Pad kee mao had no spice and flavor. Lettuce and cucumber that accompanied the dish tasted rancid.

Massaman curry was just ok. Again, lacking in flavor and there were clumps of what looks like sauce powder throughout the curry broth.

Definitely won't go back and will find another thai place.

I ordered from here for delivery. Heard from a friend that this is the best authentic Thai food restaurant. It was very good. The food tasted like the food I had when I visited Thailand a few years ago! Delicious.

Pretty good Thai food!It's been a minute since I've gone out for Thai, and I was glad I randomly picked this place. I work so close to this place and surprisingly haven't come across it. It's definitely not easily spotted on any of the main streets and is in what looks to be a somewhat dead strip mall, or at least that's how it looked when I went during dinner time.My girlfriend and I came here a few hours before closing, hoping there wouldn't be a wait. Luckily there wasn't! There was only about 3 parties dining in.When you walk in you'll see some nice lighting along the left wall and a fairly clean restaurant.We got seated, ordered some hot tea (it's cold nowadays!), and took a look at the menu.The menu has a lot of items, like appetizers, rice dishes, and more. I went ahead and ordered the Pad Thai Combo, my girlfriend got the Pad See Ew, and we got the Mango Sticky Rice to finish it off.In case you're wondering how the food was:- Pad Thai Combo: Delicious, and a hefty portion. The combo has pork, shrimp, and beef. The menu doesn't say that you can choose a spice level for this dish, so I specifically requested it to be very spicy. It was perfect.- Pad See Ew: My girlfriend liked it, and I also tried it (and helped her finish it). She got it with pork. The pork was cooked well done and the noodles al dente. I'm not a fan of this dish in general anywhere, but I can say it was pretty good.- Mango Sticky Rice: Ripe mango and sticky rice, incredible. I feel like the rice to mango ratio was just right for me :D.Service was good. The server was friendly and we were greeted when we entered as well as when we left.There's plenty of parking. There are neighboring businesses but many are vacant.Give this place a try!

Let me say this I work around the corner, my partner wanted to enjoy some good Thai food it looks promising. So we're seated and I already had a feeling like something was off. Our server assist us, grabbed our drinks and order. The food was great, nice selection of varities. Mind you we were the only people left sitting in the restaurant when another Thai couple comes in. So we're waiting for the check there's Noone around. I'm like okay let me be more patient since we're waiting there roughly about 20 minutes. So the wife of the restaurant the server hands me the check. Mind you I'm being stupid polite until she gets angry with me saying you paid two dollars for your bill and starts getting loud. I said correction I tipped you 2$ because your service and attitude is horrible. The fact she was trying to get snippy and loud was embarrassing. Your lucky to even receive a tip. She trying to demand I tip more. Excuse me, the only thing I highly recommend is the attitude. That needs to be highly adjusted. The fact we came in here with an open mind, trying to give these people the benefit of the doubt proved my gut feeling was right. My partner was embarrassed because I tipped not accordingly I simply said if they were more attentive, and more positive I would've left more. She was trying to make it look like I was broke and couldn't afford our meal. Hate to break it to you. I will not be returning to this location rather go to the Thai restaurant in orange which is cheaper and the customer service is amazing. At least they are well mannered and attentive. If you are looking to eat here just be prepared to have the attitude rolling in. Wish I read the reviews sooner. How you going to judge someone by the way they dress, foolishness. Your lucky I'm nice enough to leave two stars. If the owner is reading this please take notes, fix your attitude, be more attentive, don't be talking about your customers if you want them to come back, if you want people to leave you a nice tip, all you gotta do is be nice and stay positive. Also there's no need for you to be hiding in the back, when you have guest eating at your establishment.
