“It a nice little secluded secret spot. Can't beat the price!
It like very authentic when it comes to Thai traditions. The meals made here are from a family who originated from Bangkok that came over to the US. Even though the lady is 98, she still bustlin and have tons of energy it seems. Haha. We had a nice conversation about family, other countries, about our Dads and much more.
I had the Spicy Thai Fried Rice with Beef, medium. Water came with a lemon. It was just perfect, not too hot and slow can still smell the different fragrances from the herbs, pepper and even the beef.
Next time I am defintely doing Pineapple fried rice and the curries!

It very quiet, no rush. Business was slow even at 1300 on a Thursday. Parking very limited.

The interior had that 1950 homestyle vibe. Round table and booths. It kinda reminded me of my grandma home.
If you want to expose your kids to real thai food, I can see this being a good place to start. So give it a shot!“

I ordered the aguachile shrimp, in any restaurant you usually get 12 shrimp this place was more like 3 dz. I could not finish them very tasty, I would recommend this place, their margaritas are blended and taste great. If you go to Santa Maria stop here for a bite.“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
At this point, there’s no going back. I go here at LEAST once a month. My personal favorite order is the protein roll, the miso soup and the cucumber salad which comes out to around $20+. Pretty macro friendly if you know what to get. There are so many options, and the food is presented very nicely. I’m a major introvert, so the fact that almost half of the seating there is booth seats is a huge A+. I might be overselling it a tiny bit because I love sushi and ramen, but this is a very solid restaurant. :)“

I also ordered the red chilaquiles with Asada and I was so pleased with the taste of everything. The only thing that would have made it even better was if the tortillas were freshly made.“

“Each time I visit the Santa Maria area for work. I make it a point to eat here. I asked for a recommendation for a great Mexican restaurant while visiting the local Lowe’s. Everyone said to come here. I’ve never been disappointed. Great food and service. I was last there in August 2025. They were preparing over 600 tacos for a party. Never missed a beat for the customers dining in. Definitely recommend going there“
