We were there today for dinner and there was only two waiters and one cook running the restaurant. Because the food is really good we decided to wait despite how busy it was. Angelica was a great waitress and helped us out she really went out of her way for is since we walked in. I definitely respect how friendly and hardworking she is especially during these times. Also the cook was amazing definitely made some really good food and did everything possible to make it a good experience regardless of the circumstances they're working under. Thank you both for your service and hard work.

Horrible experience!! Opened at 12pm. You would think thats plenty of time to be all set up and ready to start serving customers! The open sign was on and the doors were open. I walked in with no waiters in sight. I walked in before the staff except the cook! He didnt bother acknowledging me what so ever! The waitress that finally arrived was nice and even said it will be about 30 minutes if i was willing to wait. I said thats fine i was the only one in there so how bad could it be? I thought i saw the cook start my orange chicken. I also ordered pad thai noodles TO GO!! Well the cook was barely starting to bring out all of his ingredients from the back. 45 minutes later he still hadnt started cooking my food! There were already 4 tables sat by that point! I had to take my wife across town by 1pm! I finally told them i have to be across town in 15 minutes! I asked for a refund! My wife messaged from the car NEVER AGAIN WILL WE BE BACK!!! So damn disappointed! Not one apology as i walked out!! No manager in sight to complain to! The service is better later in the day! But BEWARE going in when they open! They should have just opened at 1pm!!! Then maybe they woulda been ready for customers!!!

Dammit. This place is really good. It's also super cute inside, and it's family owned. The dishes definitely had a kick to it, and the Thai Tea is huge. Got to come here with an now ex boyfriend, and his family. It's unfortunate this place is over 1 hour away. Normally the drive wouldn't stop me. However, what's stopping me from coming back is the risk of running into my ex. He was extremely physically violent, and abusive with me (especially when he has been drinking). Dammit. All the good places are in Salinas. :( But if you live near by, please come support this local business.

This place is on a steep learning curve. Terrible business practice. The restaurant was opened at noon and we arrived shortly after. We sat down and waited 10 minutes before we were approached for our order. We placed our order and waited over 45 minutes before it arrived. The cook and 2 wait persons were no where near ready to cook our orders. The food was mediocre at best---way over salted. We left most it. For Thai food consider the place on South Main Street/
First and last visit. Worst (bizarre) restaurant experience in a long while. Dismissive customer service, taste, wait time, non-Thai ambience. All awful. Got some food to go... waited over 40 minutes...and there was only one other customer and no call-ins. They were out of a bunch of things on their menu. Music was horrible ... some kind of very loud blend of hip-hop then house then country. I mean WTF? No Asians in the place. Interior cantina decor was odd because the outside of the building looked like it could have been an actual Thai restaurant. A longhaired blond lanky guy (Mgr?) was arguing with a coworker nearby - telling him that he was having a bad day and not to take it out on him, etc. Between the wait and the argument and the music (lyrics were often NSFW) I wanted to GTFO. I'm pretty seasoned and well-traveled so it takes a lot to get me uncomfortable! I almost canceled my order twice. Finally, I got up to ask what the holdup was and was told that my food was ready. The staff were just sitting around talking so who knows how long the food had actually been sitting...? I'd decided to stick it out because maybe it was just a bad first impression and the food would be worth it. Wrong. So, so wrong. The thai tea was basically a too-sweet milkshake and the pad thai tasted the way an old sponge smells. (No joke, that's the best way I can think to describe it, especially the meat.) Egg rolls were the only thing edible. Everything else went into the trash which I hated to do because I work hard for my money and hate wasting food, but I also didn't want to get myself or anyone else sick. Total waste of almost $30. I don't know who actually owns this place ...hope it isn't the blond kid... but they definitely need to be on-site more. It felt like the parents were gone. This was a nightmare. Thank god there are better Thai restaurants in the area.

Service was really slow, it took forever to get our food if you're OK waiting a long time sure go here. There was only two of us and the meal was over two hours long. It was good in a pinch

We stopped by this restaurant late on a Thursday on our way back from LA. Thankfully it was open til 9:30pm and satisfied our hunger. Every dish was good but for someone who wants Thai food, the dishes were only Thai in name. We ordered.... Pad Thai which looked more like spaghetti-shaped egg flour noodles in a dark soy sauce. It was served with chopped vegetables and shrimp but not with the traditional thicker rice noodles, eggs, bean sprouts, and chopped nuts. Thai Chicken in a slightly spicy red curry sauce with mixed vegetables and jalapeños. Thai House Fried Rice with Shrimp which was simply seasoned rice and shrimp. We liked what we had but had a hard time defining the dishes based on anything we've ever eaten. The closest we could come up with was a fusion of Thai, Chinese, and Latin cuisine

My iced Thai drink and the potstickers came very quick but as for the entrees we waited about 30 minutes to get them. My husband and I would be a little more understanding if they were busy but there were only 3 other tables seated and when we looked at the chef he wasn’t doing anything. The food was good, nothing too great but it did come warm.

I ordered here while in town overnight. Food was bad, service was bad. I ordered Pad Thai, got chow mein with a to-go container of weak peanut sauce which was the consistency of water. I don't like to waste food but I threw out half of it.I ordered online but when I arrived to pick up they couldn't find the order. I was the only one there. Had to wait while they cooked it, even though I had allowed about 35 minutes after order confirmed to pick it up. Before I left I specifically asked for a fork because I was at a motel, the waiter waved me off, "It's in there", when I got back to the room I find...a spoon... To eat noodles.
??CLOSED...Such a good place
Love this place, I'm really going to miss it too
