This Thai restaurant is located in a strip mall so there is available parking. It has ample seating and a casual yet elegant feel to it, and lots of folks solo dining. However, the food was very mediocre. I will preface that I did pick up my order 20 min. after it was ready but I was still disappointed. -Papaya salad had a very odd aftertaste I couldn't put my finger on. -Pad Thai tasted fine but was way too greasy and the sauce wasn't sticking to the noodles due to the oil. The chicken was also very low quality and probably had been frozen for a while. -Fish cakes were good, but I probably wouldn't order again. I did see a lot of people have curry dishes that looked delicious in the restaurant so if I return, I may try a curry dish instead. The prices are a little more affordable here but I probably wouldn't order the items I did this time around.

One of my favorite Thai places to go to! I usually get the beef fried rice. You also have to try their Thai milk tea.

Great foods and service! The Ambiance is great too Service is fast and portions are larger than places around. Reasonable pricing. The drinks are also double the size!

I'm vegan thus don't consume fish sauce. Apparently according to the server, they can't make their red curry without fish sauce. Their noodles such as Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles can be made without fish sauce though. Unfortunately, they don't offer dairy-free options for their Thai Iced Tea. The Pad Thai with Fried Tofu was plentiful and flavorful though I noticed that half the fried tofu were darker in color (seems older) and the other half were lighter in color (fresher).

Kanda Thai is consistently one of the best places to get Thai food and one of my top favorites. They are consistent in their spice, flavoring, and dish creation and their lunch special with the soup and salad contrasts flavors making a stellar combination.

The service was so quick and pleasant. This is the best Tom Yum soup I have ever had, hands down.I also got the steamed pot stickers and I am equally as impressed.I really really recommend this place. The quality of the ingredients is obvious. Thank you!!

Don’t waste your money. You don’t get what you pay for. The garlic edamame had maybe a teaspoon of garlic on it… the tom yum soup was basically only broth and had no cilantro. When I asked for a side of lime she handed me the slice of lemon you see in the pic. This is a rip off…

I go here all the time! It's down the street from my home. I think they are more of 4 star usually but this time was not good! Tom ka soup had peas and carrots in it and looked oily! Tasted different than normal! Thai pasta with chicken was dry and looked like old and overcooked noodles mixed with new undercooked! The service was good but her English is minimal and I have had more than one order not come out the way I requested. Lastly, ambiance not good last time I went! There were what looked like nats flying around my table and circling my plate. It was so gross I could not finish my meal nor did I take it home. Cleanliness is super important to me so I am not sure I'll go back

BEWARE!!! I ordered some takeout food from here and when I got home I took a bite of the Golden Finger appetizer. It was tough and didn't taste right. I looked at the shrimp and looked weird so I decided to try a different piece and that was the worst thing I ever had. First of all, it almost broke my tooth because it was rock hard, I took off the crust and there I saw the shrimp was completely black and was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. It looked like a zombie shrimp. Obviously I couldn't eat it but just the one bite I took was enough to make me and my wife sick. I called the restaurant to inform them, they said the owner or manager wasn't there at the time and to call back asking for them. It's been almost a month, I called several times, left my information and explained the issue giving them the opportunity to make it right but they obviously don't care because no one has called me back. All I wanted was a refund for the $85 dollars I spent there for basically poison. (I need to mention that the cashier/server was very nice though)

Automatic 16% gratuity for a table of 6 or more. The food was mediocre at best. There was a hair in our padsee eew and the beef noodle soup was inedible. I would not go back.

Owners are cheap, I used to go there at least once or twice a week but noticed the server and the owner were pissed at me for opening my laptop there, today I went in and they say I wasn’t allowed to use my laptop, the place is huge and is always empty… I don’t understand how non beneficial it is to see a customer seating and eating there… specially if its a regular… do yourself a favour and eat elsewhere…

It's a nice place to go for a tasty, quiet lunch. It's very clean and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend trying at least once.
