I recently ate here. What a disappointing experience. The soup was cold, with raw onions and uncooked mushrooms.
The pineapple fried rice with added prawns was flavorless and also a disappointment.
There was only one couple in the restaurant, but the phone was being busily answered by the one waiter on staff. We waited 45 minutes before our food arrived, with the exception of the terrible and cold soup, while orders for pick up were being efficiently managed.
Maybe this was an off night, but it was certainly my last. Sad, because I used to love this restaurant.

Ordered here for the first time and the food was amazing. Best Thai food i have had in years! Everything was fresh and delicious. I had the spring rolls and Prig king. Both were excellent. I highly recommend eating here!

It's a small restaurant in San Mateo on the El Camino Real. There was 14 of us they accommodated us on a long table. The food was absolutely delicious and was served fast and hot. Their prices were very reasonable. Definitely a great dinner to welcome the new year. We'll definitely be back.

We got there around 5:00 pm and ordered crispy calamari, pineapple fried rice, Pad Thai, and a sweet and sour. The calamari was nice and crispy, and the pineapple fried rice was really tasty. The Pad Thai was my favorite. Overall, the food was really good and definitely worth trying.

I had a very bad experience yesterday. After taking howe two orders of prawn pad thai, I found that the shrimp were spoiled and thus inedible. I immediately took them back and since the door was now locked, I banged on it till I was admitted at 3:05, 5 minutes past afternoon closing. I explained the problem and requested that the food be replaced. I was told that it was not possible because they were closed. I did get a refund but I'm not confident that I will be returning there.

Pad see ewe with beef is $2 extra but the beef is a littler chewy.
The portion is on the small side

Had the pad Thai, which was very tasty. One of the better Thai places I have been to on the peninsula.
Pad Thai and beef noodle soup were very flavorful and tasty! I'll definitely be back.

Delicious food and great service! Staff was very friendly and attentive. We got the FF (fried chicken over fried rice), the pad see ew, and the pad Thai. The pad see ew had a bit of a smoky flavor that I wasn’t used to but absolutely loved - would def recommend. The fried chicken had a deliciously crispy breading and the meat itself was super tender and juicy. The friend rice was delicious as well. Seems like a great family place, I would definitely go again.
Just found these folks, as I was going to go to Mr. Pickles but they ignored me when I stepped in, and these folks were welcoming with good customer service. Ordered the Pad Thai and Pineapple fried rice. Very tasty, good quality decent quantity. Will be back.
This restaurant is a gem. The food was some of the best Thai food I've ever had, The staff is warm and genuinely interested in customers' comfort and positive experience.
The prices were more than fair. Simply great food and a family run business that treats the customer with respect and appreciation. Though I don't live in the area, I will definitely be back whenever I pass through San Mateo.
I've been in America for 22 years I never see racist people like the people in this restaurant very racist because I'm
