Service is amazing, but more importantly the food is unbelievable! We ordered the Spicy Drunken Noodle and Green Curry. The homemade coconut milk for the curry is heartwarming and delicious. As tourists in Santa Barbara, this place is a must go!

My husband ordered chicken wings appetizers that tasted like the meat had been in the freezer too long . I had the pad tai rice noodles which tasted pretty good. Would not go

Food was just ok, e.g., Green Curry too watery (and more white than green), Tom Yum soup too salty. Ambience was very mid, even though riggt in the middle of trendy SB downtown.

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch on Thanksgiving and stumbled upon this place. It looked more interesting than the generic expensive American or Mexican restaurants on this block on State Street.The pad kee mao was actually very legit, with the smoky flavor of the wok and the containers of Thai chili flakes and birds eye chilis. Everyone that worked there was very friendly and fast, even though they were very busy.

My Thai salad is the worst thing I've eaten in a long time. It's the most unappetizing salad on the face of the Earth. A visual disaster. The ingredients are chopped like they're meant for a hamster. I've seen volcano lava thinner than the peanut sauce they served with it. I wouldn't come back here, not even if I were drowning in wine.Making a basic salad is a piece of cake, and I've shelled out 13 bucks for this nonsense of a dish. I left a tip for the server because she was friendly, but if you're looking for some real Thai flavors, you'd be better off checking out another place.

We went there for dinner with our friends. We has rice and panang curry. The food was goog and also the service. We were also asked for a feedback about the food and service. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available. I recommend this place for thai food in Santa Barbara.

Such delicious food. Things can be made vegan easily. I recommend the Drunken Noodles with Tofu medium spicy ? The service is fantastic too. I’ve had some mishaps with food in the past and they’ve remade or fixed it no problem at all. 10/10 Thai spot in LA.

Incredible service and food! We were planning on going to the other Thai place across the street, but they were closed despite their hours saying otherwise. It must've been a blessing in disguise, because this place was practically perfect. From its decor inside, to the kind waiter/waitresses, and especially the food for being authentically Thai, there really isn't anything as comparable (and we've been to many Thai places across the Central Coast!). We are for sure making this a mandatory stop anytime we visit SB downtown, and I truly hope this place gets the business it absolutely deserves!
