Checking in to spread some love for our local restaurants, by returning to one my old pots that I haven’t been to in years - Chenayda. A very cozy and quiet establishment right here in Calimesa not far off the 10-freeway, soft lighting and actual quality Thai decor, you’d be missing out glossing over this place. Tonight’s order was chicken fried rice, extra chicken, and their maximum level of heat.
Very pleasantly surprised by the very nice sized portion I was served, and that the heat was different from most places. I You see, usually high heat = drowned in spicy sauce, like sriracha. Here, the spicy seasoning did exactly what I wanted: complimented the flavors of the dish.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve enjoyed spicy fried rice of quality like this. After a crazy day (and a hectic meeting earlier), the soft water falls and relaxing nature was the perfect setting to enjoy. Staff were extremely friendly and kept checking in on me as well. Give yourself a break and stop in.

The food was good. The shrimp tasted fresh. Noodles were done correctly. Not too spicy.
Building faces west and blinds were drawn making it dimly lit and difficult to read the extensive menu until eyes and/or photochromic lenses adjusted.

Pad See Ew was horribly dry, Chicken Satay was good. I had to get the servers attention, that should have been a red flag. What’s up with the foil?

For dinner, we experienced a calming ambiance with a relaxing water feature (in the evening, it is dim inside). Employees are very friendly. We were impressed with their attentiveness. Food made fresh. Everything we ate was delicious. Meats were perfectly cooked. We will be returning soon. *Thai Tea *Pad Thai *Pad Kee Mow *Panang * Mango Sticky Rice

Place was so dark had to use cell phone light to read menu. Fountain drink that comes with the lunch special tasted awful - totally artificial (Lemonade and Root beer). Panang Chicken was watery, more like a soup than a sauce. Cashew Nut Tofu was extremely salty. In addition, although was not busy that day, It took about 35 minutes for the food to be delivered.
