I went to this restaurant a few times last year and have recently ordered takeout.Dining in: the place was clean and not overcrowded with tables. The staff was friendly and patient with our endless questions and great at suggesting and helping us pick our entrees. The wait for the food was a bit longer than we would have liked, but the food was worth the wait. They served genours portions.If you enjoy spicy food, make sure to ask for Thai spicy pr ask for chili oil on the side because my extra hot was barely a 1.5 (on a scale of 1-5)Food ordered: pad see ew, pad thai, Basil fried rice and a few rolls.Takout: I ordered less than 30 minutes before closing. I was quite surprised they took my order, as many places close their kitchen 30 minutes before closing. The portions were once again quite generous. The food was not quite as delicious as when I ate in the restaurant, though. I plan on ordering out again and comparing it.Classic fried rice with chicken and tom yum soup, beef pad thai.

Really terrific Thai food! I had the pad kee mao and couldn't have been happier with how my dish turned out. Spice level (medium) was perfect and the flavor was bursting with every bite. Service was a bit slow, but understandable with only one person manning the floor/delivery system/phones at the same time.

I went with friends and share many different plates. The food is delicious, it's prepared fresh and came out quick.However, the atmosphere was really... off. I don't know if we went in during a slow period or a dull night, but no one else was there. We walked in for a table for 4 and they seated us immediately, but for the following 2 hours we were there, we were the only people there until the last 20 minutes. Some people picking up to go orders came by but that was it.This wouldn't have been that bad if the restaurant had music playing, but it stayed at a deafening quietness without any background music.Also, despite us being the only people in the restaurant, I did have to ask a couple of times for water.Don't get me wrong, we might have just hit it up a night when everyone decided to stay inside. The building and interior is very nice and clean, and the food is delicious. Our Experience with the atmosphere is why we are giving it a 3/5.So if you're going for food, go here.

I needed Asian food and was happy to find this place to try after reading some of the reviews. Here are the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The Good: - Clean and spacious with nice decor - Prompt service - Nice selection of array of dishes for Japanese, Thai, and other southern Asian countries - Food quality & taste: Rainbow roll $16.99 and Green curry with shrimp lunch special $13.99 was very good and nice portions - No additional service charge with credit card payment The Bad: - Expensive! I was expecting the price in Depew would be a bit cheaper than the duchess county/Westchester area, but the Miso soup is $5.99 for a small bowl, the app dumplings only came with 4 small dumplings for $5.99 - Be aware of overpriced items with small portions (see above comment) The Ugly: - The free beer with Yelp check-in is no longer honored by the owner, but still exist on the app - You can't substitute the soup that comes with lunch special with miso soup which is kind of B.S. - The tea that comes in the tea pot order is the cheap bag tea instead of the actual loose leaf as it should be for an authentic Asian restaurant - The owner is not friendly Even though the food deserves 4 stars, given the portion, price, and overall experience, I'm rating it 3 Stars. There are other Asian restaurants in the area I probably will try before coming back here again.

We ordered shrimp spring rolls, burmese samosas, and house specialties chicken and potatoes curry and the eggplant special. Every dish was absolutely delicious and exceeded expectations. Ambiance was nice for a casual family dinner out. Worth the drive from the Northtowns. Agree with other reviewers this restaurant is a hidden gem and a must try!

Food and interior was amazing. The bathrooms were clean and the staff were very friendly. They even taught us a little Thai.

On advice the Shrimp Pad Thai was extraordinary as expected. We 3 enjoyed excellent portions of very traditional tasting and appearing Thai selections. In addition to each dish appearing and tasting quite good our server was a young knowledgeable and conversant Asian man dedicated to his task, and determined to respond to my queries about similarly to a Korean restaurant should I hail him rather than wait. Excellent!

Camellia Garden is my go-to place! I always get the vegetable pad thai and it is DELICIOUS. You can customize the spiciness of it, which is wonderful to me because I do not like super spicy pad thai! I also have had the dumplings, spring rolls, vegetable spring roll, and various sushi rolls and everything is AMAZING. Staff is wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommend.

Pad Thai was lacking flavor, had to doctor it up quite a bit. Bummer, I was craving it!

Very quiet night. But the place was handsomely decorated and very welcoming. Service was gracious and accurate. The menu was extensive and we'll organized. Many sushi offerings as well as Thai and Burmese dishes.We shared a Philadelphia sushi roll and tea leaf salad as appetizers. The salad was a major surprise! I had PA nang curry and my daughter had Pad Now. Both were full of crisp vegetables and perfectly spiced. So grateful we found this place!!
