By far the best Asian food I’ve had in Oregon and that’s definitely saying a lot considering I’m from New York. I was licking the plate when I was finished. The art pieces there by Noisanid were amazing to look at!

Food was prepared quickly and staff was very friendly. Seating area is sparse, but there are nice pictures on the walls. Cashew Gai was much too sweet to the point of being unappetizing. I was served a very small portion for $16--although it was listed as $14 online. Disappointing.

They used to be really good and now every time there's constant mistakes. I have an allergy to bean sprouts and I always order my pad thai with no bean sprouts and they put it in there and said I never ordered it like that and blamed it on me. My husband's last two times he's gotten his yakisoba has had no sauce whatsoever and just some basically raw noodles thrown together with vegetables that are barely cooked. Their prices are really really high for what you're getting. It's a bummer that they've gone downhill like this. Another hard thing is a lot of times the people that work there can barely speak English so there's a lot of mistakes being made. I always get the coconut ice cream with white rice it's $7 which I have no problem paying for but they literally give you like two small tiny little spoonfuls of ice cream. In my opinion this place just isn't worth it anymore

Been coming here for about 15 years. I ordered my house special curry on Uber Eats. This is how it was delivered. The new packaging makes it so they can justify much smaller portions. The peanut sauce is watered down significantly now. I also received microwave rice with my meal? It was either microwave rice or Very very low quality rice in general, nothing like what they used to serve.
I don’t know if they got bought out, or if ownership changed, but I am extremely disappointed in these particular changes. Their sit down restaurant shut down on Pearl Street years ago and if they continue to make alterations like this, it’s only a matter of time before Their campus location shuts down as well.

Ordered through doordash, food arrived 40min late and cold which is not the restaurants fault. Pretty underwhelmed by the two dishes ordered. Chicken pad thai had hardly any chicken and tasted like old fry oil. Pad see ew was awful and for a vegetable dish was nothing but noodles with a few thin carrot slices, couple strips of cabbage and four tiny pieces of broccoli. You get more veggies in a 2 dollar frozen bag. Not sure what the hype is about? Would not recommend.

Tight quarters. Yet walk in we did. My friend Steve and I. As with any good Thai place, lots of Thai-type photos. We ordered Green Curry with Chicken, Gang Keiwong Ghai. Good spice. Good taste. Pad Kee Mao. Very good. Subtle with a deft touch. Very good. Sounds and scents of a restaurant hard at it cooking. Good on them.

Got food poisoning from this place. If you don't want to puke your stomach out, never ever visit this place.

A friend recommended this place to me. The staff was friendly and the portion is big, however, the food is average. Everything kinda tasted the same. I don't have high expectation coming here, since we were not in San Francisco. However, if you're college student, it will fill your stomach!!
