Very poor customer service although the food is amazing. Was not greeted and had to get up to the servers to gain attention although the restaurant wasn’t busy. It is very disappointing as I was trying to enjoy food.

I really wanted to try a new thai spot in the city and this had decent reviews. I WAS extremely dissappointed. We got our usual go tos from thai restaurants like drunken noodles and pad thai. We also decided to try the garlic eggplant. The eggplant and drunken noodles were TOOO spicy it was to even take a bite. The pad thai literally had NO flavor, it seemed like they forgot to put the sauce in the noodles. Definitely will not be coming back here anytime soon.

This is an update on my past takeout experience. It's usually bustling here weekends and late nights and but I managed to get a pleasant server with my own table on a Sunday evening by chance. The food is always good and affordable with a great selection of dishes but not the usual overwhelming menu which I appreciate. The green curry dish and Tom yum soup are my favorites as well as special Thai noodle dishes and of course their house 3 course fried (or boiled) chicken with ginger rice and radish side soup. So affordably priced and great for lunch or supper, but do expect a wait to be seated - it's a small local joint but mixed crowd. Only street parking on busy Race Street between 9th & 10th!

A small mighty restaurent in China town. Service was good , staffs are attentive , food came to our table quick and hot. Very conveniently located once you you find your parking near by. Restrooms are clean , max 30 people seating capacity . Food tasted good though based on your food selection. You will find various Thai flavors with some mix like fried chicken. Limited menu and believe all should be tasting good. We ordered stir fried chicken with veg , Thai basil fried chicken, spring roll , tomyum soup. Food portion is good for a single person. I ordered medium spice for fried rice and stir fried chicken(it’s very hot and I struggled to consume the whole food), usually I will be able to handle spicy food but for me it’s struggle , so be sure before you order for hot spicy. Spring roll does not seems like house made. I felt the price is bit higher for 2 person we ended up paying (60 incl tip). No complaints on food quality and serving but the price for the tiny store was no justifiable but still it’s good place for Thai food. Will recommend ?Parking: Usually tough to get parking at street side at China town and this store is at China town.

A nice place to enjoy some noodles or rice or whatever. Had the beef pad thai, close enough to traditional pad thai, not overly sweet and can be made hot. Only qualm were the beef slices; tough and not too good, but overall liked the dish. Coming back to try other stuff.

Ate here during lunch time. Food and service are great! The servers are friendly and the food I ordered came out fast. I ordered drunken noodle with beef (you can choose your own topping like beef, chiken, tofu, shrimp), and my brother ordered the ground chiken and fried egg on top. He asked to switched the rice to heinanese rice (rice cooked with coconut milk) for $1 extra.With how much expensive food is now, I'd say their lrice is decent $. Certainly won't break your bank and they give generous portion too. The only downside is how they layout their tables. Only very small isle for people who wants to go sit in the bench. I am a 5', 110lbs girl and haf a hard time squeezed in. It's a very hassle, plus you're eating so close to other people that you can smell them or hear their conversation. Feels awkward. Otherwise great service, good and environment.

This is another one of my favorites.Actually, I think you could travel the country, the world only to find out that for some reason, this is the #1 best Hainan chicken and rice. Something about Philly, ya'know?Order the chicken and rice, it's in the name. Fried, boiled or mixed. I mean, it's the best

Food was decent. The fried chicken was juicy in some areas but also dry in some areas. Would recommend eating that first while its hot. The boiled chicken is good with the sauces.The reason I gave the atmosphere/ service such a bad score is Someone kept smoking cigarettes in the back and it ruined the eating experience. Also the utensils they gave us weren't properly cleaned and had soap on it. The cups they gave us has weird black stuff inside.I will probably give them another chance but advice to management tell the person who is smoking cigarettes to close the back door and do it outside, idk if the ventilation system made it worse? Sucking outside smoky air and pulling it into the restaurant but thats a big red flag. I'm sure people don't want to inhale cigarette smoke while eating this isn't a bowling alley from the 90s. Clean your dishes more thoroughly and get rid of those glasses.

I like the fact that the place had an area for solo people to eat as well as people with Groups. The green tea Tai T was absolutely delicious and I like the multi part meal with soup rice and cucumbers.

Was good but a smidge over priced

I went here right after their lunch break so we were the first customers. We ordered their vegetable and tofu dish, and fried chicken and boiled chicken combo. I felt the tofu dish could have had more veggies in them for the price, but it was tasty. The sauce that comes with the chicken is good, especially the ginger sauce. I personally like the fried chicken (which paired well with the chili sauce), but both types of chicken were delicious. Ginger rice was nice and comforting, although I was not a huge fan of the soup except for the daikon (the soup was too salty for me). The service was quick and efficient; this place is not spacious, but it seemed like they were getting fair numbers of take out orders coming in. I would go back again and try some more items!
