Good food! I do wish they had original sriracha sauce. It’s a chili paste that’s similar. Come try out some good food.Parking: Very limited parking

Nice lady, good service, good food. I was very impressed with the taste of the food because I’ve had bad Thai food so often that I rarely even choose Thai food anymore.Little hole in the wall feel. Small space but plenty of seats. Clean. We were comfortable and filled. Will be back again next time

Great food and service. I accidentally came as they were closing for break and the lady nicely asked us to come back after 4pm. We hung around and checked out some local businesses while we waited. When we returned she greeted us warmly. The food was amazing but the service was even better. She had so many regulars coming to pick up orders. She knew each and everyone of them and greeted and interacted with them like family. This is def a hidden gem of a place and we will be back.

This is my go-to for great tasting Thai food. However, the price jump has now reached LUDICROUS speed - beyond “inflation” scale! Outrageous price spike does not justify the portion served. Bring back down the price for loyal local diners to return please.

Super delicious food and fast service at a reasonable price. The restaurant doesn't look like much inside as they seem to focus more on delivery, but don't that deter you, the place is great! I enjoyed it every time. Good variety offered as well.

The food came out relatively fast, but I heard the microwave go off a few times, so that explains that because the food was not great. The tofu was soggy and the noodles were not fresh. We asked for the spiciest and I've had crushed pepper from pizza places that gave me more kick. Overall disappointing. I wonder if they save old food from previous nights or they just prepare things way earlier and just reheat.

This place used to be one of my fave Thai food restaurants in Riverside, but unfortunately I feel like the food quality and flavor has gone down. It's a cute place to be in and the feel of the restaurant is overall nice, however their service and food are pretty subpar.

WORST THAI FOOD we have ever had. Not sure about all the positive reviews as we visited the place primarily coz of the reviews even though after we walked in were totally put off by the ambience and seating, etc. Also since the place was closing, we decided to do a ToGo.Abs. honest, the place served the WORST THAI FOOD we have ever had in this country. And Thai food is our fav food and go-to eat out places. We had ordered Monsoon/Drunken Noodles, Basil Fried Rice and Jungle Curry and the front desk lady/owner had repeatedly asked us for each dish if we wanted Spicy. And we said Yes to all.When we reached home, was so disappointed to not only find 2 of the 3 dishes extremely bland & tasteless, but NOT APPETIZING at all - completely white in color, no signs of spices, hardly any vegetables but most importantly extremely DRY. Basil fried rice was sticky white rice, literally in lumps.Since we leave pretty far from the place, there was no way for us to come and return the food, same or next day. We called the place and respectfully asked to correct the situation (future credits or partial refund, etc.) but they refused and asked to bring the food back which was not possible.Given the other positive reviews, this could have been a one-off issue or the chef was tired as it was near closing time. But instead of apologizing and rudely asking to bring the food back made us write this long review. So much to keep the Customers happy.

I love their pad kee mao (drunken noodle) and sticky rice! I highly recommend their coconut shrimp. They have coconut flakes on the outside that are crispy and full of that delicious coconut flavor. Yum!
