A friend from work told me about this place and they did not meet my highly anticipation. I ordered garlic fried rice and it was dry and some of that rice were hard to eat. I felt they gave me the bottom of pot that was burnt. The Thai pad noodles was tasteless and sour I couldn’t eat it. However, the curry soup was very delicious. Maybe it was the cook on duty when I ordered me but I’m not going back there again. Also, the bathroom does not have a lock inside, literally you can be using the bathroom and someone might push it open. I was horrify.

Ah, the great Thai food adventure of 2024 – a culinary quest not for the faint of heart or the sensitive of palate. In our effort to embrace the flavors of Thailand, we ordered the 'medium' spice level. Now, for those uninitiated in the art of Thai spice roulette, 'medium' is apparently code for 'Let's ignite the unprepared diner's mouth on fire.' We chose the Panang curry. Little did we know, 'medium' in this context was a euphemism for 'We forgot to mention we measure our spices on the scale of impending doom.' There's spicy food that gives you a gentle kick, spicy food that makes you break a mild sweat, and then there's the kind of spicy that has you reconsidering all your life choices up to that moment – the Panang curry falls into this last category. It's the culinary equivalent of a prank war, where the kitchen clearly has the upper hand. The irony wasn't lost on us when the other dishes, also ordered at a 'medium' spice level, turned out to be as mild as a Scandinavian summer – a confusing inconsistency that adds to the thrill of the Thai dining experience. It's as if the chefs are back there, rolling dice to decide the fate of your taste buds. So, if your idea of a good time involves playing gastronomic Russian roulette and ensuring the dairy industry stays afloat with your sudden increase in milk consumption, then by all means, dive into that medium Panang curry.

Very friendly when picking up my order, had it ready and hot. I always order "medium" spice level when trying a new place to make sure that I can taste the food and judge the heat level. The food was very good, and man oh man did the heat come on! Definitely more on the hot end of the spectrum but no complaints from this heatonist. Already plotting my next trip.

On the hunt to find the best pad Thai in sac! Okay okay been here before and wasn't impressed. Came back tonight for takeout of chicken pad Thai spicy... bomb!!! This time it wasn't greasy. It was amazing! First off the portion size for dinner $16 amazing! So much food, so many leftovers! I ordered takeout over the phone, the person I spoke to was so nice. He asked my spice level and what protein I wanted. I also said no bean sprouts and they accommodated. Inside the restaurant is clean, put together and nice looking! Now the real question is is Thai canteen better than orchard Thai! Support local and try them both!

A coworker and I had a break, and we both had some errands. So we went in my friend's car and finished our errands and she suggested Thai Canteen. It was right next to where we both get our hair cut, and I had somehow not eaten there. The chicken yellow curry was near perfection.I find it hard to accept that I had not eaten there! That will be rectified!

If you want burning spice then this is the place. Of all the Thai Restirants I've tried this one will have your mouth on fire (be warned). The pad Thai is my favorite and I've recently tried their calamari which was also good. The service is quick and friendly. Also very popular is their Thai Tea! The restaurant it self is an order them sit down style but the servers are very attentive.

Walked in, got in line, the person running orders (not the one taking orders) looked past me to the person behind me got them their order, ran an in person order then acknowledged me. Then informed me they my order “didn’t print” from the online order I made. Even though it was placed over 30 min ago. Had to wait, lame. This is the 2nd time coming. First time was fine. Nothing to write home about, very middling.

This is our usual hang out spot with one of my girlfriend groups. We ordered several helpings of the Fried Pork with Sticky Rice. It's my favorite item on their menu. The pad Thai is tasty as well & easy to share since it's a large plate. Don't pass up the pork belly stir fry either. It's delicious over rice. Great snack type foods while chatting it up over Thai Iced Tea and Coffee.It's a casual spot offering good food, beer & wine. Happy hour if offered as well. The manager is friendly and attentive, so is their staff.There's a small patio with heaters. It is next to the alley with lots of foot & car traffic. Especially for food pick up & delivery services.Parking can be challenging since it's in midtown with curbside parking. Often times, I circle around a few times before finding a spot.
