Wish I would've ordered another plate to eat later!! The flavors in the glass noodle salad are immaculate. Major bonus is it's gluten free! Service was attentive on a Sunday afternoon. The ambiance was bright and clean. Next time I want to try the yellow curry and papaya salad, my other favorite Thai dishes. Reminder - notify your server know if you're allergic to peanuts, a lot of Thai meals have peanuts.

Ordered take out. 1. Pad thai with chicken (good) -salty 2. Tom yum goong(not so good) - thick heavy broth that was creamy, very salty, overloaded with mushrooms, missing key Asian ingredients. 3. Yellow curry with chick (OK) Staff was friendly. I don't think we would return. Their recipes and ingredients are not quite authentic.

Yummy, lots of food. Ate it for 2 meals. Ordered the Rangoon bc you never know if it will be enough. It was plenty and quite delicious.

*FOOD QUALITY* Best Thai food I've had hands-down. The ingredients were super fresh, the portions were plentiful for two people ordering, and the flavors were abundant. Green Curry Fried Rice - Wow. Got this to share between myself and one other person and it was enough for both of us AND we had leftovers. The shrimp is a reasonable size and every ingredient was cooked so well - loved the longer grain of rice they used and the flavor was spicy but not overly so (we got spice level 2). If you want more, they provide a spice rack. The eggplant is a spiffy touch - it was cooked very well and great at balancing out spicy bites. Green beans, bell peppers, and fried eggs paired alongside the other flavors culminated into a savory, thrilling experience. Super! Mango Sticky Rice - I've been on the hunt for a great mango sticky rice, this is it y'all. The mango was just the right sweetness, ripeness, and juiciness at a nice cool temperature that nicely juxtaposed the steaming sticky rice next to it. The sticky rice is green, assuming it's pandan, and the texture was amazing! I'm someone who loves mochi, so to find this rice with a specific grainy sweetness but also a gummy bounce sparked a lot of joy. The coconut dressing with sprinkling of sesame seeds was also not overpowering - coming from someone who despises coconut - I was very happy with this dish! *CUSTOMER SERVICE* Loved my servers! One was understanding when I got scared about a wasp that was climbing the window that my arm was next to, and got rid of it right away. The other made a great recommendation on the spice levels (with a fair warning about how intense they could be). Super friendly and welcoming. *AMBIANCE* This joint lies along a cute street lined with thrift shops in downtown Ventura. There is plentiful outdoor seating (a must during beautiful SoCal summer days) as well as seating in doors. The mural and the large windows give the place an open feel which I liked! I believe Thai-pop was playing over the speakers and the TV had a show about street market foods, which all created a ~vibe~. I parking in one of the free lots a couple blocks down and walked to the restaurant. Interestingly, Rice by Mama 1 is literally a block down from this one. Not sure why they are both so close to each other, but amusing.

The food here is amazing and never a disappointment. My favorite is the pad Thai. The staff is friendly and polite. Great location off of Main Street.

Ordered this off a recommendation and was not disappointed. What we ordered is in the photos along with Thai Coconut Tea & Thai Tea with Boba ... I ordered the prik-king very spicy and I must say ; this is NOT for the week. It's so good but SO spicy , definitely holding true to its name. Next time, I'm going down a level but there will definitely be a next time!

Awesome food. Great vegan options and loved all of them . Service was good even on a busy evening.

Food was all very delicious. Clean and friendly inside. We were all very happy with our food and service. Panang chicken curry and pineapple rice with pork was the best I ever had!

First time I ordered delivery through Grubhub, horrible experience. So I ordered togo through their website, which they recommend and also much appreciate since third party delivery companies charge them extra fee and stuff. The food was nicely packed with extra hot sauce and homemade sauce togo. The egg rolls were so good, perfect size for finger food and the dipping sauce was bomb. The drunken noodles are the must, perfect seasoning, authentic Thai flavors. The noodles are chewy, soft enough but still hold texture. The pad thai is also good. The fish sauce could be too overwhelming for people who are not familiar withThai food, but it's perfect for my taste bud. Definitely will order again!

Live in Oxnard and visit Rice by Mama 2 when I want Thai food. Servings are generous, food is always hot and delicious. Service is also wonderful. I love pineapple so I ate pineapple fried rice, pineapple curry and they were both delicious! Also enjoyed the crab fried rice, Tom Yum soup and chicken satay. Thai tea with coconut milk is my favorite beverage. These items were ordered over two different visits and were consistently delicious. This is my go to spot for Thai!!

This is tasty, wide variety, plenty of vegan options for vegans like me. I did think the red rice was a little dry, but my partner liked it. The fried tofu was excellent, the sauces wonderful, prices fair for prices these days, and servers were very friendly on our first time here. We had stir fry tofu with cashews and a sweet sauce and another dish with spinach and a garlic sauce. Portions were large enough to split with enough to spare for lunch the following day. Like the fabled restaurant on the moon, the place has no atmosphere (or at least little of it) but that's a small point for a small casual haunt like this one. And that name!

I can't believe an employee poured milk this spoiled and still felt it was okay to send this out. This is complete negligence and whomever this employee is, needs to retake their serve safe test ASAP. Completely unacceptable. I will not be returning to your restaurant.
