Food and service is amazing! Got the shrimp fresh rolls, tom Khai soup, chicken parang curry, basil cashew beef and pad Thai. Best Thai flavors I've tried. Super authentic.

I had heard good things about this place and while I went in feeling excited to catch the hype, I left a little let down. This restaurant sits almost at the heart of Plumas Street in Yuba City. We were greeted by a friendly worker who seated us almost immediately and we were met with a server just as quickly. Our orders were placed, and we proceeded to enjoy our wait. I could not truly wrap my mind around what the restaurant's theme was. There was a bar, a pretty impressive one at that, tv's with sports on, and then there were pictures of what I guess were Thailand. This was mixed in with photos of what looked like carriages out somewhere. All of that was draped with Valentine's Day decorations. The place was clean, and a bit cramped but manageable. The server came out holding all of our items like a pro. When you visit, be sure to order the Tom Kha soup. It came out hot in a pot with a tiny flame. This was the star of the night. It was flavorful, creamy, and at an acceptable temperature. This was the first dish to be devoured. The next dish you should have is the fluffy tofu with the plum sauce and peanuts. I love how it was presented: tofu and dipping sauce. The tofu was as advertised and the plum sauce was great. You can imagine my surprise when the pad see ew, my favorite Thai food dish, looked more like a casserole than a noodle dish. The noodles were stuck together the same way spaghetti sticks to itself when you drain it after boiling and then not adding olive oil. The noodles were also not the large flat rice noodles that are traditionally served, and this made me question the flavor. Sadly, the pad see ew fell short of my expectations: it had little to no flavor. It resembled pasta noodles more than rice noodles. I ventured over to the garlic pepper tofu and I was yet again disappointed. This dish was the biggest let down because I was not sure what to do with it. The base was a bed of lettuce which I would've thought to see cabbage instead. It did not take away from or add to the flavor of the dish. There was a sauce of some kind and a crunchy topping of what I can only describe as panko crumbs. What's sad is that that dish had the potential to knock this dinner out of the park. It really seemed like three tiny appetizers fighting over who would take the main stage and no one was winning. Maybe these failed dishes would taste better with meat proteins but I wonder how. Overall, our experience was adequate but I'd love to see if they make any improvements or changes. This business seems to be doing well for itself so my little review may not touch as hard as the word of the locals that go there. Ultimately, you have to make your decision on it. For now, I'll wait for another visit in a while.

It was clean, spacious, and not too busy when I showed up about 6:00. Lots of parking across the street on the side street.Larb Gai was good and was as expected, a thick slice of cabbage as a garnish.Som Tam was a little different than I'm used to. It was on the citrus side instead of the sweet side which I like. I didn't detect much fish sauce, but the biggest surprise, and a welcome one, was the amount of tomato they added that spread all through the dish giving it a much different taste than virtually all the som tam I've had before.The spice level goes 1 to 6. I like hot food but decided to start with 3 here and that was plenty spicy for me.

Stumbled upon them by accident when I was driving through from school in Sacramento and looking for a big fat spicy tasty burrito.Glad I decided to try them!!!Only item I ordered, they didn’t ask the spice level I wanted on my mixed veggie red curry but it’s perfectly spiced.Huge to go container and reasonably priced. Comes with a side of rice.Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Parking on the street wasn’t hard to find but some of the other drivers in area very rude.Def my new fave Thai restaurant since my fave in Chico closed.Only not positive remark I have to say is that I wish their mixed veggies had mushrooms too. I love the mixture of veggies it does have though! (Carrots, zucchini, green and red perfectly sliced bell peppers, cabbage, broccoli, bamboos shoot slivers)Thank you for warming my belly with such a tasty meal that I’ll be munching on for the rest of the day and tomorrow!

I used to be a customer of this restaurant open till today when I went in with my ADA service dog and was refuse service when I told the woman that my dog is a service dog and has a tag and she asked what task does my dog provide and I told her he is an alert dog she said that's not good enough we're not going to allow you to be in here. She obviously did not know what questions or what she could ask or what did legalities war of having an ADA dog on the property she argued with me was rude and obnoxious. I will never return to this restaurant ever again

The food is so yummy, just be careful on the level of spicy. I always ask who is cooking because I am a whimp when it comes to food being too spicy. Our waitress has been Kaylee (so sorry if I spelled it wrong), and she is so sweet and speedy.

Have enjoyed every dine in or take out I've experienced. Service is usually prompt and orders accurate. Food seems predictably good and prepared well. Sometimes it can be loud and not much space between tables when busy. At times menu items arrive randomly from what I expect and want; for that reason I've learned to specify exactly what I want when. Otherwise I could get appetizers after the main course or soup when I'm nearing the end of the meal.

Inconsistent. Sometimes it’s good, other times, not so much. Terrible band.

Great food, consistent and delicious. Lots of options. They have live music on some Friday nights, very fun and lively. Good drinks too!Vegetarian options: For most of the dishes you choose your protein, or no protein. They have tofu, and veggie options. The veggies are dependent on the dish and there’s great variety.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian options, you get to choose what protein you want or if you just want veggies.
