When I'm craving Thai food that hasn't been so Americanized, this is where I order from. Manola's is the best *Authentic* Thai food in the area. If you've been around long enough to remember Mekala's, it was the heart and soul of Mekala's that opened Manola's. (Meaning, the part of the family that operated the kitchen and whose recipes have been handed down through the family for generations). Their massaman curry is the best around, all their curries are divine, but the massaman is Thai soul food. The spices and chilis they use are authentic to Thailand, not weak like mayo. If you're not sure what to order, ask what the family would have themselves and you're sure to get a good rec.

Staff was welcoming when we arrived. Everything on the menu looked very good. I ordered fresh rolls, they came out with the meal, instead of as an appetizer. My friends had the cashew chicken (I think I will try it next time), a chicken salad (it looked absolutely amazing) and I had the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. Seasoning is good, fresh veggies make a great meal. Portions are superb! You will have leftovers! Looking forward to going back and trying something else there....the pineapple curry caught my eye, it sounds wonderful.

If you come here as a food delivery person, don't expect to be treated with kindness. The owner will treat you like a vagrant if you try to use his restrooms. I guess he doesn't understand that I am the proxy for his customer and shouldn't be made to feel bad or prevented from using the restroom like every other patron.Seems every other establishment seems to get it but him.

They offer many tofu and tempeh options. Salad rolls are great and the staff is attentive and kind.
It's good but not that good considering the price. My curry was watery and the vegetables in it were cut in huge pieces. They were also still pretty firm, although the flavor was nice. The salad rolls didn't have enough veggies and the peanut sauce didn't have a lot of peanut flavor. There are much better options in Eugene, I'd recommend trying those out before this.

First time ordering take out. I got home 20 minutes away and realized I was short one of the dishes. It was after closing so I went the next day with receipt in hand. They told me I had left it on the counter so they gave it to an employee. Since it was my fault, no refund and no replacement unless I pay again. The food we did eat was good so we decided that, in spite of not being given a refund or replacement, we would order some rice and a boba tea. The boba tea was made incorrectly. But rather than complain, we just left. Will not be eating here again.
