Unfortunately the Pad Si Eew noodles were eew. They were completely overcooked, so much so that the dish didn't even taste the same. They were mush, totally clumped together in small balls? For a dish over $20, not worth it at all.

Anchan is a culinary treasure trove that promises an authentic Thai dining experience like no other. From the moment you step foot into this cozy establishment, you’re greeted with warmth & hospitality that’s as genuine as the flavors they serve. Owners Apple & Adam set the tone with their welcoming demeanor, ensuring every visit feels like a homecoming. The staff, armed with a wealth of knowledge about Thai cuisine, guide you through a menu brimming with tantalizing options. From the zesty Tom Yom soup to the delicate vegetable dumplings & refreshing Som Yom salad, each starter sets the stage for a culinary adventure. The Pad Thai, a perennial favorite, delights with its harmonious blend of flavors, while the crispy duck emerges as a true star, boasting unparalleled succulence & flavor. But the delights don’t end there. Anchan’s curry dishes, such as the green curry with vegetables & tofu, showcase the restaurant’s mastery of Thai flavors, leaving taste buds tingling with delight. And let’s not forget the blue of anchan itself, a charming touch that adds to the restaurant’s allure! From the Anchan rice & tea to the coconut ice cream, every dish is a testament to the culinary prowess of this beloved Thai eatery. In a sea of dining options, Anchan stands out as a beacon of excellence, earning its place as a favorite among Thai food enthusiasts. If you’re in search of an unforgettable dining experience that’s as delightful as it is delicious, look no further than Anchan!

This location has been a Thai restaurant for a few years. It recently changed ownership and the menu - for the better. The food and the service are excellent. Dinner Thai restaurants typically bring out the food when it's ready. We were asked (party of 3 that didn't order 3 entrees). The food was hot and delicious. Ask your server if you need help about options and spice level. They know and we're very helpful. Highly Recommended.Vegetarian options: Most dishes provide a choice of protein, including tofu.We also asked for extra vegetables in our entrees.

Our first time getting food from here and it was a very good experience. The food was fresh, very tasty and flavorful. We ordered the Pad See Ew w beef, which was fantastic, and not greasy like it often can be. We also got the Tom Kai coconut soup w Shrimp and the shrimp were deveined well, big and fresh. We also ordered the Red Curry with tofu and it was so great, slightly spicy, but just the right amount (which is good bc they don’t give you a spice level option when ordering on line). We also had coconut rice and it was a fun blue color and totally tasty! I highly recommend this place, the chef is a little older lady who came out and said hi, and was very friendly. We’ll def be back!

Really like this place. Small and a little loud, but clean and pleasant. Other than a miss on steamed dumplings (cold AND replaced and removed from the bill), the food was excellent. Pad Thai, Red Curry, fried dumplings and Salmon were really great. Nice portions, well prepared and very flavorful. Great value for a quality Thai meal. Owner was on site and a great host. Will definitely be back soon.

Ordered takeout at night from Anchan recently through a food delivery service this weekend. Made no changes to my order of Tofu Pad Kee Mao (No Dairy, no Gluten) Some of the best drunken wide rice noodles I’ve ever eaten. They even took the time to carve carrots into a flower, which incidentally were the only carrots present in the dish. The onions were crispy and the bell peppers were sliced thin and in different colors. I was super grateful for no cooked carrots in the dish as in Asian dishes as they typically serve as a low cost filler. Very pleased with the takeout presentation. Will be returning.

We have gotten take-out here multiple times and it is legit. Good food. My GF likes it because she can click "Not Spicy" and when she asks for crispy tofu, the tofu is crispy. The owners are very friendly and accommodating.
